Bearing in mind armed police units take an average of 35 minutes to respond to incidentsin London, why the delay?

4 Hours

It took 4 hours for the team of excited killers to arrive all the way from Herefordshire, home of SRR – Special Reconnaisance Regiment (eyes, ears & trailing) and their trigger men (either SAS or similar)to arrive in south London to execute him.

And the journey time from Herefordshire to Stockwell?
Hmmm, let me guess.

Justice 4 Jean.

Daniel Obachike – July 21st 2005

There was another power-cut localised to our block in Old Street. Being more or less lunchtime a bunch of us decided to take an extended lunch break and were all sitting in The Litten Tree pub around the corner when ‘breaking news’ flashed across the TV screen reporting 4 explosions going off around London. Bearing in mind what I’d been caught-up in a fortnight before, plus the fact most of my colleagues were well into their second pint by then, the reports were met with quizzical looks and a certain amount of glee on the back of a succession of jovial terror-related quips, of which I formed the butt.

But the following day it was announced that a suspect had been shot dead by police gunmen. Immediately, I was not surprised. Nor was I surprised when it later transpired that it had been a completely innocent man later identified as Jean Charles de Menezes. The logic for the ‘failed suicide attacks’ and the authorities seemingly haphazard yet iron-fisted response did not become apparent to me until late January 2006, after my interrogation with an Anti-Terrorist branch detective. It was something he alluded to in passing, that the attacks on 21:7 had thrown awry a carefully laid ‘operational response’ to the 7:7 attacks 2 weeks earlier.

He said that although the attacks were devoid of explosions, they disrupted the investigation into the 7:7 bombings forcing the re-assignment of many of the investigating detectives.
The execution of De Menezes also sent a message to any sympathisers or protesters. A signal saying ‘This is what you’ll get, the same treatment as someone with a primed bomb strapped to their explosive vest.’ So there lay Jean Charles after his killers fired the requisite number of additional shots into his skull and spine, vis-a-vis Kratos. After some high-level denials and lies intended to mislead the public, later reports claimed de Menezes’s excecution was due to his big black coat being ‘mistaken for a suicide bomber’ as it had wires hanging out.

A mistake??? A big puffy coat??? Ain’t Britain great?? So democratic and diverse. Justice For Jean!
