It would have to be a Non-Flash Mob to avoid dazzling drivers and other
staff with hundreds of camera flashes.

Must be one of the offers you have to send off for - you'd never get
it
in the packet.

Haven't you seen the new miniature 'Tibettes', they'd fit

Because they would just close the station on safety grounds
(overcrowding) before even half the people managed to get in.

And they'd probably take an even harder line against enthusiasts - even to
the extent of an all-out ban? I fear such a stunt could backfire with
disastrous results.

Hmm, well maybe if it was a crowd of unarmed teenagers with their backs to
him and he had a gun he would have a chance...

If they were also trespassing on his property with an intent to commit
further crimes and the police had abdicated from their responsibility to
protect said property then you would be correct...

If you're that short of useful things to do, I've got a shed needs painting.

The principle of mobbing is that there is no point to it - if there was a
motive, it wouldn't be mobbing.

I see a Pink, White, Blue and White Shed with Gold 'F's over it

If Tony Martin had been attacked by these people he would have got away

it.

Take it somewhere more relevent, please. This is uk.railway and
uk.transport.london, not uk.letsdiscusstonymartin, no matter how interesting
the debate. I'll leave you to choose a more appropriate group!

FU: alt.dev.null

In uk.railway Richard twisted the electrons to say:
If he had fired anywhere other than straight along at body height (as
anyone who has ever picked up a gun knows is incredibly dangerous) he
would probably have got away with it.

Maybe he should've taken the advice of a (IIRC) New Zealand Chief
Constable who said if you had to shoot someone who broke into your house
the very next thing you should do was fire a shot into the ceiling/floor
so you can claim you fired a warning shot ...

Of course, in certain US states I believe you don't want to fire a warning
shot as legally that is taken to show that you where not out of options
short of lethal force.

He didn't, he shot two people in the back, killing one of them.

Well at least one of them won't be repeat offending then, and maybe the
other one will think twice before "breaking & entering" again ... Yeah,
unlikely I know ... :-(
