I'm reeling here, as I've just seen an illustration of Lawrence's words that
has knocked me back: it was the BBC Panorama programme, which included a
narration of the last day on earth of one Harry Stanley, who made the
terrible mistake of dropping into a pub for a glass of LEMONADE.
Unfortunately, he was also carrying a chair-leg in a plastic bag, and had a
Scots accent, so someone in the pub, he was a stranger there, phoned up the
police and told them a man with an +Irish+ accent carrying a sawn-off
shotgun had just been in.
Harry got home, got out of his car, and was gunned down in the street by two
Metropolitan police officers, yards from his front door, where his wife was
cooking dinner. One shot blew off the fingers on one hand, the second went
through his temple.
There has been no public outcry, no discipline for the policemen, not even a
letter of apology to Harry's widow.
Jhesu Christi!
