maybe he was just some dude running from the police because he was an illegal immigrant. he chose the wrong day to run away from police.

maybe he just had alot of unpaid parking takes...

maybe he had just had a dream last night about being shot while fleeing...

maybe maybe...

facts are, some ahole terrorists have been blowing up in public transportation places, he decides to wear a heavy coat in the middle of summer that has wires sticking out of it, the police ask him to stop and he runs...

if he is not a terrorist he is the stupidest man alive and I for one am glad that the gene pool is a little cleaner now.

The shooting took place about 10 a.m., when jittery commuters spotted a man, who witnesses said appeared to be a South Asian, wearing a padded coat in the Stockwell subway station in south London. Police chased him into a subway car, pinned him to the ground and shot him in the head and torso, an eyewitness said.

He said it was unlikely that the two groups of bombers ever communicated, saying they were likely part of a "molecular" structure in which separate groups take orders from the same leader but are unaware of one another.

Does he mean a "cell" system? I've never heard it refered to as a molecular structure...

Anyways, some ppl said he had stuff strapped to him, while others said he just had a big coat. Of course witness accounts are often unreliable.

NO TICKET! If he wasn't a terrorist, he was still skipped out on his fare.

LOL - Nice Indiana Jones reference. But we all know the punishment for NO TICKET is throwing the passenger from a derigible.

i heard that on the news today. i cannot for the life of me understand why in the world someone would be wearing a heavy coat in the summer, run from police and jump a turnstyle when ordered to stop.

it is really sad for him... i wonder why he acted like that.

The police officiers were probaly in plain clothes. I would run too if men armed with guns were chasing me. The coat was obviously a very bad idea.

Not sure if you know about the way Police in the UK handle guns - but there are very few trained armed police members I there is someone with hand gun here - it is 99.9999% likely that they are either armed forced or part of a rapid responce armed police unit - have to treid to obtain a gun or for that matter bring one into the UK???

The connection the UK intelligence was that the flat he USED to live in was linked to one of the second bombers
