punishable with the death penalty these days.....
1) He was connected to the bombings from the day before (name/address found in remains)
2) He left a building under surveilance for potential terrorist activity
3) He had a big, bulky jacket on a warm summer day
4) The police said "Stop, armed police" at which point he looked over his shoulder then bolted into the station
5) He tried to get on the train
Given all of this, don't you think it would be a reasonable precaution to assume the bulk under his jacket could've been a bomb?
You'd have to be monumentally stupid to presume it's not a bomb and then have a 9th terrorist incident within just over a week occur..."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Because were he arrested, especially given his connection, there's a good chance he'd have ended up in a maximum security British prison, with no access to lawyers, no trial, nothing but a life of indefinite imprisonment. That doesn't make running away the right thing for him to have done, but it makes it a little understandable.Originally posted by Asher
Why would an innocent man behave like he did, given what happened just the day before?
The answer is, while he didn't have a bomb:Comment

And in the end, it doesn't matter why he did it. He ran from armed police who had very good reason to believe he was a terrorist with a bomb. Go figure -- he was killed before any potential device could be exploded."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Detonation would have killed the people apprehending the bomber, which is enough for my point to stand... but it's a crap point anyway so let's move onOriginally posted by BlackCat
It is true that the Israelis has captured some suicide bombers, but unless I'm totally wrong, they have all been captured at checkpoints where a detonation of the bomb wouldn't have killed others.

Then why did you ask why he would run, you numbskull?Originally posted by Asher

There's a difference between justifying something and explaining why someone may have made the wrong decision. In your case, you're justifying the muder of an innocent man- in my case, I'm reasoning why someone may have made the wrong decision.Comment

Clearly, running away from the cops was stupid, but that doesn't mean he deserved to die.
From the eyewitnesses I heard I got the impression they were already on top of him when they shot him. How could they not have simply handcuffed him? Unless they were expecting him to detonate the presumed bomb with his mind, as MarkG aptly put it.
Mark Whitby certainly got his 15 minutes of fame though.

Which is as likely as him having the detonator linked up to a device that goes off if his heart stops beating. What, don't look at me like that, I saw it in a Steven Segal movie once!!Comment

He is not an innocent man. Innocent men do not run from police who shout "Stop, armed police".Originally posted by Gibsie

The very act itself makes him non-innocent, by definition.

I think running from cops who think you're about to be the 9th bomber in a week to try to maim hundreds of civilians, you do deserve to die as a precaution. Thems the breaks...Originally posted by Mercator

Will you please stop posting statements I just have to agree with ?With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.
