One shot an unarmed man who had a gun close by fighting the war on crime

one shot a wounded man a insurgent gun close by. Fighting the war on terror

 

The out comes were totally different One in in jail away from his loved ones his name and honour in tatters

 

The other walked away Care to explain mr camron

One broke the Geneva convention, one was following police protocol. It's not that difficult to get ya head round GTE.

. Never asked that qestion. Unarmed man they knew he was an unarmed the shot him because he had been known to carry a gun and may be a threat. , marine blackmore shot the terrorist because he knew he would be a threat in the future , Just passing comment born and voicing my opinion

I'd dissagree, it's my understanding the police didn't know Duggan was unarmed. Otherwise they simply executed him. It's my understanding that the verdict of the trial was that the officer that killed Duggan acted under the belief Duggan presented an immediate threat to life. As such the shooting was legal.

 

Sgt. Blackman was under no immediate threat and simply executed the wounded insurgent. That's fine by me but is a startling difference in circumstances. He broke the rules of engagement and the Geneva Convention.

One was laying wounded and executed mate, the other was a known criminal who was believed to be armed with a gun.

It's a no brainer mate

That's cool mate, just giving my opinion too. I just don't see them as the same.

 

I've attached the e-petition to your pinned thread in support of Blackman. Hopefully people will continue to sign it and support him.

Hogun howe " were fighting a war on crime " Taking gun crime of the streets , we will continue to take action against criminals , not one police officer was shot at during this incident no gun was viewed by any police officer , the unnamed police officer made a judgement to shoot to kill on the presumption of the man in his sight had been linked to gun crime with his hands held in the air with a mobile phone in his hand the armed response officer fired , the man later died of injuries received

 

After several hours of sever gun battles and after weeks of patrols coming under gunfire and losing members of there platoon. Were body limbs had been hung in trees to provoke british soldiers , a british soldier shot a wounded insurgent Who in his opinion would pose a threat in the future , he died from gun shot wounds

 

Both incidents were filmed both were in my opinion justified , just one was dealt with in the wrong way

Only my opinion

You don't need to convince me GTE, I think the GC is flawed and I think our attitudes to war are unrealistic and as a result Blackman has been tried for a war crime when he should simply have been tried for breaking British Military protocol.

 

But the difference still remains, Blackman was under no immediate threat, he did not have to shoot the insurgent whereas the CO19 officer believed he/she was under immediate threat and had no option. JMO

. I dont disagree am just comparing two mens decisions and both were protecting there comrades thats all.

The insurgent had committed the crime of trying to kill marines.

 

The half caste had committed the crime of previously holding a pistol.

 

No comparison,the half caste should have gone to prison for a while,but didn't deserve to die for what he did that day whereas the insurgent got off lightly.

Funny as it may sound, I have less issue with the marines action than I do that of the police!
