Jean Charles de Menezes

It looks like the British police killed a Brazilian electrician with no known connections to Islam.

Like I said.
There was a clip on our news the other night. The cops had chased a guy in a car finally stopping him and pinning his car to a guard rail with a cruiser.
The guy goes out the passenger window, drops 15 feet to the grass, runs across the grass to a high chain link fence and climbs over it.
So now the chase starts again. They got him but tied up considerable manpower for some time.
They had a clear shot when he was climbing the fence...should have taken it.

I do appreciate the fact that they are looking into. When NYPD cops shot a man 41 times in 1999, before there were issues of bombings, and without any immediate danger to the public, the response was business as usual.

hmmm..

Documents and photographs leaked to ITV News also confirmed that Mr de Menezes did not run from the police, as had been reported, had used his Tube pass to enter the station, rather than vault the barrier, and had taken a seat on the train before being grabbed by an officer.

He was wearing a light denim jacket and not as previously reported a padded coat which could have concealed explosives.

In British Cambridge Evening News, Bruce Lait, a survivor of the 7/7 says the bomb was UNDER his train (London’s Aldgate East) because the hole was coming out the floor.
Another witness, Mark Honigsbaum, said the same in the Guardian.

Members of the British 9/11 Truth Campaign (http://www.nineeleven.co.uk/) have checked on chronology of the 7/7 and conclued that the official one's is impossible.
The 4 terrorists taken in picture couldn't reach King’s Cross station on time.
