Rather than the presence of uniformed soldiers being treated as a preventive against jihadist violence, it is now understood to be a provocation.
This is what happens to a state that is UNDER OCCUPATION. The jihadists can wear their "uniforms" without any prohibition - full Shariah compliant physical appearance, and socially enforced hijabs for the women - and can impose their force without sanction against their community at large. But the occupied state's domestic police and military are now even more limited in what they can do.
I totally agree that this is akin to being under occupation. Maybe non-Muslims should avoid going outside of their homes.
Muslim scum just doing what the liberals wish they had the nerve to do.
The Brits are insane.
Soldiers should be able move about freely, in uniform, with firearms at the ready.
Common sense would be to issue hand guns to the soldiers, not slink away into civilian clothes.
Bizarre how the first cops on the scene were unarmed and had to wait for “special” armed officers to arrive. Unreal!
So bow down and do the bidding of the headchoppers.
In a sane world, all the headchoppers would be kicked out. in the current insane world, the innocent people bow down and kiss headchopper a$$.
Cowering in submission -dhimmitude. The Muslims should be cowering in fear of having their heads mounted on pikes; instead the police are deployed to prevent alleged anti-Muslim reprisals.
Woolwich attack: troops advised to be fully armed outside bases.
Why not? Are they sissy afraid to shoot these bastards while wearing the uniform of their country?
I would make sure they go off base with at least one fully armed uniformed buddy, and kill these bastards if approached. Yee Gads! When will this end?
Disgusting. Disgraceful surrender to the muzzies.
In 1982 a West German colonel told me he wore civvies while driving to the local Bundeswehr base & then changed into his uniform. Greens & other radicals would hurl rocks at his car otherwise.
This in a country where the Polizei are armed & carry submachine guns in their car trunks.
They should wear their uniforms and sidearms. Don’t these people realize that every time they give in a little, it’s a victory for those who hate them?
They didn’t act this crazy when the IRA was setting off bombs every week.
Membership in the UKIP will explode after this outrageous incident. Had this happened two weeks ago, they would be in charge of the government there.
The better choice would be to REQUIRE them to wear their uniform AND ARM them.
A soldier does not need to wear a uniform to recognize he is a soldier.
Quote from one of the attackers:
“Remove your government, they don’t care about you.”
Exemplefied by the government’s desire to keep folks from being able to protect themselves.
Without an equalizer, it’s “might makes right”.
Why advise your troops not to wear their uniforms? For heaven’s sake.
Warn the citizenry that this type of activity will not be tolerated, and then put some teeth into it.
This is like retreating on your own soil. I’d have none of it!
This is ridiculous. In addition, the soldier who was killed wasn’t even wearing a uniform.
The Muslims were hanging around near the gate waiting for someone to come out, and he walked out wearing the equivalent of a “Wounded Warriors” tee shirt (no uniform) and they attacked him and cut his head off while the rest of the Brits stood by watching.
Well, no, a group of women did try to help him. But the men present didn’t intervene and in fact obligingly took photos of the killers at the request of the latter, nobody came out from the armory, it took the police 20 minutes to get there...heck, why not just hand the country over the Muslims right now?
Should they refrain from speaking English in public?
This is an unstable situation. Western men are going to "snap" en masse.
