A man in his 20s is fighting for life after being shot multiple times outside his home in Brent, north-west London, at around 8.30pm on Thursday night. An unnamed eyewitness claimed the attacker used to “machine gun” to fire at hail of bullets at the victim in Lawrence Avenue, according to the Evening Standard.

The man, who was treated at the scene before being rushed to hospital in a critical condition, was shot at least eight times, the witness claims.

Police found another man in his 20s with critical stabbing injuries just two hours later about a mile away in Rainborough Close.

Scotland Yard is investigating whether there is a link between the two attacks.

The intrepid Mayor of London will snap the culprits with his prayer rug.

And what was it like before the present mayor was elected?

Or before the doors were opened for the influx from the ME?

This reads like an assassination attempt of two specific individuals. You don’t need a noisy ‘Machine Gun’ to rob somebody.
I’m guessing most hoodlums wouldn’t usually want to attract so much attention to their crime.

"...hand grenades..."


Yes, they are only the “occasional” variety of hand grenades and Molotov cocktails so far! I loved when they used that word.

Let me guess.....the usual suspects?

The dishonest dhimmi brit politicians refuse to acknowledge the elephant, excuse me the camel, in the room. And they won’t let you either.

>>>An unnamed eyewitness claimed the attacker used to “machine gun” to fire at hail of bullets at the victim<<<

The missing word is “allegedly”. If the Witness was a good old Southern Boy, I might believe it was a “machine” gun.

I love how the observation of an unnamed eyewitness defines how the Headline is written.

At least the British media is reporting these attacks. The American media won’t usually report these stories unless the casualty count is just too high to ignore.

AR-15 and AK-47 are now obsolete Presstitute lexicon.

From now on it will be assault machine guns or machine gun assault weapons

I wonder about that. I think it’s more likely that the Western Europeans will simply adjust to their brave new world. “No terror attacks today? Jolly good! Now please pass the tea.”

On the other hand, I think the Eastern Europeans might just start arming themselves.

How can this be? We all know that England is a gun free paradise, and especially London, where there is no violence at all!

Trumps Fault! (TM)

(Seriously, I’m sure that the NYS & CNN will find a way to blame this on President Trump!)

I think they should arrest a few more of their citizens for speaking out against the violent sub humans they keep importing into their country. That should solve everything.
