Terrorist attack in London

They must hate the freedoms of the UK people, right, Finn? There's just no other reason for this to happen.

Well, sort of.

Ultimately the reason these guys committed their murder was because the UK didn't kill them first.

If these guys had already been blasted into piles of hamburger, they would have had difficulties in carrying out their attack.

That's why it is so important to continue, and even increase, the dronestrikes.

But yes, as far as motive goes, they are motivated primarily by a hatred of freedom and democracy.

I hope McTag is safe, and also that those he cares about are safe.

you seem to only wish safety upon those with whom you agree? I wish that you remain safe and we don't even agree on the Law of Gravity

But you won't touch this bit of arrant nonsense, above, with a ten foot pole, Farmer. I wonder why that is.

Ideally, each Englishman who chooses to do so, will freely enable himself or herself for personal defense
(whereof decedent appeared to be incapable).

I have never come across a lawyer/ex-lawyer this thick and I've seen some doozies.

Did you suffer some sort of serious brain injury, Sig?

Well, I'm in Catalunya so joloff rice eating Sarf London nutters (oh sorry, "Islamist terrorists") would have to fork out for airline tickets if they want to kill me.

@OmSigDAVID,

Nobody over here is talking about relaxing gun laws, it's not anyone's agenda, and it will never happen. There is talk about whether or not more police should be trained to use firearms, as the police were on the scene in 9 minutes but had to wait another five for an ARV.

Guns would have turned a tragedy into a catastrophe. If the thuggish, far right EDL, who turned up to throw bottles at the police, had been armed we'd be mourning a lot more than one death today.

I hope the farmer comes home early and catches him in the sty, then he'll have a lot of explaining to do.

Explain WHAT??
Oralloy said: "I hope McTag is safe,

McTag is on YOUR side (did he switch???), on the anti-liberty side.

Oralloy expresses benevolence & magnanimity toward McTag
n those he cares about -- not toward ME.

Will u explain the problem to me ?

I wonder what proportion of these a2k threads end up in playground behaviour?
Getting back to the subject, the poor lad who was killed was only in his 20's and had a 2 year old son.
The bastards ran him over with their car first, in order to disable him, before doing what they did.
My family comes from this part of London, and I know from experience that the locals are tough, and don't back away from a fight.
I am actually amazed that there hasn't been major payback for this, and take my hat off to the local authorities for keeping things under control and defusing the situation. Nods to the local muslims as well for totally denouncing this atrocity.
I know it sounds funny, but I'm also thankful that the weather is so bleedin' atrocious and cold at the moment, because if we were having a nice summer heatwave at this time, I could envisage a whole different and scary scenario.
There's no better ally to law and order than freezing cold, wet weather.

That is so sad that it almost breaks my heart.
(I think that the structural histories of our respective governments r antithetical.)
Google tells me that there r over 50,000,000 people in England.
Of all those people NO ONE loves liberty?

Not even enuf liberty be ABLE
to defend his or her own life ??
My grandfather was from Devon Shire, England, in the 18OOs.

Historically, the English used to take pride
in being freedom-loving, and having relative freedom.

I will not challenge u on the facts; u r there on the scene.
If u say it is so, then I 'm sure it is.

That 's like a discussion qua whether
MORE cardio-vascular surgeons shud be trained,
with a consensus against citizens' possession of defibrillators.

About 3O years ago, I saw a demented bum
breaking the window of a women's shoe store on Madison Ave. & 54th Street.
I called the police; I was very surprised at how fast thay arrived.
The word instantly comes to mind (maybe within a minute ? )

Maybe less of a (final) catastrophe for the decedent,
if he 'd had adequate firepower.
(Personally, I favor a .44 special revolver, for walking in better safety.)

I know nothing of the "EDL", nor do I
understand the concept of being "far right" in England,
in that I do not believe that u have in mind the constraints of the US Constitution.

WHAT is the subject matter of the conservation, in England?
Being "far right" means being conservative, orthodox, NOT varying from something;
I know not WHAT. Something about the Monarchy ??

I think he was born that way. he is such a seriously stupid prick, to a pathological degree, that his pronouncements are just noise, basically.

I'll let the EDL tell you what they stand for in their own words.

@izzythepush,

was that fellow fresh from the warm confines of a nearby public house where he had single handedly consumed several large measures of malt beverages? He sounds impaired

It is not really accurate to characterize "good verses evil" as a matter of mere disagreement.

farmerman wrote:

I certainly differ when it comes to your hatred of civil rights, but I don't know that our disagreement extends beyond that issue.

OmSigDAVID is correct. I do disagree rather strongly with some of the awful things that McTag says. And I do still wish him well.
