Six dead, 30 injured in London terror attacks; 3 suspects shot dead
Chicago S-T ^ | 4 june 2017

Posted on 06/04/2017 5:16:17 AM PDT by rellimpank

Gerard Vowls told The Guardian newspaper that he saw a woman being stabbed by three men at the south end of London Bridge. He said he threw chairs, glasses and bottles at the attackers in a bid to stop them.

“They kept coming to try to stab me . they were stabbing everyone. Evil, evil people,” he told the newspaper. “I want to know if this girl is still alive. I’ve been walking around for an hour and a half crying my eyes out. I don’t know what to do.”

Bartender Alex Martinez said he hid in a garbage bin for a half hour when a man stormed the restaurant where he worked, which was nearly full.

“I saw that man with a knife in his hand and after that a man started screaming so I knew something wrong was happening,” he said.

So with Britain knowing that they are using vehicles to mow down people, why aren’t they keeping police on the bridges and other major areas? Maybe put up concrete barriers by sidewalks on the bridges to prevent this.

Folks threw chairs? Too bad they were not allowed to throw bullets back at Satan’s Soldiers!

—my point is that “throwing chairs” is better than “hiding in a dumpster”—

HERE LIES THE PROBLEM! CRYING MY EYES OUT DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO. Britain is lost unless the men step up to the plate and take this as there own, demand the re institution of fire arms to the general public for protection, remove those in government who are allowing this to happen, remove all those remotely related to any activity, survey all mosques, close down immigration

I agree. Demonstrates both courage and resourcefulness. Britain is not dead yet. I hope that were I in his position, I would do the same.

I was in London with family, left yesterday morning, only to read of attacks once the plane landed in the US.

No wonder the film Wonder Woman is the top film this weekend. Folks want a superhero to come save them from their government’s idiotic policies.

The only appropriate reaction is righteous fury that turns into a grim determination to exact a retribution upon the Radical Islamist Terrorists, so thorough and so comprehensive that in a thousand years the few descendants of the survivors will still terrify their children with the story of the vengeance exacted by the avengers of the West.
Turn Mecca into a smoldering heap and do not stop until All of their cities are destroyed.

And then our enemies would fear us. Which they don’t today. Today, they laugh at us. And they should, because we are ridiculous.

They laugh at us for being fools who think that with just a little more submission, just a wee bit more self-abasement, our enemies will accept us as friends.

They laugh at us for being fools whose response to spilled blood is flowers and cards and tweets.

They laugh at us for not having a fraction of the faith in ourselves that the terrorists have in themselves.

They’re willing to blow themselves into chunks for what they believe in.

We’re not even willing to take our own side in this fight.

“I want to know if this girl is still alive. I’ve been walking around for an hour and a half crying my eyes out. I don’t know what to do.”

Buying flowers and Teddy Bears seems to be the accepted national response.

Kill the bass turds!

—while I understand that reactions to events such as this vary (and I have never been exposed to such), I have always hoped that the entry wounds in a worst case would be in my chest, rather than my back—

A Quote from one of my all time favorite movies,” reign of fire “ comes to mind .

“Envy the country that has heroes, I say Pity the country that needs them.”

I Pity you Britain.

Had someone had a gun and sent the slime to their hell, the Brits would have prosecuted the gun owner who would have received a worse sentence than the child boinking profit followers.

I don’t think that would work. The Islamists would just target another crowded pedestrian area instead, perhaps the sidewalk in front of a popular store.

Watched the video of the unarmed cops barging into a pub and ordering patrons to the floor.

I dunno y’all...but watching grown men cowering to the floor, some looked like fetal positions was pretty damn pathetic.

An unarmed society is a submissive society...how true.

Just waiting for the usual suspects to start reminding us that this is an aberration of individuals and not characteristic of the "Religion of Peace!" On the other hand, just 2 years ago, Dylan Roof MURDERED 9 people in a Christian Church and was immediately made the emblem of the vicious racist movement symbolized by the Confederate Battle Flag.

Just last month the US Civil War "Nash Farm Battlefield Museum" near Atlanta, Georgia, was dismantled when local politico made demands about the display of the Confederate flag[s] on the city-owned property. Today, you cannot buy a Confederate Battle Flag from Amazon, however you can apparently buy an ISIS Flag from that same vendor.

Hypocrisy much?

with all of this, I am reminded at once of General Patton who at one time said (I am paraphrasing here now) “when you see the guts of your fellow soldier blown to pieces and hanging all over your clothing, you will then know what to do”.

This won’t be pretty.

But it will be necessary.

Rig for silent running.

Well, we can't have THAT! I'm sure a London prosecuter will indict him.

British vigilantes need to go to the terrorists’ family homes and eliminate the fathers, brothers & uncles of these madmen to send a message that enough is enough...

Suicide terrorists of the future should be aware they will be taking all male family members with them...fight barbarism with barbarism...
