Gibson of the Day

Moving the goalposts is one thing. Playing a different game after halftime is another. Then there’s John Gibson, for whom no sports analogy is appropriate.

At the risk of opening this wound again and having the Democrat and liberal blogs flay me again, let me say a bit more about what I think about the shooting of the innocent man in the London subway during the recent London bomb scare.

I thought I’d said it a few times, but I’ll repeat it.

Shooting an innocent man is wrong. The London cops shouldn’t have done it.

Additionally, the London cops shouldn’t have lied about why they suspected him of being one of the bombers. The story they told the first day is looking more and more like it was false in every detail.

That’s bad.

So this is a complete whiff on justice and law enforcement. Wrong guy, innocent guy, dead guy. Strike three — London cops out.

However, I still stand by my statement that if the London cops — and by that I mean these special anti-terror units — do have a real bomber in their sights, I think they are going to have to shoot him.

Bombers set off their bombs with the movement of a finger. Just putting two fingers together is enough to detonate.

So what are we supposed to do? Ask them to put down their bomb and kindly stand trial for terrorism?

Seriously, all you people blaming me for the innocent young man getting shot because I approve of the tactic, what is your alternative?

Yes, quite.

I have to admit, I laughed out loud for about three minutes after I read this.

Shorter John Gibson: If the situation were entirely different the police might have been justified, so stop yapping at me, you liberal bastards.
