London Explosions - Tubes - Bus

Reports coming in now.... 0912 EDT 21Jul2005 RTRS - Explosions reported on London tube, bus -police ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LONDON - Emergency services rushed to three London underground stations in London on Thursday after reports of explosions two weeks after bomb attacks killed more than 50 people in the British capital. 0839 EDT 21Jul2005 - Nail bomb said to explode on London tube-source ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LONDON - A nail bomb exploded at London's Warren Street underground station on Thursday, a source at a city transport company said. The source also said there was a report of one shooting but did not specify where. 14:20 21Jul2005 INSTANT VIEW-Explosions reported on London tube, bus However, this is not thought to be on the scale of the previous London attack... SHANE BRIGHTON, ROYAL UNITED SERVICES INSTITUTE There doesn't seem to be any report of any substantial blasts. The worst-case scenario with the non-explosions or minor explosions would be that these are devices that haven't triggered properly. Beyond that, it looks like it may be people messing around, copycat-type stuff. The absence of any clear evidence of substantial blasts means that this is on the face of it at the moment not a follow-up attack of the same proportion. It may be an attempt by people to cause panic, maybe people with similar ideas or ideological sympathy with the people that did the recent bombings...The nature of the incidents doesn't appear to be anything like as serious.

Looks like the B-Team. Seems the only person injured is the bomber himself at Warren St. Doh!
If that is true, I'm glad he didn't die - instead of the evil b-----d dying in a second, he will be hurt but survive, and hopefully languish in prison for a long time. :mad: Of course, if the person hurt was an innocent victim, I'm sorry for him. Cheers, Vikram.

Latest rumour is that they were tear-gas cannisters. Also looks like the only injury is one of the perpetrators, which, if true, is kind of poetic.

Sorry, I am not better than that. I am of the firm believe that we need to publicly execute anyone that does one of these attacks and then survives. If they want to die for a cause so bad then I saw let them, but let it be an option to happen at the hands of a family member who lost someone to one of these cowardly attacks. Apparently all these people understand is fear. Lets give them some.

Bit pointless, as they are likely convinced of a fine old time in the afterlife. Life imprisonment seems a much more fitting option. Preferably with suffient pork(either kind) in their diet.

Why? So we can waste money feeding and storing and guarding them? Nope, death, on tv, so thier compatriots can see what happens when we get pissed off.

Not that I'm for the idea of public executions, but don't they already see westernized civilizations (in particular, the US, UK, & Israel) as evil?

Do you remember that Scot we English executed back in the early 14th century? And look what happened after that. :rolleyes: Ok, so seriously. Don't give people martyrs, you will be shooting yourself in the foot. You can continue to live in the only country in the civilised world that executes its criminals and the rest of that world will continue to take the moral high ground and look down on you for it. State execution is more costly ($) than life imprisonment. It is purely collective revenge to make unaffected people feel better, and that is sicker than the reason these guys are trying to kill us.

Do you remember that Scott Aye! 'er Wallace! [sorry couldn't resist :-) love the book & the movie] State execution is more costly ($) than life imprisonment. Really? Got any figures? It is purely collective revenge to make unaffected people feel better It's definitely more than that. The state and the District Attorney's office use it as a bargaining chip often: "Tell us where the other bodies are." "What's in it for me?" "We'll take the death penalty off the table, 25 years to life." "I buried them under David Wulff's mail box." You get the picture. I don't really subscribe to the whole "deterrent" theory, but it is most certainly useful as a DA bargaining chip. Further, for purposeful murders, death is the only just retribution, IMO. Question is (for me, at least), do we hand out a full retribution or something seemingly less just, such as lifetime imprisonment? As a believer in Christ, I lean towards the latter, as Jesus pardoned people sentenced to death by the Law. It's hard to say though, I'm not sure Jesus would pardon all of our criminals, more likely only the ones that were truely repentant, and who's to say which of our criminals are repentant?

I'm not sure I understand. Executing a murderer or a mass murderer in public would mean we are evil, as opposed to private execution or lifetime imprisonment?

Well I can imagine it would make a good reality show :sigh: besides, I think in context of Ray's "death, on tv, so thier compatriots can see what happens when we get pissed off." Does it sound like justice? It sounds more like revenge and some sick demonstration of power (in this context IMHO) to me... To sum it up: Public execution to show them what happen when we get pissed of - WRONG. Execution (or lifetime imprisonment) as commanded by law - RIGHT. Do you understand me better now? btw can somebody finally move this to soapbox? I don't think this is a topic for lounge. David

What is the difference between that and what they think of us now anyway?

yes, they think. Now they would see it in our TV. I think that would serve them better then their propaganda. Besides, I am not into execution just to show them something (as you basicaly said). David
