Terror attack in London?

[wicked]

That's what David Cameron is calling the killing of a man identified in multiple media reports (I know, I know) as a British service member.

Chilling footage out there of a purported suspect calmly holding a machete in his hand.

I breathlessly await the discussion on meat cleaver control that is sure to break out here.

On the bright side, the two barbarians were gunned down by police.

Media get the interview before the police get them. Wait wut?

British cops don't carry guns so they probably had to ask to borrow a few before they could shoot this guy.

What strikes me in that video is the people who appear to be non-chalantly milling around the sidewalks behind the guy. And who is filming this interview anyways?

Wouldn't you expect folks standing near a homicidal madman who just chopped a man to death and is still wielding the weaponry to be reacting with a wee bit more alarm? Very weird footage.

Your average British policeman walking a beat doesn't carry a gun. That doesn't mean that the British police don't have guns. As it was in London, I assume that the suspects were shot by SO19 officers. SO019 have a **** load of guns.

You should try having a clue what you're talking about. It's all the rage.

You and Mr7134 shouldn't be such ****ing humorless ****wits and recognize a ****ing joke when you see one.

Jokes are funny.

Here's part of it. But I think it was a passer-by with a cell camera.

It's the oddest thing, the guys were just hanging out after the attack. They were holding knives and machetes and were talking to witnesses and bystanders. And nobody seemed concerned that they might kill more people.

You sometimes get such a sense of disconnect on the streets of London that it might as well be a David Lynch film.

Seriously, if I hadn't seen the attack itself, I would have walked right on by ("humm... drunk guy lying unconscious in the road.... some other guy - South London, respect Bro! - ranting on tediously to his buddies... nope, nothing new...")

Now the English Defence League is clashing with the police in the same neighborhood.

Guy was filming them on his cell phone to show the police, and one of the killers walked up to him and asked him to record a statement.

Props on phone's video quality then.

 

[Armchair_QB]

Reading the Guardian it doesn't say the suspects were killed by the police but that two men were shot and taken to separate hospitals.

Of course...this must be a European False Flag. Just ask Alex Jones. He's all over it.

They are English. There will be plenty of time for concern after they've had a spot of tea.

Seems you're still waiting. I'm stunned.

Maybe if you tried a joke that was actually funny, people might respond in humor. But hey, at least you got in your 47th reference to gun control.

And just so we're clear, when I make a joke about the next terror attack in America, you won't respond like a humorless ****wit, right?
