He was wearing a bullet proof vest, those nasty policemen must have used a head shot to kill him outright when a few shots to the body and legs would have sufficed. Once again a cold blooded execution is carried out with no fair trial. I'm starting to wonder if this would have been different if the victim wasn't a muslim.
They didn't walk in and land it in his forehead YC A sniper shot to the head from distance, as he was at the window and potentially able to cause further injury to others...
Wait. The thick **** popped his heid oot the windae? The ****in idiot deserved to get shot just for that. "Oh, I wonder what's happening outside my siege?" *bang* The ****in walloper.
I don't have a problem with that. Shoot to kill any **** who's waving a gun around let alone shooting people.
Do you not often get snipers at a siege then? I would have thought they were part of the siege 101 manual. He shot two or three coppers after they tried to go in and take him, the authorities have every right to base their following actions on that event. If he pops up at the window waving a gun about, potentially to shoot/ kill someone else then why not...the fact he was on his way out of the window with a gun when they shot him, and he had asserted that he would die with the gun in his hand, goes to demonstrate that he wasn't intending to go peacefully either...ergo shoot to kill. I would stand by that for someone who hadn't just killed seven other people as well, and non muslim, although esp from Bristol
He filmed himself committing them and posted it online, then phoned a French news channel and told them why he'd done it and that he was going to do more. Flimsy.
