JUSTICE FOR HARRY STANLEY
Yesterday, Harry Stanley's death at the hands of police ‘marksmen’ was ruled to be an unlawful killing - after a five-year campaign by his family. The Scottish grandfather was mistaken for 'an Irishman carrying a shotgun.' In fact, he was carrying a newly mended coffee table leg.
Police originally claimed they opened fire because Stanley had deliberately sought to make out that the table leg he was carrying was a gun, cradling it to his body. However, an inquest into Stanley’s death in June 2002 heard forensic evidence that he was facing away from the police when he was shot.
Now the police are said to be ‘angry’. Reports say “about 20 Metropolitan Police firearms officers have handed in their weapons in protest at the suspension of two colleagues over a fatal shooting.”
What the fuck are they angry about? Read report here.
But what about the desperate Al-Qaeda threat? Won’t they invade us when they hear?
