Re: Rangers kill Innocent Man in Karachi

I guess everyone should be holding a video camera around while being on streets in Pakistan to be called innocent or to catch criminals :hmmm:

Re: Rangers kill Innocent Man in Karachi

That's not the issue. The issue is murder by people in uniform. Rangers personnel can not become the judge, the jury, and the executioner.

Re: Rangers kill Innocent Man in Karachi

Your post started off "I am wondering why ......" and I posted the reason, otherwise I agree that Rangers need to be taken to court, this is unacceptable behavior.

Re: Rangers kill Innocent Man in Karachi

Is it true that the guy had a toy gun in his hands/possession? ...because if that is true then it was very irresponsible of him. In USA, if cops stop you and you take out a toy gun, they will shoot you instantly.

Re: Rangers kill Innocent Man in Karachi

If he had the gun in his hand instead of that ranger fella - he would have done the same .... well as in the video you can clearly see him trying to get the hold of that G3 rifle before getting shot .

Re: Rangers kill Innocent Man in Karachi

:hehe: where did you get this from?

Lets not go overboard, the guy was begging the ranger to keep away the rifle, not trying to snatch.

Re: Rangers kill Innocent Man in Karachi

if he wanted to keep the distance - he would be backing off instead of trying to hold that bloody nozzle ... Criminals are always beggars once they get caught ...

when they dont even think twice killing people during their snatching endeavors - why should we bother about them ....

Re: Rangers kill Innocent Man in Karachi

wonder if there are many videos of the extra judicial killings that took place in karachi in the 90s.
To many everyone who was killed was some MQM goon..killed in an armed conflict.
sadly,many innocent ppl were killed, kidnapped for ransom and all kinds of crap but the crooks in the para military forces, while the rest of the paramilitary forces were focusing on ridding Karachi of the MQM ghunday. although I think even there many were killed in staged conflicts rather than being arrested and tossed in jail to face their crimes in front of a judge.

Re: Rangers kill Innocent Man in Karachi

I don't think just having a toy gun or a real gun is not the reason enough to shoot anyone. It merely means that such a person should be apprehended, if the gun is without license.
Cops can shoot only when the guy's intent is to shoot at cops. In this case, it was a plain murder. He was brought to rangers by other people, so obviously he was not in a position to threaten rangers.

Re: Rangers kill Innocent Man in Karachi

so can rangers be tried by 'bloody civilian' courts or do they have their own courts too?

94

Re: Rangers kill Innocent Man in Karachi

I am not justifying the murder in any ways. What I am saying is that its a very irresponsible attitude and even in USA could end up with similar consequences.

Re: Rangers kill Innocent Man in Karachi

Looks like the “upholders of justice”, our protectors (and tormentors), are threatening cameramen with dire (and illegally just) consequences:

A cameraman who recorded the shooting to death of an unarmed youngster by Rangers personnel received threats on Thursday from unknown callers, according to the organisation he works for and media houses and journalist bodies.

The cameraman of Awaz TV, a Sindhi news and entertainment channel, started receiving threatening calls on Thursday morning after the footage he had recorded was broadcast by almost all news channels.

“We informed Interior Minister Rehman Malik and officials of the Sindh government about the threat. Despite assurances about security given by them no measure has been taken to protect his life,” said Zaryab Khaskheli, the assistant news director of Awaz TV.

Re: Rangers kill Innocent Man in Karachi

The toy gun had already been wrestled away from him before he was handed over to the Rangers.
