The Guardian Article is : Mark Duggan was shot after raising weapon, firearms officer tells court

A firearms officer has said that
Mark Duggan had been shot after raising a weapon at police, but said he had omitted this fact from the first statement he made about the incident.

A firearms officer has said that Mark Duggan had been shot after raising a weapon at police, but said he had omitted this fact from the first statement he made about the incident.
The shooting of Duggan on 4 August 2011 in Tottenham, north London, triggered riots that spread across the capital and to other cities across the country.
The firearms officer was giving evidence at the trial of the man accused of supplying the gun to Duggan.
The accused, Kevin Hutchinson-Foster, denies handing over the gun just 15 minutes before Duggan was confronted by police and shot.

A jury at Snaresbrook crown court in east London heard the firearms officer, known as W70, give a dramatic and detailed account of the shooting from behind a screen.
W70 told the jury Duggan raised a handgun and was shot, falling to the ground as officers surrounded him after having forced a taxi he was travelling in to stop.

Hutchinson-Foster's barrister, Stuart Denney QC, asked W70 about the fact that his initial "short-form" report of the shooting did not mention Duggan raising a gun. However, this was mentioned in a fuller report made 48 hours later.


Denney asked: "Would it be entirely incorrect to suggest that you left out details such as that until you and your brother officers could check you were all singing from the same hymn sheet?"





The SUN Article is : Duggan's gun supply man guilty



                         Rex Features (2012)


Kevin Hutchinson-Foster, 30, was convicted at  the Old Bailey today of passing the firearm to Duggan following a retrial.
Duggan, 29, collected the BBM Bruni Model 92 handgun just 15 minutes before he was shot dead on August 4, 2011, the court heard.
His death in Tottenham, north London, led to violent riots across the capital and nationwide.
Hutchinson-Foster had denied a charge of "selling or transferring a prohibited firearm" to Mr Duggan between July 28 and August 5, 2011.
But a jury of seven women and five men convicted him by majority verdict after a jury at Snaresbrook Crown Court last year failed to reach a verdict.
Police had put Duggan under surveillance as they "believed he was intent on exacting revenge on another man for the earlier murder of his cousin".

1- Should the death penalty exist as a punishment for murder or terrorism ?


Today murder or terrorism is the biggest crime in the world and the death penalty is good for them because

they killed the acquited people.BBC (2000)  'A major study of capital punishment recently suggested that

more than two-thirds of convictions in the US are so flawed that they are overturned on appeal'.




2- Should the main purpose of prison be punishment or rehabilitation ?
It should be rehabilitation due to some of them had the wrong guidance in there life .Benson (2003) "Prisoners were encouraged to develop occupational skills and to resolve psychological problems--such as substance abuse or aggression--that might interfere with their reintegration into society."



3- What is the best way to deal with juvenile crime such as * joy-riding ?
* vandalism ?

In my opinion the best way is the several day they need to stay in prison.




4- Is it ever right for political acivists o break the law ?No, because if they break the law they Contradict themselves

6- Which is the more serious problem in your country - tax evasion or social security fraud ?

In my country tax evasion is the more serious problem.






7- Should the police have the right to stop and search you in the street without a warrant ?No they shouldnt because people do not like this and sometimes it becomes very bad.




8- Should the law respect the rights of homeless people to squat in unoccupied property or shop doorways ?They dont have the right to live in other people property because its private. The governments should give them jobs to get home or give them places to live in .







9- Should smoking cannabis be a criminal offence ?It should because their negative impact on the people who use it they become addicted and they can die.

                                                                       London Riots

I don't know anything about the London Riots, but I think when rioters don't like something about their lives they protest against the government or something, and they try to change governments or people`s ideas. They use banners, loud voices and they fight with the police for their protest. It is very bad for other people because sometimes riots damage their workplace or shopping places.

Why did the riots happen?
  



Alison Saunders (2011), Chief Crown Prosecutor for London, suggest "Their actions terrified innocent members of the public and they left a trail of destruction in their path.
When the government creates some wrong ideas for its people, those people can start to protest against these ideas. It is very bad for a considerable number of people because it looks likes terror.The judge Tom Carter (2011) said: "It was a year ago today you were involved in the mob criminality that so disturbed the law-abiding public. When they start to fight with police, it is very bad for other people because they damage a considerable number of workplaces, cars and homes. When they fight a substantial number of people can bruise and some people can die. Shapps (2011) said "If someone has traveled for those riots, then the fact you have committed it in the next-door borough or somewhere else should count equally."
