London’s Mayor sticks with “safest global city in the world” line
Hot Air ^ | 4 Jun 2017 | Jazz Shaw

Last night’s attack on London Bridge and at Borough Market was actually over in under ten minutes, though the confusion and chaos in the aftermath stretched through the night as officials sorted out the details. As of this morning the damage toll stands at 7 dead and nearly 50 injured. Full credit goes to London’s first responders who reportedly shot and killed all three attackers in very short order and locked down the area efficiently so the investigation could begin. How much of a “network” existed in support of those three killers will likely not be known for days, if not weeks, but the authorities there are once again quick out of the gate and have arrested a dozen people in less than twelve hours. (Good job, folks.)

In the meantime, we saw two very different responses from the Mayor of London and the the Prime Minister. London Mayor Sadiq Khan, the first Muslim to hold that office, did manage to acknowledge the damage which had been done, but immediately fell back on a well practiced line indicating perhaps a bit more optimism than is warranted. This segment from Fox News includes the Mayor’s comments, along with a response from from Mustafa Tameez, a DHS consultant under President George W. Bush.

There’s no reason to be alarmed. One of the things the police and all of us need to do is make sure that we’re as safe as we possibly can be.

I’m reassured that we are one of the safest global cities in the world, if not the safest global city in the world.

Safest Global city on the planet = Under current authoritarian or Islamic terrorist siege.

Blah, blah, blah.

I just posited my own opinion elsewhere that the British have capitulated.

If “police state” is “part & parcel a part of British city life” then the worst is yet to come for the English.

Liberal hypocrisy knows no bounds and idiocy is contagious when promulgated by leadership

Peace to a radical muslin is when the kafir are being harassed and killed.

Well it did appear that they had compliance from the NON perps who exited the area with their hands locked behind their heads. I don’t think my shoulders could deal with that any longer. You get some handcuffs, and you get some handcuffs, everybody gets handcuffs.

DJT needs to address Chicago sooner rather her than later.

I guess the threat of terror wasn’t enough so the English elected as Muslim as Mayor, just to make sure and by jove he is exceeding expectation isn’t he “Nothing to see here, move it along”.

No doubt the Manchester concert tonight with ariana grande latte and K-dee perry and others will be rife with calls to “hug it out” and share the love. Just provide jobs and everything will be A-Otay. Fidiots.

Well, isn’t the murder rate in Chicago higher than London?

I think the Chicago murder rate might be three times that of london. Twice as great for sure.

Washington DC is also less safe than London

Right now a trip to the Holy Land is safer than going to Europe.

"Think about it, Londoners, a brave officer was in the scene as the first seconds of the attacks unfolded, but HE HAD NO GUN."

Pretty bad when just about anyone in Arizona can be better prepared to stop a terrorist attack than a bobby in London, using this:

Well there were those Aum Shinrikyo nutcases that had that Sarin attack in the Tokyo subway. But that's about all I can think of.

Well then, I guess we'd better get us a mozlum mayor in there to fix it.
