No, not my shot. I pulled it off the interwebs. However, taking a shot like that from a distance would be easy with a zoom lens. I saw alot of cops out on the London streets armed just like those in the image. They were quite visible as a show of force.

TY.

Double whoa. Tweet out from (what looks to be) a Beeber says Abu Izadeen ain’t the dead perp. Good gad...

[caww]

I checked...this may just be an incident unrelated...or possibly the police going after other known terrorists in the city...there are many under surveillance in London as once they serve their short prison terms they are let out on the streets.

I suspect there will be further arrests anyway...there always are after an Islamic terrorist attack as it gives the police additional powers to do so when an event occurs.

[mewzilla]

Additional powers...which, in the Brits’ case, appears to be a euphemism for catch and release. If Izzadeen is really the perp.

[caww]

..”Most politicians are more concerned with staying in office, though”....

Yes, and not because they want to “serve” the people...it's because they have access to develop great wealth. Which is why the elites fight so whenever any new politician wants to genuinely do the right thing And why congressional leaders like McCain, Pelosi, Shulmer, Clintons, and any on our side fight against anything that will affect their "position" stronghold. They "Owe" those who brought them wealth to maintain the status quo for others to follow.

.....and then came Trump....and all hell has broken loose...Ha!

she reminds me of my 7th grade English teacher.

Nice hat by the way..

[trisham]

Exactly right. I love it!

[caww]

Well in fairness to the Brits....we’re pretty good right here in the states for “catch and release”.....no thanks to Obama and even Bush..

Laws mean absolutely zero without enforcement....therefore lawlessness prevails.

Confusion about whether or not its Abu Izzadeen.

Lawyer says he’s in jail BUT reports no contact with him since Jan. 8!!! So, might he have been released early???

This issue re Abu Izzadeen has so far not been confirmed solidly either way.

[Enchante]

also saw lawyer said no contact with Abu Izzadeen since Jan. 8 so we will have to see what develops..... is it possible the guy has been released? Could that happen without lawyer being notified??

Now I haven’t seen anything that definitely confirms yes or no on Abu Izzadeen as the perp.

[mewzilla]

They’ve gotta know if they have him if he’s still in the jug...

[Enchante]

well yeah, you’d think the officials could get their act together and confirm by now if Abu Izzadeen is alive and in prison, or not.....

[mewzilla]

If Izzadeen isn’t the perp, I can see why they’d keep that quiet if they’re trying to round up and/or ID other suspects. Sounds like media ran with the ID before the Met confimed it.

This summary was posted just 4 minutes ago, doesn’t give any info on perp:

Excerpt from Prime Minister's statement issued half an hour ago. Single attacker, shot dead:

Prime minister's statement on today's attack

I have just chaired a meeting of the Government’s emergency committee, COBRA, following the sick and depraved terrorist attack on the streets of our Capital this afternoon.The full details of exactly what happened are still emerging. But, having been updated by police and security officials, I can confirm that this appalling incident began when a single attacker drove his vehicle into pedestrians walking across Westminster Bridge, killing two people and injuring many more, including three police officers. This attacker, who was armed with a knife, then ran towards Parliament where he was confronted by the police officers who keep us – and our democratic institutions – safe. Tragically, one officer was killed. The terrorist was also shot dead....

[mewzilla]

I wonder if the 3 police officers hurt were armed with something other than whistles?
