London Bridge Incident

My cousin was part of the crowd at Borough Market last night, thankfully she's safe and well. The summer of slaughter continues and we never learn any lessons.
 
I'd cancel the election. It's not really important to me in times like this. How a paper is digusting " for this suggestion I don't understand. .?

  • 2013, 29 April to 12 July: Pavlo Lapshyn attacks. Lapshyn, a Ukrainian student and right-wing extremist, stabbed Mohammed Saleem, a Birmingham resident to death on 29 April. He later admitted to police that he wished to start a "race war".[31] Lapshyn later detonated a home-made bomb outside a mosque in Walsall on 21 June. 150 homes were evacuated but no person was injured.[31] On 28 June Lapshyn detonated a second home-made bomb near a mosque in Wolverhampton, and attacked a mosque in Tipton with an improvised explosive device containing nails on 12 July. Friday prayers were delayed that day, and so his intended victims were still inside. Laphsyn was later sentenced to serve a minimum of 40 years.[32][33][34]

I do understand the need for these horrible events to be reported, but at the same time I do fear the scale of reporting is counter productive and risks actually breading more such events.

Imagine if such events were reported far less. We didn't have X hours non-stop coverage. Newspapers didn't have front page spreads day after day after day. And instead people were informed by normal TV/radio news coverage (or as good as). If people wanted to find out more, go to internet sites (eg: BBC).

I fear this non-stop coverage is giving these individuals/organisations exactly what they want... And a better approach might be to get the media to drastically reduce the "advertising"?



ps: Have to be thankful our gun laws are as successful as they are... Imagine if these guys had knives and guns!
 
Muslims are being tainted by the few 'moronic' ones.

Police cannot be everywhere so how can they stop these attacks? They cant.

People need to be vigilant but that means keeping an eye out for any muslim on the street!!

How do you know someone is a muslim i hear you ask? Well, the traditional ones do stand out! But, its these cowardly fanatical ones that could be very difficult to spot.

Yes instead we should just get used to our children bleeding put cold and alone on the concrete floors. Hell their only white children after all.

Maybe we should start mandatory Islamic classes in all schools and mass convert to Islam. That's what they want after all.

Or we could ban wahhabism being imported into the country, target Isis online propergander.(If anon can do this I'm sure our security teams can)

Or eventually we will start to see an actual backlash, I wonder how much violence can the British people take before enough is enough and mosques start going up in flames?

so hang on cars kill about 2,000 people in the uk a year, you got used to that, buit something that kills less than 100 you want to fundamentally change our way of life for the worse?

very bad analogy Tefal.

not an analogy, the actual literal conditions we're in right now.

we accept vast numbers of deaths from various sources without banning thing (alcohol, cigarettes, sugar etc) yet a very minor risk from some terrorists and people are already calling for Nazi germany style internment of tens of thousands of people without trail.

Any Muslim leaders condemned the attack yet?
Click to expand...

Why wouldn't they? Countless Muslim leaders condemned the Manchester attack, it just doesn't fit the media's narrative to report on it yet.

But yes, they have condemned it:

Harun Khan, Secretary General of the Muslim Council of Britain, said: “I am appalled and angered by the terrorist attacks at London Bridge and Borough Market, in my home city. These acts of violence were truly shocking and I condemn them in the strongest terms.

That was from a cursory google search, perhaps you should get your face out of the Daily Mail.
 
This kind of terrorism is impossible to stop.

At my place in the Highlands the nearest bobby is 45 mins away, Colin the bobby would turn up with a truncheon and best intentions.

Unlikely an attack would happen here but there a large hotel 15 miles away that's a soft target. Who knows....

Last time I checked most people don't go out in there cars and purposefully aim to murder people.....

Also these people weren't killed, they didn't die they were murdered. Pretty sure if we had a group of non religious people murdering children wed soon all be raising a fuss...
