....”We can’t live like this”....

Going to have to learn how to...it’s never going to be “safe” as once knew...we live in a world with a marching enemy in every nation......they call it war....we call it crime.

The cops didn't take too long to shoot the perps dead, once they arrived.

Reportedly, both are alive and under guard in separate hospitals. Unlike that Chechen in Florida.

What's amazing is that it took 20 minutes for the cops to show up. UK cops are normally unarmed. Perhaps the delay was because nobody could remember the combination to the gun lockers.

Fighting? How many male Brits were there in those 20 minutes? And they didn’t do squat. Zilch. NOTHING.

Fighting with swords? They could have been armed with blasters and light sabers, and nothing would have been different.

How far they have fallen...

Sad that their soldiers sacrifice so much to fight an enemy...who is already welcome in their home. What is the point of fighting for such a worthless country?

Let the brits enjoy their rapes and beheadings.

The late Oriana Fallaci was a well-known Italian, ground-breaking journalist from the 1960-70’s who was 500 times better than Cristian Ammanpor, wrote a few books warning Europe about the coming deluge of Islam in Europe. The book is called “The Rage and the Pride”. She was of course controversial and shunned by her (left-leaning) colleagues and much of the European media. She was light years ahead of her time. I think she died in 2006. Worthwhile looking her up. She was amazing and not scared to write the truth, no matter what - a TRUE journalist!

The press interviewed a man in Boston who said that he had been hiding under a bed with his wife and kids during the hunt for Speed bump and Baby Bomber. He sounded like he thought it was a perfectly normal thing for a man to do.

I don’t think it works that way - that the ordinary cops are ever issued firearms. I believe they would have to call out special armed police squads.

The growing Islamic menace inside these permissive, liberal societies could bring back fascism to Europe.

Time to bury pork or pork product on every square acre of this country. And then let each deed reflect so.

The European Left hates only one enemy.

American Conservatives.

Unarmed, they would charge across open fields into machine gun fire for a chance to destroy us.

But why bother?

The GOP leadership is doing the job for them.

“They’re cattle and we’re not much better.”

You’re absolutely right; for decades most American men have accepted that a less-qualified black, Hispanic, or women should be permitted to take their seat in a college or a job.

After that is addressed I’ll care about Muslims.

I see your point. The woman who got off the bus and tried to heal the man she saw down was courageous.

If she had been killed though she wouldn't have been smart.

Unwise would probably be a better word than stupid, courage though often demands that rational thinking and wisdom be thrown out the window.

If men are men only when they have guns, we’re in pretty sorry shape.

And you have to have the moral certainty to actually use the gun, and I doubt that they would have done that, either.

You have a point.

The soldier was dead, beheaded. The women put their lives at risk. The Muslims were armed. Sometimes the best thing to do is stay out of trouble.

They did look like maybe they could be taken down more easily after the attack which looks like it wore the speaker out. He might have been amped up and more ferocious during the attack, but he looks vulnerable after it.

Still the Muslims had superior arms to the civilians. Guy with a baseball bat fights a guy with a knife, the guy with the knife usually wins.
