I'm sympathetic to the deceased's family. But it strikes me that if you assault a police vehicle with armed cops inside with the evident intent to do physical harm, you'd better be wearing a bulletproof vest. -Declan On Sat, Jul 21, 2001 at 01:15:27PM -0500, Jim Choate wrote:

That has yet to be proven. Simply tumping a vehicle over is not in and of itself 'intent to do physical harm'. You assume, without evidence, that the protestors even knew the van was occupied. Further, you assume that the protestor shot was actually involved. Further, you assume that the store the police stated is accurate. A lot of assumptions for somebody who is supposed to be unbiased as a journalist. (Of course we know you're neither) -- ____________________________________________________________________ Nature and Nature's laws lay hid in night: God said, "Let Tesla be", and all was light.

A close look at the Reuters photo sequence shows that these "assumptions" are in truth conclusions.

Actually no, they don't. All they show is a group of people turning a van over. As to addressing their 'intent', especially with respect to 'harming the cops' they say nothing. Photo's don't capture the mind. -- ____________________________________________________________________ Nature and Nature's laws lay hid in night: God said, "Let Tesla be", and all was light.

The victim was reportedly shot in the head.
