Shot the wrong guy, huh?

I hate it when that happens. Rob and others are reporting that the police shot the wrong guy.

Frankly, when I first heard that the Bobbys had shot someone, I was intrigued, because I didn't think they went heeled.

Lets review:

1) The guy knew English.
2) He was wearing a bulky overcoat in the Summer.
3) He was accosted by police and ran into the underground tube.
4) Police have recently had a rash of bombings in the underground tube.
5) The "pucker factor" of the police was probably high.
6) It doesn't take long for a suicide bomber to detonate himself and others.

There is a lesson here. If you are in a town that is having a rash of bombings and the police tell you to stop, then stop, dammit. You might live to see the day.

The cops have apologized, and sure as shit, someone is going to get sued. Momma will get a nice settlement, and maybe she should have taught her kids not to run inside.
