    He'll learn!!!

    The Brazilian man shot dead by police in south London, who mistook him for a suicide bomber, had been in Britain on an out-of-date visa, officials say.

    Jean Charles de Menezes, 27, may have run from police because of his visa situation, BBC correspondents say.

    The electrician had come to the UK on a student visa, which allows people to work for a small number of hours.

    Relatives of Mr Menezes are considering suing over the Stockwell Tube shooting, saying police will have "to pay".

    don't really think

    they've a case, because, he was illegally staying in the country, refused to stop when confronted by police officers and ran on to a tube train in the current climate. What were the police supposed to do, let him go?

    And mine, really don't see what choice they had. And the five shots in the head has been explained by a couple of people who seem to know what they're talking about.
