|

He would have been shot if he had asked them to keep their voices down, take their glasses to the bar, sit down, stand up or move along quietly at closing time, the cigarette was incidental, he was shot because he 'disrespected' them.

So much for the ban saving lives

By:
About time we brought back the death penalty.
|
|
By:
yeah agreed, just saying that was the incident that triggered it.

Ive always been someone who has stood up to louts and done the decent thing, on the grounds that I can out run someone in the event they pulled out a knife.
But a gun - any idiot can pull a trigger. Will just keep quiet now, let the louts rule, and stick to nice areas that are less "edgy" |

By:
Shocking, poor bloke, what motivates these people?
|
|
By:
tho if there was no smoking ban he'd still be alive....

hav they caught the 3 who ran away? ================================= ..the 3 coloured gentlemen are alleged to have shouted after the shooting "He showed us no respect"........... |
|
By:
Apparently he was doing the bouncers a favour, he didn't even work there.
|
|
By:
yeah went round for a chat.
|
|
By:
the 3 coloured gentlemen
ok radio--never said that |
|
By:
How the hell did they manage to get a shooter into a nightclub, ffs?
|
|
By:
Reading between the lines the bouncers were wary of them and probably didn't want to search them.
|
|
By:
wasnt a night/club---a pub
|
|
By:
Oh I thought it happened in a club
|
|
By:
I just dont know why I wasted so many years being hard, when some idiot could just shoot me one day
|

By:
It was a club

Was out for a family meal last week, 6 couples in a restaurant / bar. Afterwards my brother in law went outside to get a cab and bumped into a guy he worked with. The guy said ' C'mon let's have it ' and lumped my Brother in law in the face, splitting him just above his eye which needed a load of stitches. Bouncers did nothing, just watched. Was right on their doorstep too.

I hope that he will repay this guy as he knows who he is!

A former British heavyweight boxer who was shot in the head during a row at a bar has died after his life support machine was switched off.
James Oyebola, 47, was shot at the back of Chateau 6 in Fulham Road, south-west London, in the early hours of Monday, after asking customers to stop smoking. Police said he died at 1239 BST after his life-support was switched off. Family and friends were at his bedside. |

I wonder how Patricia Hewitt feels tonight..........?
|
|
By:
Why is it that these idiots who mouth off about "respect" or being shown no respect are clueless to the meaning of the very word.
If they didn't have a gun the boxer would have had the upper hand. I cant stand violence, but no one has a chance against a gun. |
|
By:
You would think you have no chance, but if you're good enough it's not really true. It's hard to pull a gun and hit somebody before they get to you. Different if it's in the hand, but not always.
I know a guy who will take any number on, he's a doorman in places nobody else will do, and he's had guns pulled on him twice. Once he took the gun out of the hand, another time he just went forward into six of them. He knew the guy wouldn't shoot. But he is very skilled and totally nuts as well. |
|
By:
these guys shot him as they were walking out the door. didn't stand much of a chance

That's terrible news PD. He's the first (and probably won't be the last) victim of a ridiculous new law. I wonder how good that makes the non-smoking lobby feel? My reply yesterday when Poppydog told me the news James wasn't expected to survive. |
|
By:
Anyvbody caught carrying a gun should be locked up for 30 years. End of.
|
|
By:
or have the choice of chemical castration
|
|
By:
Why should the non-smoking lobby feel anything? The law will not be changed over this.

For 08.
Doctors at Charing Cross Hospital had declared Mr Oyebola brain dead on Thursday. Police said he was shot after asking three men to stop smoking in a covered courtyard area at the back of the bar, on the Fulham Road. Police believe three black suspects, aged between 19 and 25, ran from the club in separate directions. Officers from Operation Trident, which deals with gun violence within the black community, have searched three addresses in the Wandsworth area in connection with the shooting. . RIP James Oyebola. |
|
By:
These** would have shot him whatever he had been asking them. They just needed the excuse. Hope that one of the has the guts to come forward and that they are locked up for life.
|
|
By:
Boopster they wont come forwards because they don't have the moral fibre to do that.
They are cowards thats why they were carrying a gun. When they do get found, let them rot. |
|
By:
The point is, he probably wouldn't have spoken to them at all if it hadn't been for the smoking ban. Thus, he wouldn't have been shot.
|
|
By:
I've lost a friend this way. The horror of guns is that some fool can shoot once out of bravado and if you're unlucky that's it.
That's why 5 years for carrying one is a joke. RIP to the guy. |
|
By:
Tommy - maybe, but it's possible that they did it to cause trouble & had it not been smoking would have probably done something else.
|
|
By:
That's pure speculation, boopster.
The facts are; he asked them to stop smoking because of the new law - and lost his life because of it. |
|
By:
can't believe the smokers are trying to use this incident against the smoking ban. Disgusting.
