You can't deter crazy people, these guys ran at the armed police trying to get shot. The 7/7 bombers blew themselves up. Yet you think the threat of death will deter them....

No i dont but we need that option, however some people would sooner we did not :rolleyes:

In cases like this i believe in shot to kill if they have been seen to have killed.

What difference will that make? That's what they want. Both in terms of their deaths and that they want this country to be more like that...

If the police had just responded and shot them, it would have hit the news as a racial motivated attack and forgotten within a week. Minus the beheading, these things happen daily in the UK.

Reporting it differently or toned down would stop others from trying the same, if they think there no-one will notice. At this stage I think this is just two people, obsessed with religion and The West, who crossed the line in to violence, rather than a terrorist cell. The accent of one them shows they have lived in London for at least 10 years, so if he was from overseas originally, he came here at a young age.

Personally if they did this because of what is happening in 'their lands' (East London judging by the accent but never mind) I'd quite happily give them a lift back there and drop them off from about 50,000 feet.

Surely if Allah is happy about them committing murder they won't come to harm and will be miraculously saved...

If they targeted a soldier, based on religious views then it is more a hate crime in my eyes, although the dictionary meanings of the dictionary of both words may differ. This may be because of the War on Terror brainwashing by the government through the media in the past though.

If they targeted the guy not knowing he was a soldier but based on him wearing a t-shirt supporting the troops, its another story.

Allah akbar (or whatever it is) is also used daily by most Muslims as a saying. Just happens that we think of the barbaric terrorists shouting it when we hear it. Terrorists or extreme deranged religious fanatics, they were obviously Muslims.

Even America gives people trials before death sentences and then they end up costing the state just as much, if not more, to execute.

Besides it's what they want. They wanted to be killed today by the sounds of it.



If they're like all the others they'll think death is part of the plan and they'll be rewarded in death. Again, they'll probably jump before they're pushed off that plane.
