Mistakes led to tube shooting (execution more like it)

Posted by on August 17, 2005

The stories Mistakes Led to Tube Shooting and Leak disputes Menezes death story are very disturbing considering the first news reports said that Jean Charles De Menezes was running and wearing a heavy overcoat when he was shot seven times in the head and once in the shoulder. It appears now that De Menezes was only wearing a denim jacket, and was restrained in a tube (subway) car before he was shot. At this point, it appears that the family of De Menezes should win a huge settlement from the British government, and Scotland Yard has a huge embarrassment on its hands.
