A British Conservative MP has died after being stabbed multiple times on Friday when meeting members of the public in his constituency.

Sir David Amess, 69, who represented Southend West in Essex, was fatally attacked at Belfairs Methodist Church in Leigh-on-Sea.

The father-of-five is the second sitting MP to be killed in such circumstances in five years, following the death of Labour MP Jo Cox in 2016 as she attended a constituency surgery.

According to Sky News, a man walked into the meeting place and “stabbed him multiple times.”

...

According to the BBC, Amess was known as a social conservative and a prominent campaigner against abortion.

Following his death, flags have been lowered to half-mast outside Parliament.

You are not allowed to have sharp pointed knives in the UK, only rounded tips one. How could this have happened?

“a prominent campaigner against abortion.”

Pro-abortion forces are particularly evil.

Oh no! Who did this? Why aren't they calling it an assassination?

The way they are hiding the identity of the attacker makes me think it’s another adherent of the “religion of peace”.

Must this news organ be so damn explicit / specific?

"A member of the species Homo sapiens walked..." would have been more than sufficient!

Notice how they did not say ‘A knife man’. It is only Gunmen who are under the evil control of a gun.

To be fair, it might have been a "scissors man," or maybe even a "knitting needle man."

Yeah! That's the ticket!

"But sir: Who was it that attacked the MP?"

"He was attacked by an assailant!"

Very informative!

Do they still allow grinding wheels?

Or magnets and strings at those knife redistribution boxes the British police have been kind enough to set up.

The knife must have been brought in illegally from one of those backward places where they haven't banned knives, baseball bats, machete’s, hatchets, claw hammers, bows and arrows, or any other assault weapon.

https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/man-kills-several-people-norway-bow-arrow-attacks-police-say-2021-10-13/ (assault bow)

Ever see the video of the dude in London chopping a British soldier apart in daylight? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsEWgKttC9A (Ban machete’s and hatchets?)

Is Chuck Schummer working on a arrow limit for quivers? Only 3 arrows allowed! LOL

When will these people realize the madness behind trying to make the world safer by banning inanimate objects without memory, feelings, consciousness, morality... It's just a thing and it is neither a mind control device, nor magical in it's ability to kill (box cutters worked well to kill 2,800 people in a matter of minutes on 9-11).

***What's evil is the person using it.*** And there is no limit to what you can ban, because a frigging car/pickup truck can be a weapon.

I have guns everywhere in my home. My kids grew up with guns. Maybe this is shocking news to some, but none ever went off unintentionally. They never spoke to me and made me hear voices to go attack someone. My personality doesn't change when I carry one. I don't have weird dreams even though I have some under my bed. My kids didn't become serial killers or cause a school shooting. Actually, nothing happened, ever. Because it's just a piece of metal, plastic or wood. People give a gun some mystical / magical attributes.

Meanwhile, the US and Europe is bringing in over a hundred thousand refugees from Afghanistan. Guess what will happen in a few years? But we're worried and arguing about magazine capacities or blade shape and length. You can't make that stupid shit up. This should be something for a Monty Python show, not the actual policies of nations.

Funny how the only politicians targeted for assassination these days are on the comparative right.

If they can get got, so can the other side.
