IAN Blair, Commissioner of London's Metropolitan Police, admitted on July 22nd, 2005 that Britain is implementing a shoot-to-kill policy in relation to what he termed 'the fight against terrorism'.
However, Jean Charles de Menezes, the Brazilian murdered on a London tube by British police (SAS?) on Friday, July 21st, 2005, had no connection with the bombings in London on either that day or two weeks previously. IAN Blair, Commissioner of London's Metropolitan Police, admitted on July 22nd, 2005 that Britain is implementing a shoot-to-kill policy in relation to what he termed 'the fight against terrorism'.
However, Jean Charles de Menezes, the Brazilian murdered on a London tube by British police (SAS?) on Friday, July 21st, 2005, had no connection with the bombings in London on either that day or two weeks previously.
The police had ample time to apprehend de Menezes who they followed from his home to the Stockwell tube station. He was labelled a bomber as his photo was flashed around the world on Sky TV - with total disregard for justice or the presumption of innocence. Obviously frightened he panicked and ran away from the police. Running away from the police is hardly a murdering offence.
First establishing the truth was never a necessity of the Brits before opening fire and killing (when a person could have just as easily have been arrested) or arresting and convicting innocent men. We have had our fair share of shoot-to-kill victims (Aidan McAnespie to name but one) and innocent men being locked up for 'crimes' they never committed, i.e. the Birmingham Six, Guilford Four etc. Guiseppe Conlon died in prison an innocent man and the Brits knew he was innocent.
Had de Menezes a device strapped to his body he had ample time to detonate it, if he was a suicide bomber surely he would have detonated a bomb before he was brought to the ground. When he was wrestled to the ground on the tube, with his arms behind his back no doubt, he was not in a position to detonate anything. Surely then firing eight shots into his body, in front of horrified passengers, was cold-blooded murder.
Tony Blair and George Bush have created a climate of fear with the connivance of the mainstream media (with few honourable exceptions) to justify introducing seemingly never-ending draconian legislation in their quest for total control over the hearts, minds and souls of the world. They have orchestrated a campaign of ethnic mistrust and set race against race.
Their disregard for truth, and human life, is appalling. In Fallujah in November 2004 over 1,000 were killed and injured by the US and British forces in all 25,000 civilians killed and 70,000 injured in Iraq in just over two years. Their lies regarding 'weapons of mass destruction' in Iraq have been exposed and still the slaughter continues.
Bertie Ahern and the PD ‘Rotweiller’ Michael McDowell have drawn Ireland into this so-called 'war on terror'. By stating that al Qaeda cells are operating in Ireland; that the London bombings are "an attack on us all" and allowing Shannon airport to be used by the US to transport troops and munitions to and from Iraq, and also transport kidnapped suspects to 'friendly' countries, they are inviting retaliation. In January, February and March 34,647 troops passed through Shannon per month, over 115,000 in all between January and June this year.
But the 'war on terror' is not working. The more draconian laws that are enacted, the more repression, intimidation and brutality employed by a state, the more resistance that state meets. This goes too for invaded countries and the oppressors should learn that lesson from history.

Jump To Comment: 1The police genuinely did think he was a bomber and to expect them to defuse a bomb on a suspected living sucide bomber is a bit much, the police have a job to do and they are human and don't want to die while having to protect the public and also doo gooders, I think what happened is terrible and my sympathy goes to the victims family and to the policemen who fired the shots as they have to live with killing an innocent man, it appears that the survellience at the house was for one of the 4 subsequently arrested bombers and that because the police were so streched the army were doing survellience - they guy who should have been doing the watching was taking a slash when De mendez came out and couldnt say for sure that it wasnt the bomber (he did look rather similar) and he called it as he though de mendez was the bomber, the police took it that he was the bomber and dealt with him as such - when its all done and dusted the police and the army survellience are going to try and blame each other for the mistake and at this point my opinion is that the guy having the slash was the one whos to blame - The army are saying they were trying to alert the police that he wasnt the bomber but that there was a breakdown in communications as some of the radios don,t work on the underground - I think the army guys fucked it and the police are left carrying the can.
