Hundreds of relatives and friends of a Brazilian shot to death in London after being mistaken for a terrorist marched along the cobblestone streets of his hometown Monday, demanding the arrest of the British police who fired the fatal shots.

Some of the protesters held banners denouncing British police as the real terrorists; other placards were adorned with snapshots of Jean Charles de Menezes, urging British Prime Minister Tony Blair to send his body home so it can be buried.

All said Blair's apology did not go far enough.

"Apologies don't help, we want justice," they chanted, stopping briefly to offer a prayer for the 27-year-old electrician who left Brazil to work in Britain so he could return home with enough savings to start a cattle ranch.

1. Not going to happen

Brown people are not entitled to justice. Didn't 800+ years of British Imperialism and 100+ years of American imperialism teach them nothing?

Your lives are worthless. You are sub-human. We are God's chosen and have the weapons to back it up (at least until the oil runs out).

2. Good for them. Accountability is all that they are asking for.

A man lost his life in a brutal and vicious way. He was hunted down like a dog. It really is unforgivable.


Peace.
