#1 The ONLY Guaranteed way to Paradise per the Koran. Kill an infidel, jump out of the van with only knives is a sure way of them also immediately being killed thus entering paradise after fulfilling this basic requirement.

The ultimate blessing for them to now being in the West around so many infidels, their tickets to Paradise.

#2 PM May has been clueless in understanding the terror threat to Britain

Of course, Corbyn is actually on the side of the terrorists.

Heck of a choice.

#5 It's about time to start deporting entire families back to their originating Moslem shitholes. If Junior kills somebody, even holding up a liquor store, then Maw, Paw, brother Abu, sister Abyss, the whole shebang should be first investigated in case they need spend a few years in the tower -- can you see Traitor's Gate from there. Everybody else goes unless they're willing to eat a ham sandwich and swill a few pints.

#7 The same pointless bather we get every time from politicians, etc. I'll note Trump is the only one proposing to actually do something that might make a difference.

Last night I happened to arrive at the comments section of the American ABC's article on the London attack. The Trump derangement was quite something. All the way to people saying it must be a false flag attack arranged by Trump.

#9 Thanks for staying on top of this for us TW

You are very welcome, dear Besoeker. Ryuge posted the breaking report yesterday, and in the discussion several other sources were mentioned. The follow-up is easier.

I used to think we should only punish those directly involved, but the family and neighbourhood connections of those involved in the ISIS supercell that planned and executed the Paris and Brussels attacks, followed by what we've learnt about the Libyan Abedi family after the Manchester Arena, has taught me otherwise. That the barbershop-owning Abedi cousins thus far appear clean and Westernized underlines it for me.

#16 Concur with Fred. Best to get on with it now before it's too late. Best to get it done before it can only be done by means of another holocaust. With their birthrate so much higher than ours they will eventually outnumber us in our own countries. Then they will either convert us or kill us.

I am not preaching hate, I am preaching reality. I don't want another holocaust. When you see two boys fighting on a playground what do you do? You separate them, hopefully before either one of them gets hurt.

I've heard it theorized that liberals have smaller amygdalas than conservatives. It doesn't mean conservatives are cowards, it means conservatives are quicker to recognize existential threats. Europe is currently facing the most serious existential threat since WWII.

The facts are there for everyone to see. People who study history should have been able to see it a long time ago. We cannot coexist with people who want us dead.

And I don't wanna hear that only a few of them want us dead. Enough of them do and you can't tell the ones that do from the ones that don't. There is no benefit to be gained from letting them live among us, only danger. Get 'em all outta here before we have to kill them all.

#17 Only 8 minutes from the time the attack started to ending. Very quick response by the police to detect the attack, identify the perps and terminate all three. Exc lent work on their part - deplorable that it was necessary.

Families and neighborhoods are important what is being taught in the Sunni mosque and the literature that is being distributed there is key. If it is Wahabi or Ibn al Tahmiya or if Qutbs' Milestones is out there - then you are always a minute away from an attack. Most if not all of these folks radicalize openly...rarely in secret.

#20 It's little more than a Schutzstaffel rebirth. The SS had to go and these murdering Islamic foks have to go as well. The task can be undertaken now, or it can be undertaken with the loss of tens of millions of lives at sometime in the future. The west must once again decide.

#21 OK. So the British govt does not allow concealed carry or even possession of handguns. You can still defend yourself in the bar. Get everyone to throw bottles and glasses at the perps. Chairs, Guinness mirrors, everything one get ones hands on. Use chairs as shields. There is a lot you can do to help yourself. Remember:

  • MINDSET

  • TRAINING

  • GEAR



You want to remain a sheep, or be a sheepdog?
In the big picture, Fred has the idea. You need to break up the enclaves. Imams that encourage hate and attacks: deport them, tear down the mosques to vacant lots. Restrict movement in the enclaves. You jihadis want to go medieval? We'll show you what medieval means. Jihadis will respect power. The London Mayor also needs his idle screw adjusted.

#22 Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;
Or close the wall up with our English dead.
In peace there's nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility:
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger....

#23 8 police fired 50 bullets to stop London attackers, shot & wounded member of public - police chief

“Our initial assessment is in the region of 50 rounds, in the region of 50 bullets were fired by those eight officers. The three attackers were shot dead," Rowley said

Only one question, how many of those bullets actually hit their targets? And no, I don't think it's an overreaction.

Rowley also discussed the unfortunate accidental shooting of a member of the public.

"As the officers confronted the terrorists – and were shot – a member of the public also suffered gunshot wounds. Although we do not believe the injuries to critical in nature, they are in hospital receiving medical attention. We will of course keep you updated on that.”

"They"? Something they're not telling us?

Some actually did that, Alaska Paul. The Daily Mail, of course, has the story here. One bar was spared because a woman locked the front door, and the attacker couldn't break through the windows. It was ported that a gentleman -- and I do apologize for not being able to find the story -- apparently followed the attackers on foot as they progressed, then pointed them out to the arriving police. More responding as a pack, not a herd.

#25 I deserve the embarassment I just earnt by linking to that article without rereading it. The gentleman who threw barware was also the one who followed the jihadis and pointed them out to the police. My apologies.

#26 To Fred and TW's point, deport the immediate family members and maybe cousins except those that have assimilated, including not wearing Jammie and allowing their daughters to date westerners.

As for fighting back, a bottle held by the neck and rapped against a bar edge often makes a wicked knife, although it seems the attackers were wearing protective gear.

#30 Questions I have, keeping in mind the "fog of war".

What's with all the reported gunshots on London Bridge? Was there actual gunshots or was it echos from Borough Market?

How long did it take for the LEOs to realize the reports of a forth and fifth persons were false?

What were the controlled explosions and why were they performed? It's pretty obvious that they were not done on the three, now dead, suspects.

#38 The U.S.' experience with Muslims (and, therefore, Islam) goes back a ways. Per Wiki:

"Until the American Declaration of Independence in 1776, British treaties with the North African states protected American ships from the Barbary corsairs. Morocco, which in 1777 was the first independent nation to publicly recognize the United States, in 1784 became the first Barbary power to seize an American vessel after the nation achieved independence. The Barbary threat led directly to the United States founding the United States Navy in March 1794. While the United States did secure peace treaties with the Barbary states, it was obliged to pay tribute for protection from attack. The burden was substantial: in 1800 payments in ransom and tribute to the Barbary states amounted to 20% of United States federal government's annual expenditures.[23] The United States conducted the First Barbary War in 1801 and the Second Barbary War in 1815 to gain more favorable peace terms; it ended the payment of tribute. But, Algiers broke the 1805 peace treaty after two years, and refused to implement the 1815 treaty until compelled to do so by Britain in 1816."

See also Brian Kilmeade's book, "Thomas Jefferson and the Tripoli Pirates: The Forgotten War That Changed American History." (Hint: It covers the origin of "To the shores of Tripoli.").

#39 Keep in mind that Keith Ellison used Jefferson''s Koran when he was sworn into office as a Congressman. Hint: The latter used it during the war with the Barbary pirates; the former didn't use it to honor Jefferson.
