'Angels' prayed, comforted fallen soldier Lee Rigby

A MOTHER and daughter are being hailed as the "Angels of Woolwich' after they comforted Drummer Lee Rigby and prayed for him in his final moments.

Gemini Donnelly-Martin, 20, and her mother Amanda Donnelly, asked the men who hacked Drummer Rigby to death if they could be by his side. The two attackers allowed women to pass.

Ms Donnelly-Martin told the Daily Mirror that despite many including British Prime Minister David Cameron calling the women heroes she believes they just did what anyone would do.

"We just wanted to take care of the man. It wasn't brave. Anyone would have done it. It had to be done," she said. "The only thing people need to worry about is that poor man's mum. We are grateful, though, for what people are saying about us."

Mrs Donnelly cradled the man in her arms and prayed over his body even after being confronted by one of the alleged killers.

Her son Simeon, 22, said his mother came home afterwards and had a cup of coffee but didn't want to talk about what she had witnessed.

That’s all nice, but... Gosh, it would’ve been preferable for concealed carry to be legal over there. The outcome could’ve been soooo different.

Had he a .45 (M1911A1)
He'd still be alive.

I know, bad poetry but still if he had an M1911A1, he;d most likely sent those two mooselimbs to the giant whorehouse in the sky, or under ground.

The UK needs to wake up and allow concealed and open carry.

I wonder ... the event appears to have started with him swerving off the street to keep from hitting someone, wrecking his car and perhaps rendering him incapacitated long enough for the vermin to hack at him then drag him from the car and hack some more.

England is gone, it will not be “waking up.”
