His crime?

Wearing a leather jacket and being a bit dusky skinned on a warm day. A bit like the two men who were asked to leave the plane in Malaga.

It takes a ****** to know a ****** old boy.

Haha. I did laugh at the original post about the being shot thing.. BUT I have to disagree with you on this post. And agree with Tealeaf.

His crime wasnt wearing a leather jacket and being a bit dusky skinned. His crime was, aswell as a suspect of terrorism, jumping the barriers of the Tube station, a WEEK after the 7/7 attacks.. running from Police, when instructed to stop. Running onto a Tube train attempting to escape. Not only that, but he wasnt even supposed to be in this country.

It was his OWN fault he was shot if you ask me. Or this country will never crack down on terrorism. Brazillian or not, a week after the 7/7 attacks, you do NOT act like that, jumping barriers etc. What do you think will happen!? If I was the officer giving the autority to shoot to kill that day. I would of give it without a second doubt in my mind.
