And it was also a gun free zone which worked out pretty good considering how many people were there and only one brought in a gun.

This Muslim guy is more lethal than AIDS... but joking aside the Muslims get to rack up more body-count in their eternal Jihad.

And you better believe, right now, this second, hundreds of muzzies are trying to figure out how they can exceed that total and set a new record.

Unless and until RADICAL ISLAM is blamed and brought to the forefront, until we recognize the problem, this BS will continue.

I’m glad they refer to him as a “US citizen” and not an American. They are not the same. US citizens are something the government creates. Americans are born that way.

At least we have the British Press to cut past the spin and deflection of our own domestic media and call the spade a spade in the first sentence.

A vest that looked like a bomb. I don’t think so. Too hard to make in this country.
