The assymetric time-bomb

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6356931.stm

'IPCC commissioner Deborah Glass said: "I've concluded that the police were right to take no chances with public safety. But they were wrong not to have planned better for the intelligence being wrong."

'...She added: "None of this should minimise the deep and understandable sense of grievance felt by all those affected by what must have been a terrifying experience."'

We are going to die in a gloopy sea of understanding. 'Planning for the intelligence to be wrong?' Who does that? In which bonkers universe do you plan your anti-terrorism operations so that in case you get the wrong people by mistake, everybody shakes hands and goes away smiling? You would never ever do that! Not if you weren't shitting yourself in the first place because you thought 'community relations' or some other made-up PR concept was at risk...

In my experience, innocent people don't mind being arrested, even with a gun pointed at their heads. Thats because they have the knowledge of their own innocence to keep them happy. Very few times have innocent people ever gone completely berserk because they were arrested by mistake (rather than imprisoned by mistake, a totally different scenario). People who start campaigns against their wrongful arrest are animated by a vigourous political ideology that wants to make the Police look as evil and brutal as possible. These two beardy twats are very obviously Muslim firebrands, and the fact that no evidence for bomb-materials was found does not mean they are not intent on making bombs. And they are using their arrest to try to humiliate the Police and the authorities to the greatest extent possible, revealing their hatred of our society.

For how much longer will ordinary Britons tolerate this extremely assymetric situation, where the majority and the institutions of state are seemingly at the mercy of fascistic religious fanatics who know how to turn our civil protections and legal systems into weapons against us?
