BREAKING NEWS: Labour MP Jo Cox DIES after being shot three times in the street near her office
dm ^

Posted on 06/16/2016 10:36:15 AM PDT by traumer

A Labour MP has died after she was shot three times and repeatedly stabbed in a shocking attack as she arrived at her constituency surgery. Mother-of-two Jo Cox, 41, was airlifted to hospital after a gunman opened fire on her in Birstall near Leeds.

Witnesses said the man was at the office before she arrived and shot her three times, once in the head, before stabbing her as she lay on the ground. Her husband Brendan tweeted a photo of his wife two hours after she died from catastrophic injuries. He later urged people to 'fight against the hatred that killed her.' In a statement, he said: 'Today is the beginning of a new chapter in our lives. More difficult, more painful, less joyful, less full of love. I and Jo's friends and family are going to work every moment of our lives to love and nurture our kids and to fight against the hate that killed Jo. 'Jo believed in a better world and she fought for it every day of her life with an energy, and a zest for life that would exhaust most people.

'She would have wanted two things above all else to happen now, one that our precious children are bathed in love and two, that we all unite to fight against the hatred that killed her. Hate doesn't have a creed, race or religion, it is poisonous.

'Jo would have no regrets about her life, she lived every day of it to the full.' A 53-year-old - named locally as 'loner' Tommy Mair - has been arrested by police and his house is currently being searched by forensic experts.

Just like a Democrat would do here-make it political.

Bi-partisan, that is.

And it appears the uniparty isn't even concerned about hiding that fact anymore.

I thought Dodgy Dave had already pushed back the vote. At least that was out there a few days ago; maybe he pulled back?

Thank you.

So the the EU Syndicate has a week or so to pull off some kind of diversionary incident that leads to an excuse to suspend the vote of the original date, and/or work on their FIX.

Like it wasn't political to begin with?

If your spouse gets killed by somebody yelling political slogans, I won't blame you for "making it political."

There are actually quite a few Labour MPs campaigning for leave. The issue splits both main parties down the middle, though less so in Labour than the Conservatives.

It’s by analogy with the family doctor’s surgery, the consulting room in which he sees patients (long-estblshed British usage).

Would you make that bizarre statement and tweet a picture of your wife less than 2 HOURS after the event itself?

MOST (normal) humans would be too wrapped in shock and grief.

Hubby sounds like a psycopath.

Her hubby had the ‘presence of mind’ to tweet that sentiment and her picture less than 2 HOURS after the incident.

MOST people would still be in shock at the event and the death of their spouse.

What sort of psycopath is the husband?

I don't remember what it was, but there was a similar story recently--probably someone's husband (rather than someone's wife), definitely involving social media (if not sharing a picture). There was some discussion around here about it, and I wonder if someone else here remembers.

People act out in strange ways. Nowadays people tweet all the time about anything and everything. Put the grief and all the constant tweeting together and it doesn’t sound as abnormal as it once might have. What once was private — and you can bet people thought and talked that way in private — now goes out over the Internet almost immediately. It’s the new normal.

That’s no big deal. Tony Randall fathering a child at 72 is impressive.

That’s interesting. Thought they’d be in lockstep for the socialist/globalist agenda.

Operation FUBAR is definitely a bi-partison effort — increase entitlements to vibrant communitahs and enlarge the goob behemoth in general...

Yup. In a single sentence you've outlined the entire elites' 'Operation: FUBAR' NWO plan. They will do whatever they can to suspend the 2A. Seems even O'Reilly is all in.

But before most voters start piecing the treasonous bi-partisan agenda together and figuring out we're all getting hosed, the elites and MSM must have concluded that these "HATE" and "RACIST" memes were essential to diverting attention away from their Scorched Earth policy and their tools -- the Muzzie/La Raza/BLM/Marxist scourge.

They're gonna keep everyone guessing. That's how ambushes are, right? But then Cameron is just a puppet who is told what to say and do.

Interesting (though a story a month old):

'Donald Trump Says He Probably Won't Get Along Too Well With the British Prime Minister'

https://news.vice.com/article/donald-trump-says-he-probably-wont-get-along-too-well-with-david-cameron

(snip)[Trump said] would likely have a rocky relationship with David Cameron because the British prime minister had called his proposal for a entry ban on Muslims "divisive, stupid and wrong." (snip)

Cameron criticized him in parliament and suggested that Britain would unite against him if he visited.

No doubt. And seeing how many people are now conditioned to see "racism" in everything (even in situations were race doesn't apply at all....like Islam), they're succeeding brilliantly. Seems more than half the country is deathly afraid of even appearing to appear to appear racist or nowadays. Now THAT is a real phobia. ...and it was engineered by the PTB. Taking candy from babies -- so many millions of mental weaklings.

Political to you. Political to me. Political to the general public. I would expect her husband to take it a little more personal, and not use her death to score political points before her body is even cold.

But two HOURS.

NORMAL people would be wondering what to tell the kids, planning funeral services, deciding what/where to do with the body, calling friends and family. And just imagining the empty bed where their spouse slept. The coffee cup they left in the sink that morning. Where the car is. Her belongings. That sort of stuff.

THIS guy, amazingly, finds time to tweet about the ‘haters’ who did this?

WTF?

He was on a work crew from his counseling facility who were fixing up a local park. From the larger picture that snippet was from it looks like they were building a raised wooden walkway.

I’m with you on this — it’s WAY creepy.

To the point of being suspicious.
