1) Why did these guys mount the sidewalk and hit this guy first? Was he a target? Did they already know him or was this random?
2) So they killed him in a terrible manner in broad daylight in a public place. Why? Why not bundle him into the car and do it elsewhere?
3) After the event they hung around? Why? They stayed at the scene for a full 20 minutes.
4) The 48yo woman who spoke to them to try to calm them down went to great lengths to explain in her statement that the were not drugged or drunk, like she was pre-empting that question.
5) The police took 20 minutes to arrive, and those that did arrive first were heavily armed. HOW?! WHY?! London is always crawling with (unarmed) police - why were no patrol/beat police on the scene first? This to me is the biggest question.
6) Armed police are stringently trained to shoot as an absolute last resort. Yes, the killers rushed them, but I am more surprised that an armed unit appeared first.
7) London absolutely bristles with CCTV cameras. BRISTLES! Where is that footage?
8) In the video, the killer speaks with a clear British accent (if he was not born in the UK, he was most certainly raised there), yet he talks about 'his country'.

No, because that thread focuses on possible tampering of the video to make it look like he had more blood on his hands, where as I am asking broader questions about the event overall.

There are a whole host of odd things about this event including the video we have so far been shown.
There is a witness speaking on camera who's account of the events differ from the 'official' story. The witness states that the 'killers' WALKED to the police car when it arrived and they immediately got out and shot both men. The media are telling us that they 'ran' toward the police cars 'wielding their weapons'.
That witness states that it was his friends mother who sat next to the body, and in his own words "she tried to 'comfort' the man on the ground". Tell me this. How in the hell do you 'comfort' someone who's head is supposedly hanging off ?
There is a great deal to be addressed regarding this incident and so far things don't add up.
I tried to find the interview online again but haven't so far. I'll link it when i find it.edit on 24-5-2013 by sayzaar because: (no reason given)

Yeah... you make some good points, except #8.
Do you honestly think the government is going to release CCTV footage of a soldier who had his head whacked off? The only people who would be willing to watch it are the weirdos like me who frequent websites like Ogrish and Liveleak.

It was outside a barracks, the guy was wearing a help the heros t-shirt, people in the services are quite easy to distinguish from others....to me at least so i assume others also see it
2) So they killed him in a terrible manner in broad daylight in a public place. Why? Why not bundle him into the car and do it elsewhere?
They wanted to become martyrs for their cause, they wanted as much publicity as possible...hence asking people to film and picture them
3) After the event they hung around? Why? They stayed at the scene for a full 20 minutes.
Same as number 2, they wanted to be killed by the police, it makes them martyrs to their cause.
4) The 48yo woman who spoke to them to try to calm them down went to great lengths to explain in her statement that the were not drugged or drunk, like she was pre-empting that question.
They are questions only witnesses could answer, and fairly relevant.
5) The police took 20 minutes to arrive, and those that did arrive first were heavily armed. HOW?! WHY?! London is always crawling with (unarmed) police - why were no patrol/beat police on the scene first? This to me is the biggest question.
Why were they armed?? ARE YOU JOKING!!!? One of the guys had a gun...and they both just hacked a man to death in the public view...why send beat bobbies to a potentially dangerous scene? Once the police know someone has a gun the only officers permitted to approach are armed police...makes sense to most of us. Do you really think an unarmed officer would have fared well with the attackers? Im pretty sure they would have been told not to approach the scene and wait for the armed units.
6) Armed police are stringently trained to shoot as an absolute last resort. Yes, the killers rushed them, but I am more surprised that an armed unit appeared first.
You are silly if you think the commanders, sergeants and people coordinating the police would send unarmed police to armed, dangerous crime scene. They just killed a man in a terrible brutal way, no way would anyone in the higher ranks of the police put their officers in danger knowing the situation.
7) London absolutely bristles with CCTV cameras. BRISTLES! Where is that footage?
Its a day after ffs! And you arent entitled to it anyway. What makes you think you are entitled to the footage before its analyzed by the police???
8) In the video, the killer speaks with a clear British accent (if he was not born in the UK, he was most certainly raised there), yet he talks about 'his country'.
AND?? whats that got to do with anything? He is talking about his "people"....muslims. His homeland refers to islamic nations. He refers to the ongoing war in afghanistan, but he is not afghani. He is a brainwashed psycho who believes what he did was justified.
Stop with this bs!!! Its deeply offending, and just makes you lot look like idiots. Everything is a conspiracy, there are no real nutters out there, they are all actors...grow up!!
