In case anybody is wondering, the UK murdered a Brazilian man on the train with several bullets to the head after they explicitly identified him as a suspect and authorized his takedown. He had no ties to terrorism at all.

- Andrew_Quentin 13y agoIt was a mistake in all the confusion right after 7/7 bombing of London tubes. Tragic, but completely understandable.
