    Ah stop....
    Come on the **** you have NO idea and nor do the cops to what extent this chap was armed. Why take a chance when its clearly proven minutes earlier this person is out to kill.

    Does he have a firearm?
    Does ha have a bomb vest?
    is he a suicide bomber?

    Shoot the vermin. This is not some innocent by stander being apprehended resisting arrest this is a man out to cause serious pain.

    They just cancelled Christmas for him.

    Didn't look like there was a "hands up" request. Pulled the other lad off and then bang.

    If we was "just" carrying a knife, and from what i could see, he was on the deck, i'm not sure deadly force may have been required in this particular situation.

    But no doubt we'll find out soon enough

    Let's not forget that Corbyn doesn't want these attackers dead.

    He didn't want Al Baghdadi dead.

    He said it was a "tragedy" that Osama bin Laden was killed instead of arrested.

    He frequently met Islamic jihadists throughout his career, and always sides with the UK's enemies.

    Johnson needs to play this situation to his advantage. We cannot have Jeremy Corbyn in No. 10.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 83 ✭✭dadad231


    Now now now ... do not assume the attacker is Muslim, because the leftists will call you "racist".

    And then stay quiet when you are prooved correct - AGAIN!!!

    WOW

    Until it IS proven, try not to surmise about the identity of the alleged attacker

    100+ stabbings in London this year, Muslims do all of them?

    Or do we only comment on those?

    There was more than a hint of racism off his post.

    I was going to point out that the majority of fatal stabbings in London are carried out by black males under the age of 25.

    But WHERE is the outrage


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 68,317 ✭✭✭✭seamus


    Shooting on the ground is going to be an issue.

    We all know the London Met don't have a good record when it comes to proper discharge of firearms against people with the wrong skin colour.

    This one won't help given that the video is already in the public domain and no amount of false statements from the officers involved can change that.

    Nice try.

    99 times out of 100, mass stabbing attacks against random members of the public are carried out by bearded Islamic lunatics.

    What you just said is as ridiculous as saying "not every car crash is caused by a Muslim" in response to an Islamic jihadist driving a car into a Christmas Market.

    Just pointing out that appeals to authority aren't always useful.

    I'm not sure what that has to do with what I posted. I didn't say the cop should be in for a bad time.
    Does he have a firearm?
    Does ha have a bomb vest?
    is he a suicide bomber?
    Many people have been saved by bystanders jumping armed people. If anything I think it's a pity the cop was recorded shooting him.
    Shoot the vermin. This is not some innocent by stander being apprehended resisting arrest this is a man out to cause serious pain.
    I don't have a gun.
    I was posting about bystanders, not cops.

    London probably has 50 million visitors a year(mad guess out of blue) ten people killed in terrorist attacks would not even register. More people probably killed by tractors in Norway last year. Is Norway off the cards too?

    No, it's been established in this thread that it's a muslim. It's always a muslim


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Who's done this?

    The point is that it's a very subtle defence of Islamic jihadism to say that "oh we shouldn't assume attacks are Islamic-related", when clearly they are.

    It's a form of denial.

    It's the far right, they are the biggest global threat to the security of the world right now.

    I know this because the guardian and BBC have told me this.
    Some things to blame here.
    Donald Trump
    Nigel Farage
    White men!!!!

    Thank god these lunatics don’t have access to guns. Can you imagine how many more people would have been hurt or killed if he had something like an AR 15?

    No one.
    Some will try to defend that particular ideology shared by the terrorists and non terrorists just in case some feelings get hurt. Only that particular ideology, when it happens to be the other one, then it's all fair game.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,950 ✭✭✭ChikiChiki


    Brave, but stupid nonetheless. Cops will tell you never to intervene

    Flawed logic. Not stupid at all. I'd like to think most people would act similarly I'm such a situation. The alternative is far worse.

    Someone mentioned Grenfell when I read your post. I was thinking the same thing. Sometimes given the context of a situation the authority advice is not necessarily the best option.

    WTF.... you're taking that from the audio on a mobile phone 100 metres away. For all you know the police officer has been continually asking him to stop struggling and resisting. In the video he's still struggling with the public apprehending him.

    Ye, lets process him, seek insanity, cost the tax payer a couple of million over a 20 year period of psych evals only to be released as a reformed prisoner who's found god and offend again.

    Shoot the vermin.

    You have no more idea than any of us as to who it was. You can speculate as much as you wish elsewhere, but not on this site

    And that applies to everyone. Once details are confirmed feel free to discuss them, but do so civilly and stay on topic. Do not try and bring the likes of Johnson and Corbyn into this unless it's commenting on specific references to this incident

    I didn't lay claim to knowing either. I made an assumption based on what i saw in that video. The cop could be a Hero.

    You want the head honchos alive if possible in most circumstances.

    And the bin Laden 'buried at sea' thing was a tad too convenient.

    What the hell must happen in a persons life that they end up trying to stab people on London Bridge before being shot by the cops. Beggars belief.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,420 ✭✭✭splinter65


    Met police statement: attacker is dead. Was wearing a hoax bomb. It is a terrorist incident. He had to die.

    The incident started in a premises. Met police shot him dead after public pinned him down. He was wearing a hoax bomb.

    Well done to everyone. Public and police. They all put their lives on the line in order to save many more. They didn’t know the device was a hoax.

    Good enough for him. One less piece of **** wandering the streets. When these fanatics start to put innocent life’s at risk, in my eyes their rights go out the window.

    We should defend our way of life to an extent that any attempt on it is crushed, so that any adversary will never make such an attempt in the future.

    The cop is not a hero. The cop did his job. Go on London bridge attacking people with a big knife and a hoax suicide vest? Resist arrest? Prepare to be shot in the head.
