No shit, sherlock.

Or if a policeman is telling you to stop.....

And don't jump the turnstiles!

the "BCLU" is gonna go ballistic over that "look a bit foreign" part.

OT. test drove a toyota prius today. it's one of the funniest looking cars i've ever seen but based on the reported mpg while i drove it, i think it'll easily do the 50+ mpg advertised.

Oh and refrain from jumping the turnstiles.

Dang earth2moonbat! get out of my head!

Probably ought to have a Spanish language version, like we would.
Brazilians speak Portuguese, though, do they not?

This has been a Public Service Announcement.

or look a bit foreign

heh.

You could add: "or smelling bad and talking funny".

British slang can be really wierd sometimes.

Related to the Bombing aftermath . . .

I'm trying to notify other Bloggers of a request made by the UK Police not to publish pictures obtained by ABC News of unexploded bombs discovered in a car in Luton. It can interfere with or damage their investigation into the bombing.

"the "BCLU" is gonna go ballistic over that "look a bit foreign" part."

I agree but saying "or look like a grey haired old lady" probably won't be any use to anyone. Hehehe.
They really do have an obligation to warn those that could be harmed if the rules of common sense are not followed.

Look a bit foreign?

Which bit?

Thats common sense. But I guess common sense is in short suplly these days.

Kirly re: OT
They never get the advertised. Having said that the hybrids are the way to go until a full hydrogen car is available. (IMHO) I own a Civic hybrid gets about 40 mpg. 36 since I havbeen runnung AC non stop.

The naughty bits, of course.

If this is accurate, there may be hope. I do not know one single person who is against profiling of "middle-eastern" 20-30 year old men. Especially those with backpacks or rucksacks.

This is slightly OT but since there is no open or dead thread yet....

I just wrote a letter to the editor to my local newspaper, the Jerusalem Post. Not much new there - I do that all the time. But I wanted to share it with you even if it's not published because I think there's a lesson here in how the MSM manipulates the news by giving us less than full disclosure. I cc'ed Charles on the letter, and he can choose to do whatever he wants with it:

******

Sirs,

The report by the "US-based Strategic Assessments Initiative," which found that the Palestinian security forces are "insufficiently armed," (PA plans next move in Gaza after pullout, July 28) allows the Palestinians to blame Israel - again - for their own shortcomings.

If Abu Mazen would disarm the terrorist groups as he has committed himself to doing, the Palestinians would have more than sufficient arms to police the Palestinian Authority.

It's time for the world to stop letting the Palestinians get away with blaming Israel and to make them accountable for their own actions. The Strategic Assessments Initiative report is a step backwards from accountability.

-- Carl
Jerusalem

P.S. This is too long a topic for a 500-word letter to the editor but if you look at SAI's web site, SAI is anything but the neutral organization you imply that it is. I'm cc'ing Caroline Glick on this in the hope that she might build on it for a future column. But here are two examples:

Amjad Atallah

Amjad Atallah is founder and President of Strategic Assessments Initiative, a not-for-profit organization committed to providing legal and policy assistance to parties involved in negotiations in conflict and postconflict situations....

For the past three years before Mr. Atallah founded SAI, he advised the Palestinian negotiating team, and later Palestinian Prime Minister Abbas’ office, in peace negotiations with Israel on the issues of international borders, security, and constitutional issues. He was also responsible for liaising with US government officials in Washington, D.C. on these issues. He was responsible for coordinating Palestinian cooperation with the Sharm El-Sheikh Fact Finding Committee (the Mitchell Commission), the General Zinni and Secretary of State Powell missions, and was heavily involved in discussions pertaining to the Quartet “Roadmap”, including monitoring mechanisms and other forms of third party involvement. Mr. Atallah lived and worked in Ramallah, in the Occupied West Bank, for two years during the recent conflict and has recently been stationed in Washington, D.C.

Jarat Chopra

Jarat Chopra was "Legal Counsel for Palestine, International Court of Justice Advisory Opinion on Legal Consequences of the Construction of a Wall in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (Dec 2003-Mar 2004)."

*****

Most of the other members of SAI's "Board of Directors" have similar backgrounds. I did not see a single name there that I recognized as having any positive connection with Israel.

SAI is clearly a "pro-Palestinian" organization with an agenda. Presenting their report as fair and unbiased (and I know you weren't the only ones who did it - there was a similar article in the New York Times) is misleading. But it would take a much longer article than a letter to the editor to correct the misimpression.

******

Comments anyone?

"A car previous to the hybrid was a 77 Chevy Impala. Land Yacht. Between the leaking oil and the horible mileage..wow. The hybrid is penence(sp?)."

Don't tell me you're the guy that drives down the highway laying a black smoke screen a WWII destroyer would be proud of.

My current isn't much better. I needed to buy a van for my business and it gets slightly better mileage than a Saturn V rocket.

I really do want to get a car that will save me some $ at the pump but when I look at some of them... They would be crushed in an accident. I feel better having a lot of metal in front of me.

I saw something similar to this coming out of Canary Wharf station a few months ago. It read...

"Please mind your bags especially, if you are of middle eastern descent."

I asked one of the attendents and it was a real announcement.

You have to remember that our friends the Brits are not as badly infected with the PC bug... yet.

That is sad to see...I am beginning to worry because it is a Thursday.

On a different subject: Polygamy no fun, admits Ethiopian

An Ethiopian man with 11 wives and 77 children is urging people not to follow his example and is giving advice on family planning and contraception.

After seeing his fortune disappear under the competing demands of his enormous family, Ayattu Nure, 56, even urges people not to get married.

"I want my children to be farmers but I have no land, I want them to go to school but I have no money," he says.

But his eldest son has not heeded Mr Ayattu's advice and he has three wives........

Take a look at him...he looks so old and soooo tired! :)

We'll never know..those robes cover everything...when he wears them!

In the 'this is totally insane' category, after the London bombings, we see this: Anger as Shankill bomber is released

One of the most notorious IRA killers of the Northern Ireland troubles was released from prison last night in a move designed to appease republicans on the eve of an expected statement from the terrorist groups.

Sean Kelly, the Shankill bomber who killed nine innocent people in 1993 when he blew up a fishmongers, walked out of prison as the horse-trading leading up to the IRA statement began in earnest.

IRA killer Sean Kelly on his release on licence in July 2000
Kelly's original sentence had been cut short when he was one of the prisoners released on licence as part of the 1998 Good Friday Agreement.

Last month, he was re-arrested on the orders of Peter Hain, the Northern Ireland Secretary, because it was suspected that he had become involved in terrorism once more.

His incarceration angered republicans, who have campaigned for him to be set free while the British and Irish Governments waited for the IRA's response to Gerry Adams's call for an end to the armed struggle.

But the release, which appeared to have taken place without being referred to the Sentence Review Commission, outraged unionists who claimed that it had been choreographed to pave the way for the IRA's declaration, expected today.

Jeffrey Donaldson, an MP for Ian Paisley's Democratic Unionist Party, said: "This was clearly and purely politically motivated by the Secretary of State who had reason to return Kelly to prison a few weeks ago.

"What then has changed? It's because the IRA is expected to make a statement.....

What will they do when they have all 4 or 5 failed homicide bombers in custody,give them a reality TV show?

Haven't they learned anything?

#29 Apollo11:

No kidding. I just finished reading "Around the World in 80 Days." When Phileas Fogg and party passed through Utah, "where polygamy is practiced by many," a man jumped on the train as it pulled away from the station.

I am assured that this is a real image, not a Photoshop remix.

I'm surprised no one has addressed the obvious here. It may not be a Photoshop job, but there's no reassurance that the sign itself wasn't fake to begin with. The following phrase especially set off my alarm bells:

or look a bit foreign

C'mon, think about it: would an official London Underground notice say "look a bit foreign." No way. That's absurd. The multi-culti PC euphemism police would simply never allow such a phrase in an official notice.

Since this was sent to Charles presumably by an anti-idiotarian, one should probably assume that the person who took the picture is not the same person who made the sign.

Instead, my theory is:

1. A British moonbat pilfered or somehow copied a blank official London Underground notice sheet.

2. As a "think-I'm-so-clever" piece of hoaxery, created a fake sign that purported to be from the LU management.

3. The hoaxer then surreptitiously placed the fake sign in a real tube station where passengers could see it.

4. Charles' friend-of-a-friend saw the sign and in all innocence thought it was real and took a picture.

5. The picture gets sent to Charles and posted here.

I have extremely attuned hoax-detecting skills, and can spot a fake from a mile off. The tone of the writing of this notice, and the understated left-slanted humor, is exactly the kind of thing a British moonbat would come up with.

Of course, I may be proven to be wrong, but until I see any additional evidence, I'm sticking by my theory. (If the LU later apologizes about the sign, naturally I'll abandon my notion. But for now I doubt that will happen.)

You are not a terrorist, and I would never equate anyone who is Irish with the IRA; this is very different than what is going on with the cult of islam..they are a threat to the world. BTW, I was caught up in an IRA raid in London. That is why, after 7/07, and last week, it is such a shock to see this happen. It sends an awful message to the homicide bombers in training and their accomplices.

I have a feeling that the Catholics in Ulster are not pleased, either.

I don't find this at all funny, given that a person who was entirely innocent, had broken no laws and done nothing wrong was tackeld by plainclothes policemen and shot several times in the back of the head while he was being restrained on the ground. The review may well determine that the officers acted appropriately, but the way some people are making light of shooting foreign-looking people is just sick, in my opinion.

Thanks Zombie, I have had my doubts too since I first saw it late yesterday.

There is a news site that has the picture posted.
I'll see if I can find it again.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one thinking that.

How about a sign reading 'please DO run on the platforms especially if you are an islamofascist cos you deserve to get shot and we'd love an excuse'

Of course, if a similar sign appeared in Israel the BBC would indignantly impute evil motives. The double standard is revolting.

Too bad, so sad, life sucks. And if the cops hadn't dropped him, and he went on to kill a few more Tube passengers, we'd be hearing all over the place how the London bobbies didn't do their job, the same way we're still hearing about the FBI and the CIA dropping the ball before 9/11.

Stop being perpetually offended. Or, get used to having no credibility.

There are responsibilities in living, yes living in civilized society. WE all might have to sacrifice for the greater good.
For example, I don't liek being pulled out of line in foreign airports and having my dirty clothes (fold-over bag) bein looked at. BUT as a single male pax travelling alone...I am a "possibility".

Regarding the tube notice---
"Mind the GAP" ...

#43
The duty and responsibility of Police Officers is to protect the citizens.

The man should have stopped for the officers. He should have stopped.

If he had been a bomb carrying terrorist -- and they hadn't shot him . . . then you would be wondering why the officers didn't use deadly force -- and crying because the terrorist had killed innocent people.

He should have stopped.

The officers did the right thing.

#43

Its called a sense of humor. Get one.

PatHMV,

Hold a ballpoint pen in your hand like it was an icepick, with the button under your thumb. Tell me, just how much freedom of movement do you need to click it? Now, imagine that it was a detonator. Given what the cops in the Tube knew at the time, that this guy (a) had come from a building under surveillance, (b) was dressed inapropriately for the weather in clothes suitable for concealing a bomb vest, then (c) ran when the cops ID themselves & ordered him to stop, and (d) was hauling ass to the train that was part of the system that (e) had been unsuccessfully attacked the day before, they did exactly the right thing. It's certainly tragic, but given what could have happened had they not shot and had been wrong...

I call B.S. -- It looks like a Photoshop job to me.

#43 PatHMV:
I agree...
I think it's quite stupid that the police followed the suspect to a crowded place before they captured him.His death was mostly the fault of hesitation and political correctness.
What happened to the Brazillian guy is exactly like politics in Europe will unfold :Hesitating, following, waiting...until drastic measures are necessary.
BTW :that's definetally not an official sign.
An official sign will read: please refrain from bad looks towards muslims especially if you look a bit foreign (white).
If you do not follow this rule you will be kicked in the nutsack and we won't be losing sleep over it.
-Red Ken & Co-

#43 PatHMV

I don't find this at all funny, given that a person who was entirely innocent,

I thought there was still some question as to the entirety of the dead man's innocence. Has there been some sort of Mea Culpa by the police yet? Admittedly, I have not kept up with the story either.

And while certainly tragic if he is innocent, there is a lesson to be learned about the times we live in, as is learned everytime terror occurs on greater scale.

# 55 scooter mcgruder 
I call B.S. -- It looks like a Photoshop job to me.

Check out my comment #38 above, before coming to any final opinions. To me, the photo itself looks completely real. You are right to smell a hoax, but what is fake is the object being photographed. Photoshop jobs have a different patina to them -- it's very hard to fake that out-of-focus grainy look.

You are correctly reacting to something feeling "wrong" in the picture, but it is not a computer-manipulated image -- the hoax was entirely handmade.

The cops had to shoot him in the head - it's the only way to assure a suspect won't detonate a bomb even while trying to restrain him.

And if you think this thread is "sick" - you ought to hear how doctors or cops joke around amongst themselves...you're one uptight little cookie.

It might be a hoax, but it occurs to me that if it is, it's also fair warning. They don't want to have to actually shoot any more innocent people.

WASHINGTON, July 27 /PRNewswire/ -- On Thursday, July 28, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) will hold a news conference at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., to release a fatwa (Islamic religious ruling) against terrorism and extremism. The fatwa is being issued by the Fiqh Council of North America (FCNA) and endorsed by major U.S. Muslim groups.
Representatives of the Fiqh Council, an association of Islamic legal scholars that interprets Muslim religious law, and leaders of several leading American Muslim organizations will take part in the news conference. (The term "fiqh" refers to Islamic jurisprudence.)

WHAT: Release of Fatwa Against Terror and Extremism/Release of CAIR Radio

You're wrong.

The guy decided to do a runner into a tube station, when cops came up to him.

Turns out he was running because he was staying in the UK illegally (despite the Beeb's claims to the the contrary).

The cops couldn't know that. With the attempted bombings the day before, they sure couldn't take any chances and thus, the guy sadly died.

Basically though, that would be his own fault for not stopping when approached by the police.

That's all there is to it. Sad and regrettable, yes, but the guy's own fault.

#67 ether
Look for empty words, no real condemnation, at least one attack each on Israeli and U.S. policy, and the use of "but".

It could well be authentic. Those boards are in the lobby to each underground station. They are maintained by the current on shift staff, and I've seen humourous / sarcastic comments on them several times in the past. It's also quite common for the tube drivers to make amusing comments on the intercom system. What is certain is that the notice is not intended to be at all serious, and is as much a jibe at the police as anything else.

#72 Golden Jerusalem
At the very least, guilty of terminal stupidity (gratuitous pun included).
Someone needs to find out if the runner had reproduced. He may be eligible for a Darwin Award.

Actually, it refers to the name of Bela Lugosi's character in White Zombie. Then there's all those 70's cop shows that opened with some narrator going "Tonight's Episode: A Midsummer Night's- MURDER!" or "...A diagnosis of MURDER!" and "...Never Take a Wooden MURDER!", etcetera. On the contrary, I'd say that the word MURDER is a laugh riot.

Now there's a curious term- laugh riot. What mental image does it evoke? Frequently, during riots, there are numerous murders. So the term laugh riot should send you into a lather, too.

Then again, you could always loosen up. Recognize that the world is a dark, cruel and horrid place (and unfit for sacred cows of any kind), and laugh at it all just the same.

Oops! I thought this was a DEAD THREAD! Get it? Dead? Murder?...

#38 / #58 Zombie

I agree completely with your belief that this notice was a hoax, almost certainly an attempt at satire by one of the usual suspects. Wouldn't be difficult; in these troubled times, notice-boards with hastily-written announcements are all too prevalent on the Tube, and all he would need would be a felt pen and an air of authority.

However, there is one other possibilty: the staff on the Underground get a little frisky from time to time and create spoof announcements for the benefit of travellers. This could - just possibly - be one of them.

Tehran wants UN reform:

The Islamic Ummah (community) must not be silent in the current debate on reform of the United Nations. Failure to secure a permanent seat on the UN Security Council for a Muslim country would be a missed opportunity of colossal proportions.

...

The Islamic world should seek at least three permanent Security Council seats.

It goes on to state (wrongly) that there are 1.5 billion Muslims.

So when does the Vatican get a permanent "Catholic" seat?

But laugh riot is two words. You have no other way of recalling a reference, (whether to '70's cop shows or whatever), with just the one word. I appreciate gallows humor and sarcasm as much as the next guy, but there is no way to laugh at that word alone. Its not a matter of lightening up. Help the rest of us. Add another word to it that will help us instantly refer to something else.
I know that this is an open and anonymous forum, but c'mon. Work with us.

A bit of British History:
`On learning of this glorious, gallant and unparalleled action, members of both houses of the British Parliament rose in unison to pay homage to the great Indian soldiers. Each one of the 21 soldiers was posthumously awarded the Indian Order of Merit, the highest British gallantry award then given to Indian (equivalent to the Victoria Cross awarded to the British).

The story of this epic battle is taught to school children in France and is one of the eight stories of collective bravery published by UNESCO.

Iran confirmed for the first time Wednesday that it has fully developed solid fuel technology in producing missiles, a major breakthrough that increases the accuracy of missiles hitting targets.

Defense Minister Ali Shamkhani told The Associated Press that Iran has made an "important step forward" in developing the technology, which provides the Islamic Republic with the ability to fire solid-fuel engine ballistic missiles like the Shahab-3.

The Shahab-3, with a range of 1,300 kilometers (810 miles) to more than 1,930 kilometers (1,200 miles), is capable of carrying a nuclear warhead and reaching Israel and U.S. forces in the Middle East.
