I could add the blood is also on the hands of those that have started
all this hatred, namely those who invaded a muslim country and fuelling
hatred that was already present. where should we stop the blaming? at
what point? at 911?
I don't think that there is much doubt that if the bombings had not
taken place then this shooting would not have taken place.
It might also be argued that those who you wish to hold as being
"responsible" perhaps had the "responsibility" to open fire in
those circumstances however tragic and however mistaken the action
turned out to be (with your PhD in hindsight). What would you be
saying right now if it had turned out that he WAS in fact a suicide
bomber and he had detonated a device and later you found out that
the police
what if what if.. not interesting. I agree, once again, I agree that
it was a difficult situation, almost impossible. fact is that SOMEONE
killed SOMEONE innocent and nobody is getting any punishment here.
that is a problem no? this sets precedence, yes or no?
is this the kind of precedence you like to set? let the gov. shot at
will and then lets see if they were right. if you want to stop this
kind of attitude you need to trial and convict. surely?
COULD have stopped him.
You also use the term "murder" in a highly emotive way, I suspect
deliberately.
moi? where did I write murder?
Murder is a legal term and it is far from clear that this victim
was murdered. He was shot and killed in appalling circumstances in
an appalling situation and at a time of massive tensions- ALL of
which are the direct responsibility (and intentions) of the bombers
themselves.
Ok, lets play with terms, love it. was he assassinated? slaughtered?
that sound like it, 7 bullets in the head. is slaughtered
a valid legal term? you re trying to dismissing responsibility due to
all the circumstances at the time, I disagree.
when someone is murdered/killed/slaughtered/assassinated and it was
wrong, surely someone should be convicted.
that is my entire point is: theres no excuse for killing someone by
"accident" or by tension or whatever.
