From: "Graham Gartshore", [EMAIL PROTECTED] GUNMAN LAWFULLY KILLED, does not make any sense? A former soldier who was shot dead by police after repeatedly aiming an air rifle at officers was lawfully killed, just does not ring true to me. If you were just simply Joe Public out with your faithful old Diana .177 and suddenly a load of armed Police jumped out of the bushes shouting and screaming at you while pointing a gun at your head, you would panic and freeze, your gun would no doubt go every where. Then we have a trained soldier out with his air rifle, confronted by armed men shouting at him, but instead of remaining cool and calm as a trained soldier would, accessing the situation, he for some obscure reason points his old air rifle at armed Police, why? What would he have to gain, it's a no win situation, no soldier would do it, unless he had some sort of death wish. It's true what you say point a weapon at armed police and you will be shot, an inquest heard that Mr Kitts also aimed the gun at two marksmen even after they shouted several times: "Armed police, put your weapon down. Antony Kitts must have been one of three things, slightly blind, slightly deaf, or suicidal. As for having a go at Police, why not, what have they got to hide. They are a law unto themselves, they police themselves, they answer only to themselves, now they want to be a secret army. To be able to shoot someone then hide, what are they the SS. I have no time for the Police, I tried to hire a lawyer once for an appeal, he would not do it as he said that the Police where I live were incapable of telling they truth, they were dangerous to mess with. He was correct, I had upset them, I was confronted by two detectives one day, taken to a Police station that they were not from, and told if I did not toe the line things would happen. I was told that I had to meet one of them in a dark building and come alone or else. I was one step ahead, I had contacted a good lawyer who informed the Chief constable of what was going on, I confronted the detective with a witness and he was exposed. I had to go and see his inspector and was wired for the occasion, I was persuaded to drop the charge as they would deal with it, leave it to us he said. I have reported this case to my MSP and await her reply. I do not trust them, Hungerford and Dunblane proves my point. There was a bit in the my local paper the other day that the two policewomen who comforted the bereaved at the shooting in Dunblane would go ahead with suing the authorities, this would be why a spokesman for the court where armed men freed the two criminals last week said, the court officials would be given every help possible to overcome this trauma, does not want to be taken to the cleaners more like. To end on a more fun note, fed up with the system, then download this http://www.gemtree.com/download/desktop.exe it has a machine gun that expels shells all over your desktop, so try some target practice on you wallpaper. Graham -- He was lawfully killed, and yes he did appear to have a deathwish. It appeared to be "suicide by cop" to me. I can't think of any other reasonable explanation why in the middle of the night you would be walking around with a loaded air rifle and point it at a police officer when challenged. Steve.
