who's at fault in shooting incident?

I don't know if you read it already, its about the shooting of 15 year old kids by policemen, here's the latest on the story, its in The Star yesterday, the title says that Minor at fault in shooting incident, expert says

here's the link to full article

so here's what I think, the expert gave a believable reason that the cop did nothing wrong, and that the kid did drove a car even without a license, but that doesn't make it OK to shot someone, you will read in the report by the deceased's friend that the police shot the car while in chase, is that the real procedure in dealing with this kind of situation? aren't you suppose to stop the car without shooting..and shoot only after you have positive confirmation of a weapon or in self defense? BUT I'm no police..if this is the right way, than its obvious who's wrong, but if this is the wrong procedure, than we better rethink and redesign the whole procedure..

and the expert says the police are overwork and underpaid, it normal to make mistake, yeah I can take that, but saying that the police is underpaid, is like blaming the government..and the blame game continues...

there are 2 sides to this story, the deceased's friend's side, and the still-innocent-until-proven-guilty police officer's side, let us look back at the situation here, cause the official report is not out yet, and both the kid's friends and the police report contradict each other, let us review the reports

newspaper report said a police patrol shot a 15 year old kid for suspected of being a criminal, after the police asked them to stop, it also stated that a machete was found inside the car, and that the friend was took down and beaten because he threaten the police, and all the shots were fire because the car started to reverse towards the patrol car

while the kid's report stated that the there was no machete, and that the police beat him right after he gets out of the car, and that the police shot him while in pursuit, the car never reverse towards the police, and that the police never warn them about stopping

the newspaper reports and the friend's statement can be read here and here

so who's telling the truth? and who's to blame? it will take time before we know the truth, one thing we do know, is that a 15 year old kid, with a lot potential and endless possibility will not have the chance to grasp it..that we know

so after a long hiatus on this blog, I decided to try to write something, at least to keep me sane, hehehehehe...

so have you guys heard of the volcanic eruption in Iceland? yeah..never thought there would be any volcano there eh? as to me, studying geology tells me that the geology of Iceland is actually an island plump, much like Hawaii, except that the island situated above a rift (what?!)

to many contrary believe, Iceland is not just..well, ice, Iceland has numerous geothermal activities such as the hot geysers, which doesn't make any sense to call it "Iceland"..(wonder how there get the name Iceland in the first place?)

is it normal to have 9 volcanoes in 1 island? and that just the main one

anyway, on the weekend last week, a volcano name, Mount Eyjafjallajokull (yes, that is it's name, pronounce eija-fjatla-joe-kytl) erupted, causing major trouble to the people in Europe, the eruption causes airline in Europe to a halt, no in or out of the continent, which is pretty damn-pain-in-the-ass for thousands of people..but nothing can be done..

the mountain look pretty, if its not engulf in lava and toxic ashes

however, recent news, suggest, minimal airline travels are now allowed..but lets be realistic here, flying while there's a hot, sharp edges ashes that could potentially bring airplanes down? I DON''T THINK SO

but that's not the worse part, after the initial explosion has stop, toxic gas are now traveling across the continent which could harm all living things, especially cows, wait..no..humans..humans and cows..

see..told you cows are important too!

World Health Organization or WHO..has issued a statement that potential health respiratory danger could happen across Europe (man this isn't a good time to be in Europe)..

however, there is something good from all this chaos and probably potential life ending situation, great photos emerged from the explosion of the volcano! credits to this pages and more photos can be seen there, credits also to the people that risk their AWESOME life to get this pics

if you're a fan of Lord Of The Rings, doesn't this look like a scene from Mount Doom to you?

if it wasn't for the fact a volcano just erupted, this could be an awesome ad for a car tyre

can you see the lightning in there?awesome huh?
