More to come....

[Loud Mime]

This DID NOT happen. Guns are illegal in GB /s

[Polynikes]

I am calling BS on the news story. Its a well established fact that Great Britain has banned weapons of this sort. Its just can't happen because the gubbermint told me so. (s/)

[johniegrad]

Natural selection.

[Dick Bachert]

Roger that.

Like DC, NYC, San Freakcisco, GB has BANNED guns (so, of course, the only folks who legally have them are the cops and the bad guys.

----Mohammed Sannoh, 19, and Abdi Omar Noor, 22, both from south London----

--no doubt had their lives ruined by being brought up in too-strict, stiff upper lip British tradition--(sarc)

[San Jacinto]

The gun ban really works. One died but two lives were saved — the perps.

[TWohlford]

“Mohammed Sannoh, 19, and Abdi Omar Noor...”

No doubt these young men were named after ancient Scottish kings, and regularly attend the services of the Anglican Church.

Those two-one's from Sierra Leone, and one's from Somalia, I think. Regarding their gangmate Hakeem Dosunmu (I think it was Bush or Blair's fault)

From the Daily Mail:

Once a Sunday School teacher, Hakeem's life descended into drug dealing and gangsterism before he found redemption after his brother's death.
He went downhill soon after returning from five years in the Army, serving in Basra with 32 Engineers during the invasion of Iraq and later in Bosnia

Does London have a troubled youth problem like France? I noticed that a lot of London’s crime is being carried out by people with a certain type of name.

[vladimir998]

Wow, those Amish thugs are really a problem in Britain.

[Coffee200am]

I think they were Methodists...

[usmcobra]

Amish

“Mohammed Sannoh, 19, and Abdi Omar Noor...”

Such nice young ENGLISH boys....

[dfwgator]

Well they certainly aren't Doug and Dinsdale Piranha.

[Northern Alliance]

Throw the U.K. book at ‘em. 7 years!

[Grizzled Bear]

"It was a well planned and well executed execution. The victim had no chance of surviving."

There's nothing as well executed as the execution of a well executed execution being executed.

Muzzie versus Jamaican gunfights and brawls

[Rocky]

Let me be the first to say... no, wait, the second... well, let me be the third to say, “This story can’t be true. Guns are outlawed in the UK.” Said with as much UK smugness as I can muster.

[vladimir998]

That explains it!
