An American man has been named as one of the victims of Wednesday's deadly attack in London, Kurt Cochran, 54 and from Utah, died in the attack and his wife Melissa was seriously hurt, their family has said. They were celebrating a 25th wedding anniversary and also visiting Melissa's parents, who work on a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints mission. They were struck when the attacker drove a car over Westminster Bridge, near the Houses of Parliament. So-called Islamic State has said it was behind the attack, which left four people dead, including the attacker. Eight people have so far been arrested. President Donald Trump tweeted: "A great American, Kurt Cochran, was killed in the London terror attack. My prayers and condolences are with his family and friends."

One year ago, with only a week’s difference, my wife and I were 100 yards from where this attack occurred, also celebrating our 25th anniversary :(

That is despicable. It isn't just you. That really makes me angry. I can just see a scummy liberal: "Oh, he was a victim too. All the Islamophobia and hate drove him to it..."

I refer to it as the so-called ‘Islamic State’ as well, but for reasons of mockery. It is no more ‘a’ much less ‘the’ Islamic State, than I am Spiderman or the Queen of England. :P

We should kill 50 whirling dervishs for every American life they take.

We should.But if you give one of the protected ones, a/k/a, muslims, as much as a dirty look, the full force of the law will will come down on you like a ton of bricks. Until that day comes, and it will, it is best to avoid them[muslims]and never turn your back to them. And when forced by circumstances to have to mingle among them, keep one hand in your pocket on your friend. You will celebrate more birthdays doing that.

That movie’s 30 years old already...wow.

One of the few, if only, movies where The 007 gets killed. That was a sad scene.

50:1? Hmmm. I’m thinking more like 1,000,000:1.
