"Traces of cocaine were found in Jean Charles de Menezes which may have made him act unusually before he was shot dead by firearms officers, a court heard today."
The biggest problem with taking this approach in attempting to justify the execution of Jean Charles is that there is absolutely no evidence whatsoever that JCdM did act unusually before he was executed
Nope, in spite of two years of shameful, state-sanctioned smears that de Menezes had a dodgy visa, was a wanted rapist and, now, a druggie…
...in spite of the crooked eye-witness testimonies, the magically self-erasing platform CCTV tapes, the magically non-existent house surveillance tapes, the doctored surveillance logs and all the other lies and bullshit…
the police have offered absolutely no evidence that Jean Charles did anything to invite having seven bullets pumped into his head
As fellow Conspiraloon™ Paul commented -
I thought the 'asking for it' defence had gone the way of the dodo...
On top of that, Jean Charles had no coke in his bloodstream anyway. The traces that were found were in his urine not his blood. The blood test for cocaine was reported as being ‘below detectable levels’ which in honest English, an increasingly rare commodity, means that none was found.
So, no, there’s fuck all possibility that the coke traces found in JCdM’s corpse had anything to do with his execution. They do however serve a very useful establishment purpose – as illustrated by a discarded copy of the Daily Star I saw fluttering outside the Oval tube station this afternoon…
Right now pride is what I feel – in our government, in our senior police officers and in our Great British Press

But, wait, the Stockwell Shooting court case has just thrown up even more reason to burst with pride…
Apparently, the composite picture of Jean Charles de Menezes and wanted 21/7 bombless 'bomber' Hussain Osman, released by the Metropolitan Police to show how similar the two men looked, was manipulated to make de Menezes look more like Osman than he really did...
Well, fuck me
And it’s taken people two years to realise that?
Actually, it didn’t. It’s only being discussed now because the suggestion was made as part of the court case. The fact that the picture may have been doctored prior to release is being reported as being a surprise
?!!
So, presumably, if there hadn’t been a court case no-one in the mainstream press would have thought twice about it
Of course the picture was fucking doctored
One of the many, many scary aspects of the shooting in Stockwell is the fact that, apparently, the super-professional, highly trained observers acting as spotters for London-based state execution squads can’t even spot the rather obvious differences between East Africans (sometimes referred to as 'skinnies'), Latinos (rarely referred to as 'skinnies') or even Mongolians
or maybe they can

I was speaking with a friend of mine earlier today who lives in Brazil and gave him the latest updates.
Of course, he was disgusted at the 'coke' and 'manipulation of photos' bit.
He did say though 'of course you would use dum-dums, if you knew it was a suicide bomb'.
Well yes, but they already knew he was not - thatz the point.
yes, you would use dum dums
but nine of them?
with a pause in the middle?
but, yes, they did already know he wasn't and that *is* the point
Utter bastards. Cold blooded murdering bastards. They're not even trying to cover this one up.
I'm surprised the defence hasn't pointed out that brazilians are much more used to being shot by policeman.
Part of their culture, like
Menezes' behaviour 'contributed to his death'
But not as much as 7 dumdums
Northern Rock, now 16 billion.
"The behaviours that were described - the nervousness, agitation, the sending of messages, the telephone, getting on and off the bus, added to the picture of someone potentially intent on causing an explosion."
...or someone trying, along with thousands of other people, to get to work and finding out that his local tube station is closed
It's also worth noting that she chose the form of words 'behaviours that were described'. Classy..

It's a time like these that I think back to words of insightful wisdom uttered by General William 'Westy' Westmoreland back in 1974...
The Oriental doesn't put the same high price on life as does a Westerner. Life is plentiful. Life is cheap in the Orient.

But I shouldn't be laughing. I should be rolling obviously highly dangerous indian tuppaware barrels full of even more dangerous chapatti flour in the direction of what used to be known as "parliament".
Who will join me?
I've got a Masters of the Universe sandwich box and an old A-Z with some suspicious scribbles on the inside cover. Will they do?
