    suspect" and that makes 6.

    Since you are so good with numbers...

    Can you tell us how many Irish have died at the hands of the English?

    What about the Scottish and the Welsh? I'm sure they've killed a few as
    well.

    Maybe, but you Pomgolians are learning fast.....didn't you have an 11
    year old gunned down the other week by a teenager? Your 'special' cops
    popped a few rounds through an innocent guys brain because they
    'thought' he was a bomber?..........

    Not as many as the number of Native Americans who died at the hands of
    the septics.

    Teach a man to fish and he and his pikey mates will have the
    river cleaned out in a day.

    You're misinformed. They didn't 'think' that he was going to set off a
    bomb. They knew he was unarmed and not carrying explosives, but they
    believed that he had _previously_ tried to explode a bomb. It was a
    'punishment shooting'.

  18. So used completely inappropriate tactics then. They *knew* the BD
    people were heavily armed and had no compunction about using their
    (potentially illegally modified) weaponry.
    Barricaded being the key word. By the time it had been mishandled to
    that degree it was already pretty much past the point of no return.
    Given that some of the children died as the result of either crushing
    injuries caused by the building collapse (attributable to the fires and
    there is some debate as to whether the fires were caused by the Branch
    people or the FBI) or acute CS toxicity (from the rounds the FBI pumped
    into the building) I think your assertion is a little off.

    Especially as the whole situation *could* have been avoided in the
    first place if the FBI hadn't been so heavy-handed in the first place -
    the BD people *knew* they were under surveillance and knew what was
    going on - and were prepared to deal - right up until the shooting
    started.
    No British government officials or agencies were involved in that *at
    all*. The leader of the cult was American, the Congressman involved
    was from the US Congress and the whole event was triggered by a
    Congressional investigation.
    Well quite. Learning your facts might make you look slightly less of
    one eh?

    An excellent argument sir. Please clarify however, if someone's foreign and
    *does* have a visa do they still deserve to be shot at sight or can they get
    away with enduring just a bit of police brutality?
