Lebell... I don't neccessarily disagree with what you say. I am just trying to add some balance to the discussion that was leaning towards villifying the vicitim of this tragedy.
I am suggesting that...
none of this went through his head as he chose his outerware for the day.
None of this went through his head as he chose to take public transit.
None of this went through his head as he chose to run.
It is easy to sit back and make a judgement as some have done, hind sight is 20/20 and all that. But none of us were in his shoes or knew what he was thinking. The leap to normalize what happened and shake our heads that this, while terrible, was just what happens when someone does, "X" is a little too clean and tidy.
Question:
If the trailing police thought he was such a threat to public safety, why did they wait until he got to the tube before stopping him? Why not surround him on the street where there was less chance a chase in a crowded tube station?
There were "fuck ups" on BOTH sides of the equation.
