minus-square ieatpillowtags ( @ieatpillowtags@lemm.ee ) linkfedilink1•7 months agoWhat was this? All I can find is the 2005 killing of an innocent man after the subway bombings.
minus-square Zworf ( @Zworf@beehaw.org ) linkfedilink5•edit-27 months agoIt was this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_of_Jean_Charles_de_Menezes . Probably the one you mentioned. Apparently he had some wires in his bag. He was an electronics geek, and he also looked similar to one of the terrorists apparently. Still, no reason to shoot him like they did of course.
