Do they have to use that stupid word? (It’s earlier in the article.)
Ynet has eyewitness accounts, plus video, of the shooting of the terrorist. Doubtless the BBC won’t show this one on the news, what with all the highly offended Brits calling in for their daring to show (can’t really see much) the death of the first terrorist.
There’s nothing shocking in this video. Just puffs of smoke and gunshots. But this label is much, much better:
The camera then shifts to a religious man who is asked for his name by the photographer. The man replies “Yaki Asael” and the photographer replies “Yaki, you were the first one to fire. Way to go.” Asael gives the thumbs up signal and walks away modestly, without taking credit for shooting the terrorist.
Officer Ganem, who is Druze, said later that as opposed to the previous bulldozer attack he refrained from climbing on the vehicle and instead fired from several feet away. “The lesson from the previous attack was not to mount the bulldozer…I improved my position and fired at him,” he said.
“After I fired and saw that he was neutralized, I attempted to open the bulldozer’s doors, but apparently the terrorist also learned some lessons from the previous attack and locked the doors,” Ganem added. “I then mounted the bulldozer, broke the windshield, and opened the door. I saw that he was no longer alive, so I didn’t fire again.”
Once again, an armed populace is a safer populace. Proof positive that guns save lives.
Yaki, the guy who killed this bulldozer terrorist, was the high school teacher of Moshe, who killed the first bulldozer terrorist. Moshe is the brother-in-law of David, who killed the Mercaz HaRav Terrorist.
Small world.
