Exactly.

They tend to rupture matter. Go on, shoot a bomb with a anaesthetic bullet. Dare ya.

ok they didn't know at the time

but there was no bomb. and if there was one, it had no business being there. they could have picked him of the street long before he entered the subway.
in the given circumstances, could they have acted differently ? - no, i don't think so.
did they **** up ? - hell yes.
has somebody got to pay the price for **** ups like this ? - hell yes.
that's the way it goes.

and as for the use of tasers : in his home yes.
out on the street not surrounded by other people : yes
in a crowded subway : i don't think so.
but then again : shoot him 8 times ? frustration i say

his entire body was a bomb?

we can't discount the possibility he'd taken some kind of chemical that was flowing throughout his body and was storing an activator compound in his cheek, that if he had swallowed would have mixed with the chemical and made it explode, making him into a literal suicide bomber.

I think we probably can.

Doesn't matter if a country is safe, if it doesn't follow our line we'll put out a traveling advisory anyway and attack its tourism etc.
Pretty thuggish methodes, oh and completely without result except maybe for making your policies look even more foolish.
But as I said God seems to have an overdeveloped sense of irony

Thuggish? Honey, it's the height of subtlety and grace. Thuggish would be blowing up your capital.

Yep, cuz in reality they wouldn't miss. They'd be deliberately dropping bombs on a school full of children because the principal was a leader of Hamas.

No, but little else will stop a person from detonating a bomb. A taser may not work either, if he's holding the trigger when he get's hit, since he'll clench his fists. BOOM!

You seem to think that these bombs aren't made to go off easily. The Palestinian bombers have hand triggers. They carry it in their hand. All they have to do is squeeze. You might want to keep such things in mind.

Yes, but historically based. They dromped a bomb on a Hamas leader's house, and killed nine children. IIRC, they didn't get the leader.
