I hope the Policeman pulls through. RIP the 2 murdered people and I hope they catch the b
d before he murders anyone else.
On a side note, why are they doing a post mortem on the man? Apparently the neighbour found him with a hole in his head? Isn't it obvious how he died?
You can't assume. It may appear obvious. But you need to confirm he wasn't poisoned etc as well.d before he murders anyone else. On a side note, why are they doing a post mortem on the man? Apparently the neighbour found him with a hole in his head? Isn't it obvious how he died?
Just days out of jail and in possession of a gun; there is zero chance of him holding a firearms certificate.
No amount of anti-firearms legislation would have prevented this, just as making murder illegal failed to prevent his actions. All anti-firearms legislation ever achieves are restrictions to the freedoms of the law abiding.
It really is about time that all Police officers are given the option of routinely carrying firearms subject to qualification. No officer should ever be required to carry firearms but allowing officers the choice would give protection to many. Even those officers unwilling to carry firearms personally would benefit from the protection afforded by the presence of armed officers.
Maybe this officer would still be alive and the criminal either arrested or dead, either of which would be a big improvement on the current sad situation.

Ah I see, thanks for that. Would never have thought about it that way.
Well, let's say that the GF had been feeding him meals laced with arsenic so that she could steal his house/car/whatever.. Then the question would be did the arsenic kill him or not? Because SHE would then be up for murder too...Uncle Fester said:

That's a massive and unwarranted over-reaction.The total number of deaths by shooting in UK is around 200 pa of whom almost none are police officers. Very few police officers get shot at all and of them only a handful receive serious injuries.
Although we all remember the unfortunate incident earlier this year where one police officer was shot by another during training.

The guy they are looking for is an ex-nightclub bouncer with a history of violence. I would imagine that someone like that who has done time would know exactly where to get an illegal firearm so I don't think there will be much of an "all guns are evil!" outcry this time.
Of course he would; that is what is meant by "outlaw guns and only outlaws will have them".Gassing Station | News, Politics & Economics | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
