truly horrible footage

bundle · 04/02/2008 22:09

there was a warning issued

ElfOnTheTopShelf · 04/02/2008 22:09

tend not to watch the news now, esp evening, too depressing and in-depth. I just watch Breakfast now

sherby · 04/02/2008 22:10

Hmm yes I just watched that.

I think they did say it would be graphic before they showed it. I didn't think it did look like his hand was going for the detonator tbh, he was already half dead fgs.

TrinityRhino · 04/02/2008 22:11

I am thought of as odd as I actually actively avoid any news programs

radio, telly, papers anything
I cannot cope with it

if there is anything that I need to know dh will tell me

PaulaYatesbiggestFan · 04/02/2008 22:11

ahhh bundle was there? i missed it - that's something
i found it reall sickening 'watch the police officer with his gun cocked'

why? becaause he is about to take a mans life at close range?

not nice

what is this all about anyhoo, what have I missed?

Thomcat · 04/02/2008 22:14

Yes they did issue a warning and told you what you'd see before they showed it.

PaulaYatesbiggestFan · 04/02/2008 22:14

yes sherby...

'suspected' bomber

half dead but 'moved his hand'

let's shoot him close range half a dozen times and show the world

he had bombs attached to his waists.. sorry!!

he wasn't there just having a picnic.

TrinityRhino · 04/02/2008 22:18

It isn't ever nice to see someone killed BUT he was trying to kill other people

he needs to be killed
the prisons are full
he wont give up his religious beliefs
what is left
he is a danger

Moomin · 04/02/2008 22:18

Which side? I was watching ITN ( by accident) and they froze the picture at the sound of the shots. Agree, though, still shocking

cali · 04/02/2008 22:20

stand by and watch him...

he was still able to move and in that instance you can not be sure that he would not have detonated the explosives strapped to his waist..

one potential suicide bomber shot dead or many innocent people blown up...

PaulaYatesbiggestFan · 04/02/2008 22:22

trained marksmen could have hurt him but not killed imo
call me naive

OP posts:
ElfOnTheTopShelf · 04/02/2008 22:22

Sorry - when was this and where?

cali · 04/02/2008 22:24

hurt people still have the ability to kill.
Unfortunately, the only way to ensure that he could not carry out his aim, was to kill him.
Brutal yes, necessary, yes

DontCallMeBaby · 04/02/2008 22:28

Sorry, Israel, Elf.

VeniVidiVickiQV · 04/02/2008 22:30

I agree - they didnt need to televise it.

Thomcat · 04/02/2008 22:31

He was already hurt, how else was the trained marksmen supposed to do, hurt him a bit more? He lifted his hand and it hovered right next to a belt full of explosives. Of course he had to be killed. One innocent woman had already been killed and many other people, paramedics etc could have died if the 2nd wounded man had been able to denote his belt. He was wearing it with the intention to kill and mame many people.

It was a horrendous piece of news but they did state that it was graphic.

I fail to find any sympathy or comment on the death of a suicide bomber, it is the most cowardly act known. I couldnt care less how he died and care more for the innocent people who would have been killed had this man carried out his act.

isthisunusual · 04/02/2008 22:34

agree he had to be killed. its sad that suicide bombers are back in israel but for the sake of several people the risk was just too great.

ElfOnTheTopShelf · 04/02/2008 22:34

(Thanks dontcallmebaby)
