No hairy ankles. He liked the vintage 70's stuff.

Details emerging:

As three of the SEALs reached the top of the steps on the third floor, they saw bin Laden standing at the end of the hall. The Americans recognized him instantly, the officials said.

Bin Laden also saw them, dimly outlined in the dark house, and ducked into his room.

The three SEALs assumed he was going for a weapon, and one by one they rushed after him through the door, one official described.

Two women were in front of bin Laden, yelling and trying to protect him, two officials said. The first SEAL grabbed the two women and shoved them away, fearing they might be wearing suicide bomb vests, they said.

The SEAL behind him opened fire at bin Laden, putting one bullet in his chest, and one in his head.

It was over in a matter of seconds.

Back at the White House Situation Room, word was relayed that bin Laden had been found, signaled by the code word “Geronimo.” That was not bin Laden’s code name, but rather a representation of the letter “G.” Each step of the mission was labeled alphabetically, and “Geronimo” meant that the raiders had reached step “G,” the killing or capture of bin Laden, two officials said.

As the SEALs began photographing the body for identification, the raiders found an AK-47 rifle and a Russian-made Makarov pistol on a shelf by the door they’d just run through. Bin Laden hadn’t touched them.

They were among a handful of weapons that were removed to be inventoried.

So pretty much exactly how we thought it happened. If the scenario above is true, then I see no reason that he should not have been shot.

Based on the events as described above; I'd love to hear from the folks that would not have shot Bin Laden if they were in the place of the Navy Seals.

Who would those folks be? Surely you're not confusing such folks with people who wanted to make sure bin Laden was not executed after surrendering?

If that report is true, then I ain't got no beef. Good riddance.

Same people that flat out made up a scenario to argue about?

Who are you to say "good riddance"?
