REPORTS OF LOUD BANGS AND GUNFIRE OUTSIDE UK PARLIAMENT

[bray]

Has DNCNN reported a Russian connection yet??

[Mr Radical]

So it is quite unfair for the Brits to lump all “Asians” together.
Don't make the mistake of confusing what the MSM reports and what the Brit on the street actually thinks/says!

London’s Muslim mayor says terrorist attacks are just “part and parcel” of living in a modern metropolis.

We’re not supposed to try to end them, we’re supposed to just get used to them (according to this scumbag).

[dragnet2]

They knew damn well these were snakes before they took them in.

[mewzilla]

WTH?! I hope tourists are taking note of the mayor’s comments. Visit London at your own risk.

Guns are not banned in the UK. They are way more heavily regulated than in the US, but they are not banned and there are a heck of a lot of gun owners in the UK. A lot more than people realise.

How many CCW holders in UK? How hard is it to own a semi-auto pistol or rifle?

[Doogle]

..as expect by a muzzie

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Just saw pictures of the scene. Absolutely horrific.

[agrace]

After listening to Sky it sounds like the LEO who tackled the perp and suffered stab wounds was NOT armed with a firearm?! That the perp was shot by a member of a well-armed specialized protection detail guarding Parliament? Good gad, was that first LEO unarmed?

It's my understanding that regular beat cops over there don't carry firearms. Maybe I'm wrong, I hope so. :)

not a new comment, was made awhile ago, but certainly relevant today

yes, liberalism is a mental disorder

Fair point. I suppose the same situation occurs in the UK as occurs in the States. The MSM tells you how to think, but most folks know better.

[bray]

They found it was a terrorist from Trump’s phone.

[Enchante]

Yes, reports on Sky News make it sound like first police officer the perp encountered was unarmed and that officer was stabbed. No word on condition.

Then perp was shot by other officers guarding Parliament.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

If Obama had a son...

[Enchante]

witness described one of the pedestrians hit by the car going over the wall of the bridge, down into the river.... witness says person appeared to be dead in the water

certainly sounds like multiple fatalities, and a bunch of the victims on the bridge don’t seem to move... they are not estimating deaths yet, but I suspect there are several, at least

[kabar]

Or Trump’s immigration policies sparked this attack.

[mewzilla]

OMG, so that officer tackled a machete/knufe wielding perp because the officer had no other way to stop the perp. God bless that officer. WTH is wrong with the UK that it doesn’t trust its law enforcement enough to arm them properly.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Correct.

[Enchante]

hospital confirms one woman dead

several others with “catastrophic” injuries

[Leaning Right]

> WTH is wrong with the UK that it doesn’t trust its law enforcement enough to arm them properly <

Perhaps someone more in the know will correct me if I’m wrong. But it’s my understanding that for centuries the British police and British criminals had an informal understanding: I won’t carry weapons if you won’t.

That agreement is obviously outdated. Islamists are now using easily-available knives and cars as weapons.
