Oops, nothing but his padded winter coat, right?

You have any idea how hot it was on the London tube today?
Or at any day during the summer??


It was 70º F/22º C..........certainly warm for a padded coat but then again, if you are not feeling well...........

"``They pushed him onto the floor and unloaded five shots into him. He's dead,'' witness Mark Whitby told the British Broadcasting Corp. ``He looked like a cornered fox. He looked petrified.''

Whitby said the man didn't appear to have been carrying anything but said he was wearing a thick coat that looked padded."


smh.com.au

And if it was raining as its wont to do in London......70º may have felt like 60º. Oh wait.......that's way too rational or reasonable for you. You're right.....the paddings were bombs and he was ready to explode at any moment.

Bet you never travelled the tube in London.

At least ten times.....maybe more. Never thought to count.

I know you believe the news lies but this is what they are saying currently:

Man shot dead was not a bomber -Sky

Fri Jul 22, 2005 5:25 PM BST


LONDON (Reuters) - A man shot dead by police at a London Underground station on Friday was not one of the four bombers who tried to attack the city's transport system on Thursday, Sky Television reported citing security sources.

"This is what I am picking up from security sources that the man who was shot this morning at Stockwell tube wasn't one of those four bombers that police are hunting," Sky reporter Martin Brunt said.

A spokesman for London's Metropolitan Police said only: "the gentleman shot at Stockwell today has yet to be identified, so it would be impossible to link him to anything at this stage."

Police shot the man a day after four attempted bomb attacks in London and 15 days after bombers killed more than 50 people in the British capital.

Police said the shooting was part of an operation directly linked to an "anti-terrorist" probe.
