    The curious thing about these types of situations, is how the various respondeners don't mistake each other for one of the bad guys. If they've got time to get their equipment, surely they've got time for some sort of identifiable uniform other than jeans and t-shirts.

    You can see as the camera pans back she has the phone to her ear.

    But there are a few people just standing around filming.

    I'm pretty sure they perfectly know how to recognise each other and we will never know how they do that, for obvious reasons. :cool:

    No, there is a guy already on his phone and she clearly finds the camera app first and then readjusts the phone to film.

    Off topic but I watched a very interesting film on this subject just last night. Nightcrawler - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nightcrawler_(film)

    Security forces have said before photos or videos from people's phones are now a vital part of an investigation and to piece together events of what has happened.
    It's pure voyeurism in my opinion especially when a person could be in a position to help a victim..

    The culprit was taken away in an ambulance by armed guard. He may be still alive.


    Keep him alive, say he died, take him to a black site.

    From Sky News:

    Witnesses described seeing a middle-aged man carrying a knife and running.

    Jayne Wilkinson said: "We were taking photos of Big Ben and we saw all the people running towards us, and then there was an Asian guy in about his 40s carrying a knife about seven or eight inches long.

    Hunky Monster - Do not post in this thread again, you have an agenda in what you are posting which is derailing the thread.

    Whoever was taking some of those pictures of the victims need a serious word in their ear.

    While "Asian" in America and most other places means Chinese or thereabouts, in UK it's a euphemism for Pakistani or thereabouts.

    Shocking that an editor of a reputable site would take a decision to put some of them online at this stage.

    Professional photographers who have no business attending to injured people.

    We should absolutely not malign the photography of incidents like this. The outcome should be shown in all details, we should not whitewash.

    Eyewitness reports an "Asian" man. Is anyone surprised anymore?
