How come the Report doesn't mention that the fellow shot at the Police?
Or was that Reader-Comment erroneous?

Seems the Article on Yahoo mentions that there was an exchange of Gunfire between him and police!
What idiot would take Shots at the Police?confused

Exactly Conrad,it's logical to presume that the Police were going to bring the incident to a swift conclusion. Why the Family chose to go on the rampage is beyond me. If he wasn't a violent person,why was he in possession of a gun.doh

This is true, the British police don't use guns without very good reason. It was the reaction which surprised me, it indicates a lot of unrest in those areas.

According to a debate on the TV this morning, the guy that was shot was a well known hell raiser in the community. He was wielding a gun in a barber shop just a day or so before. One nutter less by the sounds of it, and some rootin, tootin' darn good shootin'.

No different from anywhere else frankly. No disrespect to Americans but try walking through Washington D.C. at night. They won't I'm sure. Trouble spots are everywhere in large cities. London is no exception.

Or more likely,why did he fire at the Police?

So what is wrong with these people???!!!

Why are they rioting because a man was shot for shooting at police and possibly endangering other innocent life? Madness!!
