Someone once remarked that there's a disturbing knowledge of firearms on this board...

In that case we mean the same thing but are using different wordings. If I was asked to cock a semi auto pistol I would chamber a round as pulling the firing pin back when there is nothing in the chamber is rather pointless.


Amend my above staement from cocking the pistol to chambering a round for clarity.

As stated before guilty as sin

That is enough cocks now. Thank you.

Well unless he was using an old fasioned six shooter he must have cocked it. All semi auto modern pistols need to be cocked to put a bullet in the chamber. Considering it also had a silencer on it it stands to reason that it was most likely a modern semi-automatic pistol.

And I can't wait until i get Jury Service, the scummy chav is going down, GUILTY AS SIN!!!!!

That's chambering a shell, cocking a pistol usually involves pulling the hammer back... unless it's DA, when you can just pull the (very heavy) trigger...

And yes, things have moved on since the colt 1911 which was a single action auto.

So he said he didnt mean to fire the gun. Tough tulip. You go out with a gun and you use it even though you didnt mean to makes you guilty as sin in my eyes.

If you didnt mean to use it why did you carry it with you. If a police marksmen had shot this guy he wouldnt have been allowed back on duty by saying he didnt mean to shoot him.

He should be shot if you ask me.

I say let the guy go. He showed more bollox than the guy that started this thread and we need people in this world that are not afraid to act on their emotions.

As you said if police can kill innocents, innocents can also kill.

I must agree with John there, nobody had mentioned ethnicity until you brought it into the argument. The only mentions by other people about ethnicity is to say it is not an issue or to give examples of crimes that could have been classified as racist but were not.

At no point has anybody said that the death of Damilola Taylor was not tragic or wrong, just that it got more media hype than the murder of a white teenager on the same day.

Chill SA, we may have differences of opinion but I feel you are taking this one far too personally and reading far more into it than is meant by the various posters.

ok

Because you're using his death to talk about race.

No, you dragged race into a discussion about murder

[SallyAnne]

It's getting a little too heavy for 'General'. Can we move this to 'Light Relief' and chill out a bit...

I know, sorry.

My piss is at an all time boiling high!

I'm not talking about this anymore.

These guys are from London. What were they doing in Bradford? Was it a crimewave tour of the UK?

[John Galt]

OK - I'm sorry for that, but you are the first person on his board who has genuinely annoyed me with your comments.


Of course age has something to do with it - if there are 2 murders in one day, the media will pick up on the most horrific. The younger the victim, the more horrific the crime. And an axe to the head is probably also more horrific than the fat of the other young lad I'm guessing.

I cant beleive you'd use Damilola Taylor as an argument about something on this board. I just find that utterly disgusting.

Why?

[SallyAnne]

I really don't think there's any need to resort to abuse. He was a teenager whose only crime was to ask the murderer not to throw chips at his girlfriend.
And what difference does the age of the victim make - murder is murder and the crime is just as bad whatever the colour of the victim. Unfortunately people like you assume racism when none is there.

How old was the other person that was murdered that day?

EDIT: I doubt very much that he was a school kid who had his head axed, you utter cock.
