Mark Steyn ping.
Freepmail me, if you want on or off the Mark Steyn ping list.
Thanks for the ping Slings and Arrows.
I can't help but think that this would not have happened "state-side"! Why on earth were the London "by-standers" so passive?
And why oh WHY do the British police not have guns or any other "restraining weapons" (pepper spray? at the very least??)?
Not to mention the afore-mentioned bystanders...I can only imagine how long it would take to hack someone to death with knives and a meat cleaver, and even a machete (which I seem to remember being mentioned in a news story)...a citizen with a gun could possibly have stopped this.
This is a truly horrifying and sickening "incident"...don't forget it!
