   BBC LVI: IT'S ALWAYS WHITEY'S FAULT   
   15 Dec 04 19:10:48   
   
   From: POIUYTREWQ@ASDFGHJKL.COM   
      
   BBC London news today covering the shooting by police of Derek Bennett who   
   was holding a relica pistol.   
      
   The inquest concluded 'lawful killing'. BBC clearly didn't like that. No   
   interview with anyone but a black BBC Reporter who opined--opining is   
   something BBC Reporters are often doing I note--that there must be a new way   
   for the police to handle mentally ill people with replica guns. Hmm, like   
   what, I thought, mindreading? Ouiji Board?   
   That Derek Bennett had been rampaging round the streets of Brixton behaving   
   in a psychotic state with the replica gun, that Derek Bennett WAS HOLDING   
   THAT REPLICA PISTOL TO SOMEONE'S HEAD when the police arrived was NOT   
   MENTIONED BY THE BBC. Not, indeed, by his brother outside the court who was   
   saying it was all a conspiracy of 'the British Establishment, that always   
   looks after its own.'   
      
   Now, I ask the assembled Guardian readers and 'Hey look, I'm nice' lefties   
   here: if someone you knew did what Derek Bennett did and got popped, would   
   you want two inquests? And what do you think about the inflammatory BBC   
   reporting: do you think this is what the corporation is for?
