The ramifications for British society provide many others.

Others suspected of being involved have been arrested. Not shot just in case .

Others involved were probably arrested by armed police in their own flats/houses, in which case they were unlikely to present an immediate threat to the safety of the public.

W$b??Dnotherlimey]You said it yourself - he was only considered a bomber once he ran towards the train. If he was considered one before that he would have been shot or at least challenged earlier.

No. He was considered involved. They followed him from his house.

I'm more worried about the other potential suicide bombers on the tube, and the fact that some of my friends have turned into right wing racists after July 7th.

Arresting them is just not an option on a city street.

A house which was under surveillance- he may well have been involved in someway (possibly innocently) he was an electrician.
But the minute he started running instead of stopping as ordered and leaping turnstiles it changed things- and when he jumped on a train full of people - he was going to be taken down. The police could not possibly take the chance that he may/or may not have been a suicide bomber at that point. We know now he wasnt, but he was dressed like one and in the heat of the moment- the public on that train had to be protected.

No again you are wrong....its not what you think I have a problem with........its you......yourself......not your ideas......your ideas are fine.....its the way you debate....its not debating...its trying to wear someone down to your way of thinking.......
So lets get it straight here and now...OK...
I don't want to change your mind......to how I think....
I don't want you too agree with me....
I just want you to stop trying very badly to twist what and say...
I just want you to UNDERSTAND that we only disagree on one point......
