A mother honours her 'precious’ son
She had bravely come to see the spot where her son’s life was brought to a brutal end, but as she arrived at the flower-carpeted murder scene in Woolwich today, it became more than Lyn Rigby could bear.

Her legs buckled under her and Drummer Lee Rigby’s mother sank to her knees as her face dissolved into tears of raw grief.
She was consoled by her husband Ian and other members of Drummer Rigby’s family, who wrapped their arms around her as she sat on the kerb, trying to find the strength to get up.
Drummer Rigby’s sister Sara, 24, also had to be helped up after she fell to the ground, overcome with emotion. She relied heavily on her stepfather to keep her on her feet for much of the visit.
The family later added their own tributes to the thousands of bouquets which have turned the area into a public shrine extraordinary in its scale.

What’s with the “scare quotes” around “precious”?
God Bless and comfort them.
Probably the news rag wants to distance editors from taking sides and offending Muslim killers that are surely ‘precious’ sons to their mothers. Excuse me I had to barf while typing this sarcasm.
I don’t think you need to claim sarcasm; I think you are right.
The newsrag doesn’t consider a non-muslim “precious,” let alone a non-muslim soldier.
It sounds like the two killers in your story were native British.

The law over there doesn’t allow for their pictures to be shown due to age.
I saw a picture of the killer that the parents of the deceased befriended. The killer may have been born in England, but he’s not English.
OK. I looked for a picture and could not find one.
Pitiful. And what is with the crowds just standing around watching them in their grief?
I guess at any rate perhaps it may sink it that this could happen to any one of their loved ones. I hope it does and that they come to their senses in Britain and realize there is no good reason to allow muslims to infiltrate their country.
Although Saving Private Ryan had so many incredibly powerful scenes the *most* moving,IMO,was the one where the Army staff car pulls up to the Ryan family’s Iowa farmhouse and,when the chaplain gets out,his mother falls to the ground.These photos remind me of that scene.
I can’t speak for Prime Minister Cameron but we all know that *Osama Obama*,having grabbed that megaphone,would have apologized to the “Religion of Peace” for all the dastardly disrespect we had shown it since our founding.
Your last point is what gets me-There are millions of non-mudslime immigrants who would love to move to the U.K., so why does that government allow the fascists in?
Good on the people who made the memorial and I hope it helps the family to move through grief and find peace.
Islam’s rule of numbers and the beheading in London

In London last week, two Muslim men shouting jihad’s ancient war-cry, “Allahu Akbar” beheaded a British soldier with a cleaver—in a busy intersection and in broad daylight. They boasted of their crime in front of passersby and asked to be videotaped.
As surreal as this event may seem, Islamic beheadings are not uncommon in the West, including the U.S.
In 2011, a Pakistani-American who helped develop “Bridges TV”—a station “designed to counter negative stereotypes of Muslims”—beheaded his wife.
In Germany in 2012, another Muslim man beheaded his wife in front of their six children—again while hollering “Allahu Akbar.”
Once extremists become the majority, the violence ironically wanes, but that’s because there are fewer infidels to persecute.
Beheading non-Muslim “infidels” in the Islamic world is especially commonplace:
In Yemen a “sorceress” was beheaded by the “Supporters of Sharia”;
