Witnesses: 'Petrified' Man Killed

Fox News ^ | 7/22/2005

Pity.

[Eva]

Ha, a terrified, terrorist.

[Niteranger68]

"Eyewitnesses to the killing of a suspected bomber in London said the man looked “petrified” as he sought to escape the clutches of police."

Allah is not going to be pleased with him!

[over3Owithabrain]

LOL - that might actually be their version of paradise!

[r9etb]

I'm sure it was very traumatising for Mr. Whitby to see an actual GUN being brandished in public; what IS this world coming to!

I'm sure that you, after seeing an event like this, would stroll to the nearest restaurant for a leisurely breakfast. Give the guy a break -- it'd shock hell out of anybody.

[kevao]

He is in a better place with some virgins now...

And quite hot and bothered.

[DoughtyOne]

I would like to hear what caused this incident. If this was a terrorist, and I have no reason at this point to think otherwise, good for the police.

With such an incident though, full disclosure would be a good idea if it didn't impact an ongoing investigation or jeopardize public safety.

This was an interesting event to say the least.

[lightman]

Criminal profiling at its best.

[cherokee1]

Huh--uh, no virgins, no jihad---didn't follow procedures---didn't take anyone with him---failed to fight the cops to the death. Went straight to hell on the spot. Best he can hope for now is being buried under a little holy dirt.

[Rummyfan]

I think they actually get one seventy-two-year-old virgin and seventy-one mother-in-laws!

[ArrogantBustard]

Well, which is it a fox or a rabbit?

More like a rat.

I was just making light of the fact that Britain was previously "gun free" (so to speak), and now that they are facing this terrorism, the guns of law enforcement are coming out in the open.

[anniegetyourgun]

xactly.

Petrified, but running from the cops??
Seems like it would be hard to do both at the same time.

Never, ever run from the cops.
When they tell you to stop you better damm sure STOP.
If they tell you get your hands up just do it.

As "hyper" as the Brits have to be right now I cannot blame the police at all.

"He half-tripped, was half-pushed to the floor,” Whitby said. "One of the police officers was holding a black automatic pistol in his left hand. They held it down to him and unloaded five shots into him. I saw it. He's dead, five shots, he's dead."

If that's the way the story is going to be reported, then there will be millions of supporters of the terrorists, both in the UK and abroad, including the leftist media and especially the BBC, who are going to be accusing the police of brutality and wrongful death.

[theDentist]

I'm still waiting to hear if he was carrying a bomb or not.

[Williams]

Agreed. It sounds liek tehy killed him not because he might get away, but because they thought he might detonate a bomb. But I've heard nothing yet confirming this guy had a bomb. I don't think running is a killing offense, but his terror indicates something was going on.

He's dead, Whitby!

[Born Conservative]

I'd like to know why he was running from the police (obviously a fatal decision on his part).

[adorno]

He is in a better place with some virgins now...

Since he was fleeing and scared of his fate, and did not commit jihad like he was expected to... he might not qualify for the 72 virgins.
