Quite right, my apologies I accidentally ascribed DD's post to you. When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy. Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Anyway, I'm more interested in everyones opinions on this... http://t.co/S3VgMvI David Starkey. When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy. Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Neither of those shootings were 'on a whim' and one of them wasn't even by the Met. When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy. Lucius Annaeus Seneca

The bloke with a chair leg had it in a plastic bag and it had been reported as a sawn off shotgun. He didn't put it down when instructed and turned it towards the Police, it was unfortunate but self defence. And the guy in Brighton wasn't shot by the Met.

Actually no I wouldn't Kratos was ill conceived and was implemented hastily in an atmosphere of hysteria. I'm interested though, can you give me some examples of where as you claim Met firearms teams have shot people on 'a whim'? I suspect not.

Duggen should have had sympathy for them, and thought through the consequences of his actions before hand. Exactly. When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy. Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Hi Nigel As far as I'm concerned I could give a damn about Duggen. Trident don't follow people and stop them on a whim, plus he was carrying a firearm of some description. The police shot him, well tough titty. If he wasn't carrying then maybe he'd still be alive. I have no sympathy for him, I feel more sorry for the Police who shot him.

No idea, I only know what's been reported. If I were being cynical I would suggest that if he had threatened officers then a statement would have been released by the Met saying so. To be perfectly honest, what interests me more is how a police officer happened to shoot another police officer. Maybe the other copper was Brazilian?

Did he point a weapon at the police and/or was he holding a weapon and refused to obey their orders for him to disarm himself? If yes, then he got exactly what he deserved. Once again, cops are not my favorite people. But I sure do not want to live in a society where the only time cops are allowed to defend themselves is after the criminals have fired the first shot. That remains as yet unknown to the public. When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy. Lucius Annaeus Seneca

You're not kidding, I read 'Warrior's Honour: Ethnic War and the Modern Conscience', which he published in '97. What a total load of dross. When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy. Lucius Annaeus Seneca

It has nothing to do with Mark Duggen. I have actual footage of what started off the riots in Tottenham right here... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhxqIITtTtU When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy. Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Its race based but does that automatically make it racism? When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy. Lucius Annaeus Seneca

This covers me. I've been shooting since I was about 12 or 13 since my school had a fairly large C.C.F. unit (even though I was in the RAF section for the free flying lessons) and got tons of experience on the SA80 as well as the .22 Lee Enfield No.8. They taught us about maintenance and cleaning as well as respect and accuracy. I think at one point I was going through about 30-40 rounds a week on the No.8 Happy days. eta: For what it's worth I'm about as city as they come, lived in London all my life. It was the same for me, except the weapons also included the Lee Enfield 303, the 7.62 SLR and AK47 on occasion.

I don't think they differ much if any at all. In fact its possible that those who live in cities and are involved with Cadet units are most likely the most proficient with firearms. Country kids simply don't have that much to do with firearms, maybe the odd shot gun but thats about it. Not really the same kind of hunting over here. Grouse and partridge, & theres deer hunting but that is expensive and tends to be the realm of middle and upper class businessmen. Target shooting, Clay pigeon/skeet, or the military are more likely the routes to firearms in the UK. Dangerous beasts, those skeets. So how do you stave off an attack by a grizzly bear? Simple, don't go to the Zoo. When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy. Lucius Annaeus Seneca

there's plenty more examples. blacks are 26 times more likely to be stopped and searched than whites. that is racist by any definition...

Thats fairly accurate but it doesn't account for the looters who weren't kids, their were people of 4a yrs old nicked. There is something very wrong with our society in which people can do the things we've seen. It may not be the cause but the social problems have been highlighted by these last few days.

What I mean is that guns are very widely available (how many DZ.com'er have multiple firearms for example). When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy. Lucius Annaeus Seneca
