Just breaking now on Sky.
I may only carry a .40 cal. Glock, but my Starfire rounds would have left a hole big enough in his torso to shove that backpack through. :)
The way they took that guy is precisely what most Britons would expect our anti-terrorist forces to do. Have a look at the latter half of this story from the IRA days.

"By the way....what is this "and the like" you seem to lump me in to?"
What I meant by "and the like" referring to what I keep reading and hearing from all sources(people) from formal and informal news sources referring to 9/11 as if it was only a threat or minimal enemy attack on America when it was a collosal hit comparible to Pearl Harbor during WWII except the thousands of 9/11 victims slaughtered in the twin towers downing were innocent unarmed, unwarned civilians.
Kelly have you ever read the book or seen the movie of Kurt Vonnegut's "Harrison Bergeron" about a society that seeks to end conflict not by lifting everyone UP but by pushing everyone down to the lowest common denominator?
I think there is an element of that in some 'hate the rich' liberals who practice 'politics of envy' and that kind of underlying motive may also be used to manipulate the masses in parts of the Muslim world; envy the rich West, hate the rich West for having what you dont...then bomb it until it becomes as impoverished as you are.
For Allahs sake dont admire Western societies' success and seek to attain the same by throwing off your own corrupt regimes...no 'redress the imbalance' by dragging the West DOWN instead of rising yourselves UP. :-(
Basically a 'misery loves company' approach.
Inhumane and yes, insane.
The man failed to integrate.
Oh well...there will be more arriving tomorrow.
Careful, the Handicapper General will get you....
Ahhh. As you suspected. I was too kind yesterday, I see. LOL
Their silence is deafening = extremely questionable thus creates expected distrust and doubt from Western civilization.
So the left needs to stop this PC BS about profiling. If they are not willing to police their own, then every single one of them is a suspect as far as I am concerned. Every single Mosque needs to be searched for evidence pertaining to aiding and abetting terrorists. If they have nothing to hide they should welcome law enforcement in to clear themselves. Screw politics. The terrorists in London, and I am sure in the US, are living right under our noses and are being protected by the lunacy of the left.
It is time to draw a line in the sand. You are either for us or against us. 
I know what you are thinking....did I fire five shots, or did I fire six? Well, you know, in the midst of all the confusion, I lost track myself....let me pump any remaining rounds into your body JIHADIST!
You are a kind person.
I'm just a warm and cuddly grampa, skilled over the years in spotting BSers in real life and on the internet.
Still no response from it.
Maybe it is being ferreted out and hunted at this time by some SAS guys loaned out to the London Police or Scotland Yard.
You keep firing until it quits twitching.
That is becuase they were reporting a quote from an eyewitness, who was, as it happens, in the UK at the time.
Really, this stuff isn't that hard to follow...
One might hope theyd be reconsidering it though I doubt it..instead they'll cry out for more unilateral personal disarmament [remember a bunch of them wanting to ban sharp kitchen knives a couple months ago?]...-sigh-
One can only wonder if a trained and armed populace of Britain Freemen and Freewomen might be useful in some of these terrorist incidents, as the Israelis discovered with their own efforts arming the people against terrorists blowing up buses.
Remember it was ancien English Common Law that not merely the symbol but the very ACT of manumission of a slave or 'bondman' was simply to provide him with "armes suitable for a freedman" [which nowadays would be a firearm].
It is beyond sad that a [once?] free people could forget that.
Your tagline is funny.. :D !
Heard on the news a while ago that the police fired 5 shots. 5 shots entered his head. I like that kind of treatment for terrorist.
Are Starfire rounds like Powerball Rounds or different.
So much for the idea of the friendly, helpful, unarmed British Bobby.
Well done!
Tag a few more.
Jack.
LOL.
And to think I read Poe's book (own it, in fact) and was so taken in. Shaking my head in dismay.
