Yes, it was a harrowing experience for us. I awoke for no reason at 1:45 AM for no reason and went to the computer, telling myself that the whole time that this was stupid, there was no one on the internet at this time. I checked FreeRepublic and the first post was about the bombing. It had just been posted, before the report had hit the news. I checke the time in London and picked up my cell phone to call my son. He was just leaving the train station and was upset that he was going to be late for work. I told him not to worry, that it was a terrorist attack and to go back to his flat and stay there. They didn't even know what was going on at that point.
Angry young men, middle eastern origin, and attending a Saudi-financed mosque...oh, did I fail to mention a Saudi-trained Mullah? Its going to be real simple to stop this mess. You close down the Saudi-financed Mosques, and kick out these Mullahs.
I'm happy he, his friends and you, were spared such a horrible murder.
Yes, it was a miracle that they were spared, I have no doubt that the almighty had a hand in that.
That is so surreal. Thanks for the update.
Now, now, now. We should call them "safe refuge facilities" where Muslims can go when they feel threatened by "backlash."

"but if tommorrow, some dude with an OBL shirt and a backpack walked into the subway in NYC - I doubt that person would be stopped before boarding the train."
Methinks you are wrong, if said dude were spotted by NYPD or the Transit Police. The politicians may be concerned about whom they offend, but the cops want to be able to go home to their families at night. (Of course the LEO problem is, when you halt a suicide bomber who's under suspicion, and he detonates, he's accomplished his mission, and you probably won't make it home after all.)
That won't stop them, but it sure will make it more difficult for these cowardly murderers to get around.
Thanks for that post, I like the Brits
Families of the victims should file a lawsuit against the Mosque(s) these Muslim terrorists attend!
One question: What happened to all the reports in the days after the bombing that said these were NOT suicide bombs, but were on timers? What made them think that then? What made them change their minds now? Something smells funny.
Maybe it was a "work accident" -- the bomb went off prematurely, while he was traveling by bus to his intended target. It might have just been unstable, or perhaps he was trying to set the timer or arm it while on the bus.
they claim they have these videos, and I imagine they have some forensics from the point of the explosion.
the tin foil theory on this:
they have no idea who did it, they are clueless. its easiest to say "all the suspects blew themselves up". who is going to prove otherwise? they close the books on this incident quickly and move on, because they don't have the political courage to do what is needed to clean this scum off their streets. what's 52 dead in the big picture? not much.
I am put in mind of Heinlein's "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress." In that book, if any "New Chum" (a new immigrant to the moon colony) steps out of line, they are immediately ushered out an airlock by the populace that the fool endangered. Quick frontier justice. Thank God our President is a cowboy.
"Profiling saves lives."
True in many places on earth...just not in America since it is illegal to profile in America.
