#6 Watched the video of the "Suspects" getting shot. Shoots one, who flops down and knee kicks out like a wuss, then the other with the gun (HOW!? There's no guns in England!!! /sarc) goes down. I yell "Shoot him again!", guess what they do? I hope both get the full treatment of Socialized Medicine over there. Full. Treatment. |

#4 Ramming an unsuspecting pedestrian with a car, and then two of you hacking his injured body with machetes until dead... "courage"? Only from a Muslim... |

#3 Courage? They outnumbered him 2:1, were armed with knives and a pistol and he was unarmed. They started their attack BY HITTING HIM WITH A CAR. They were cowards, start to finish, knowing they couldn't take him in a fair fight. |
