Not funny! And neither were you Bill. Police generally wear stab jackets (not bullet proof vests) in these instances. Why he wasn't wearing one, why there were 3 guys in the building and not one as was expected and why the attack took place some time after police and immigrations entered the building, I'm sure will come to light in due course.
Oh and you notice it was a _stabbing_ by suspected terrorists (who are all alive and not shot to pieces) and not a mass shoot-out as it would _probably_ have been in the US. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Davis" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Community" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, January 15, 2003 3:34 PM Subject: RE: Knives 1 - Guns 0 > I'm pretty sure he died because a thin sliver of steel repeatedly > pierced his vital organs. > > Jim Davis > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Mike Townend [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > Sent: Wednesday, January 15, 2003 9:43 AM > > To: CF-Community > > Subject: RE: Knives 1 - Guns 0 > > > > > > Nope...
