(UK) Woolwich Incident: Two Men Shot By Police After Man...'Hacked to Death’ By Machetes
Metro UK News ^ | Wednesday, May 22, 2013

A man wearing a Help For Heroes T-shirt has reportedly been hacked to death by two machete-wielding assailants in broad daylight in south-east London.

The two knifemen are understood to have been shot by armed police, although Scotland Yard will still only confirm officers had been called to reports of ‘an assault’ on John Wilson Street at around 2.20pm.

Eyewitness James Heneghan told LBC 97.3 he and his wife had witnessed two men hacking at a third with two large kitchen knives.

‘We saw the whole incident,’ he said fighting back tears. ‘They were hacking at this poor guy, hacking him, chopping him.’

Mr Heneghan claimed one of the suspects had pointed a gun at his wife before they jumped back into his car and called the police.

He went on to claim that after the men had attacked the victim they dragged him into the middle of the street ‘like a piece of meat’.

A group of women then rushed to the victim to shield him from further attacks, Mr Heneghan continued, as the two knifemen stopped a passing bus and encouraged passengers to take pictures of them while they posed with their knives.

Woolwich and Greenwich MP Nick Raynsford said that he understood the victim to be a serving soldier from Woolwich Barracks.

‘I’ll be talking to everyone who is involved, we will be trying to do everything possible to try and ensure calm in the area. People will be very, very shocked,’ he told BBC Radio 5 Live.

‘We think a serving soldier was the victim. We don’t know the circumstances surrounding the incident.

‘We do know a number of weapons have been seized. They include a gun, various knives, and a machete, apparently.

They are arguing that now, but currently no. You can carry in the capitol building. Not in courtrooms or other government offices that are posted.

I dont need any time to answer at all. Check your bible and tell me where it says we return hate for hate. We are to be as wise as serpents, not be serpents ourselves.

“I dont need any time to answer at all.”

Of course not, because you don’t have to think!

You have a lot in common with the Islamic scum; your fetishization of a religious book would fit right in with these unthinking worshippers.

You think I didnt have to study to come to that conclusion? That's one heck of a supposition! Did your idea come fully formed in your mind, thought up by detailed analysis, reason and rationial thought? Or are you perhaps parroting the right wing press?

You have a lot more in common with the islamists than I do. Your snarky comments, vengefulness, hatred and bitterness go right along with them.

I confess to the charge of snarkiness, although I absolutely cannot recall any Islamist restricting himself to mere bloodless snark, as contrasted with holy book affirmations and bloodshed.

Oh its a cult of rules and regulations and "good works" all right. They're trying to pull themselves into heaven by their own bootlaces, which never works of course. They dont have any of the Christian hangups about the motives and intentions of God. To a muslim Allah is Allah, and his only true prophet is Mohammed, and his decrees are not to be questioned, under any circumstances. There are internal disputations about HOW some of the decrees are to be interpreted, but no muslim denies them.

That's the point of contention. A Christian does something because his understanding of God's will leads him to it, and if whatever it is doesnt work out, he collapses into a paroxym of doubt and self-examination. A Muslim does it because Allah commands him to do it, and that command in and of itself makes what he does right. That's why you cannot reason with Islamists.
