Absolutely. If you never have the face the consequences of your decisions then you have no incentive to do the job right.jonny2mad wrote:one of the reasons we chopped Charles head off was because he had conspired to have the scots invade the uk after he lost the English civil war .
I dont think there would be anything wrong with putting merkel on trial as a traitor or Jackie smith if she told police to not investigate child rape .
The fact that political leaders can get away with being traitors encourages them to be traitorous

It is has been announced that another victim of the recent attack has died of their injuries, taking the total death toll to 5
I cant support calls to murder or execute politicians with whom one disagrees, whilst times are still more or less normal and they can be removed by voting.
In case of war or revolution, killing the last lot of leaders might well be justified, but not in peacetime.
As an example, I would have supported the execution of Hitler and his henchmen.

I'll go by the Vermont State police rule.boisdevie wrote:"In case of war or revolution, killing the last lot of leaders might well be justified, but not in peacetime. "
well, we might not have declared war but certain bits of islam have certainly declared war on us. When innocent parties are being deliberately murdered I'd say that was not peacetime.
If a subject points a gun at you or any other person you shoot him dead NOW!
I can't find this in print anywhere but years of incidents with death resulting make it clear it is their policy.

I would think that that is also British Police policy, if the perpetrator happens across an armed response vehicle that is. Most coppers would just have to duck and run and unfortunately a few over the years haven't been able to do that quickly enough. There aren't too many though but one is more than enough.vtsnowedin wrote:I'll go by the Vermont State police rule.boisdevie wrote:"In case of war or revolution, killing the last lot of leaders might well be justified, but not in peacetime.

It is hard to follow that policy if you yourself are unarmed. The VSP don't have that problem.kenneal - lagger wrote:I would think that that is also British Police policy, if the perpetrator happens across an armed response vehicle that is.

3 persons attacked and injured by a knife wielding attacker at a rail station in Manchester, suspect arrested.
Not confirmed to be jihad, but it does look like it. The attacker is said to have shouted Islamic phrases during the attack, and the investigation is being led by anti terrorist police.

Edited to add that this is now believed to be a terrorist attack, police statement.

I think adequate funding for sufficient numbers of policemen would allow more work to unearth the attackers before they can cause trouble. At the moment government cuts mean the police are over stretched and demoralised.
Someone defending themselves against a knife attack at a railway station, using a gun would probably guarantee deaths of other than the attacker. Also what sort of gun? Most people couldn’t handle a small arm without significant practice.

Also what sort of gun? Most people couldn’t handle a small arm without significant practice. - then let only people who've had significant practice own a firearm. Bit like letting those who have proven they can drive have a driving license.

I proposed the hypothesis. It is now for you to disprove it, if you can. I presume you have sufficient information to do that.
Even the armed police at airports use a gun that would send a bullet through 5 people standing one behind the other before it stopped.
Do you think that will work?

Shame the victims weren't allowed to have guns with which to protect themselves. Which means by the time the police get there it's often so late all they can do is draw a white line around the body and then do some paperwork.
That’s fine, just send a letter to all potential knife attackers asking them to check their chosen victims at railway stations have a firearms licence and a weapon so they have a fair chance of being able to shoot them.....then let only people who’ve had sufficient practice own a firearm
