The facts as I know them:
1. He was wearing a heavy padded coat (during the summer).
2. He failed to stop when the police asked him to stop.
3. British police have been given authorization to shoot to kill since shortly after 7/7.
4. He came out of a house that was under police observation.
5. I've heard nothing about his nationality.
Last, I really wish you'd get off the "Blood for Oil" thing Ric. Oil/Gas is more expensive now than its been any time in the past. The arguement does not make any sense.
