Of course violence is sometimes legitimate. If a Kurd had assassinated Saddam, would you have said that was an injustice?

You know me S6S.

Because a second man was injured, and was grappling with the assailant before the gun was drawn. Could be wrong and that man was defending the MP though.

Huh? I read this on the BBC about 3 hours ago, before this thread appeared...

she hardly gassed his people though
And I've already said I don't approve of this act, so why are you trying to contrast the two? I was speaking in general terms.

Thompson and Raoh, show some respect. This is a mother that got shot multiple times at close range and is in critical condition.
I don't think anyone deserves to be shot and stabbed (apart from kiddy fiddlers), you seem to be saying various people who have been doing their job whether that be to your liking or not deserve to be shot (Hunt and now Blair).
If you don't like certain people, you don't go out and shoot them for doing their job.
What a strange view.

Eye witness:
"I could hear a loud popping noise that sounded like a balloon burst - a loud balloon - and when I looked round there's a man stood there in his 50s with a white baseball cap on and a jacket with a gun, an old fashioned looking gun in his hand, and he shot this lady once and then he shot her again, she fell to the floor, lent over shot her once more in the face area."
Hope that's not accurate - sounds very bad indeed.

I cannot account for other peoples feelings, nor is everyone due respect. But I rarely go out of my way to upset someone.

Police investigating reports suspect shouted 'Britain First'
Police are also investigating reports the suspect shouted “Britain First”, a possible reference to the far-right political party, as he launched the attack, Vikram Dodd, Nazia Paveen and Rob Booth report.
Graeme Howard, 38, who lives in nearby Bond Street, told the Guardian he heard the man shout “Britain First” before the shooting and during the arrest.
Police were understood to be talking to at least one witness who claimed to have heard the attacker shout words about the right-wing group, and the motivation for the incident will form part of their inquiry
“I heard the shot and I ran outside and saw some ladies from the cafe running out with towels,” he said. “There was loads of screaming and shouting and the police officers showed up.
“He was shouting Britain First when he was doing it and being arrested. He was pinned down by two police officers and she was taken away in an ambulance.”

If that eyewitness account is correct, I'd be surprised
That's pretty much a certain since they seem to have caught him

Obviously mentally ill, that's the normal response isn't it? Shot three times, doesn't sound good at all 
Soldato
TBF i would be very surprised if he wasn't mentally ill

I have thanks. Just airing that had it been a more reviled MP I would not be so sympathetic. Nothing wrong with that.
