The guy was pissed out of his head, waving a loaded shotgun out of the window and had already fired a couple at the Police. He's a serious life threatening danger to both the Police & public. I really don't know what else the Police could have done other than blow him away.

If he was a scrote from the East End of London rather than a gushed up Chelsea Barrister who went to Oxford would there be all this fuss ?

Waste of time.... they should have shot him sooner :rolleyes:

I agree - five hour stand off he was getting drunker all the time, there should have been a quick decision to slot him earlier and let the neighbourhood get back to normality.

agreed, when he was leaning out the door posing for cameras they could have had him then.. how is it that ordinary working people in the uk have guns?

Anyone can own a gun in the UK (after a criminal check)..... I keep a few in case I get attacked by those pesky wabbits :D
