Paris (again)

Horrific. I don’t often agree with Scara but, regardless of state of mind of killer, this would appear to have been carried out in the name of religion

more people have died in the name of religion than any other cause
 
Horrific. Terrorists should be automatically shot by the police. Ask questions later.
It would appear that's what's happened.
Exactly. Instead, in this country we arrest them, give them £100k legal aid to prove how misunderstood they are, then spend 30 years and a million pounds pandering to them and trying to prevent them brainwashing every other prisoner they come into contact with.
 
If I was armed response and turned up to see a man beheaded in the street and a terrorist screaming Allah Akbar I’m pretty sure I’d shoot to kill. Not much point in spending millions to try and understand why he did it. It’s obvious.

Except the last two terrorist attacks in London have seen the perpetrators shot dead in the street.
 
The armed police are trained that, if they regard the suspect as a threat to anyone’s life and they decide to open fire, they shoot to kill. There is no such thing as “shooting to wound or incapacitate”. That’s what tasers are for.

You have a source for any of that nonsense?
 
Terrible tragedy and I have no time for religious headcases, however, if reports are to be believed, this teacher was 'teaching' kids about Mohammed using images.
Now why on earth would he be doing that, knowing the dangers?
 
Because we shouldn't have to change the fundamentals of our secular society because a bronze age religion breeds barbarians.

They have to accept freedom of expression, we do not have to and will not regress to society being influenced by people brainwashed since birth.

Thats a fair answer.
Must say though, I think this kind of thing should remain outside the classroom.
 
It’s common knowledge that armed police shoot with the expectation that they will kill. They say it is impossible to intend to “shoot to wound” with certainty, so if they fire expect the suspect to die. I can’t think why I respond to your stupidity.

Wrong.

The primary intention of the police, when discharging a firearm, is to prevent an immediate threat to life by shooting to stop the subject from carrying out their intended or threatened course of action.

Shoot to stop, not shoot to kill.
 
No, you are wrong. The very next sentence is...

In most circumstances this is achieved by aiming to strike the central body mass (ie, the torso) and is known as a ‘conventional shot’.

The torso... you know, where the heart, lungs, and central aorta are located. Any of which if hit will likely prove fatal. Therefore, if the police shoot they expect it is probable that the target may die. The lucky survive.

They shoot at the torso simply because it is the largest target and will most likely knock over the target and head shots may miss. Unless of course, the shooter is six inches away in the case of Jean Charles de Menezes. I have had enough of this morbid argument. It’s pathetic.

Good to see the French public come out in respect for him and free speech. No religion should be free of criticism. No matter what.
