Terror attack in London, pedestrians hit on London bridge

It's getting harder to know how to respond to these, emotionally or verbally. But I will admit I'm getting tired of the increasingly hollow platitudes that I'm sure will be circling about shortly: love not hate, je suis Borough Market, and so on.

That's some power. Being tired of something before it happens!

I guess you're being intentionally obtuse for some reason, not to mention being a dick.

A photo released to the bbc apparently taken within borough market show a policeman standing over a living attacker who appeared to be wearing some type of explosive/cannister laden jacket. In the background is another policeman looking down on a possible shot/killed attacker.

Knifeman shouted 'this is for Allah' - reports

An eyewitness on London Bridge, told the BBC he saw three men stabbing people indiscriminately, shouting "this is for Allah".

He told how he saw a van driving on the pavement with people running out of the way, before three men got out.

"They literally just started kicking them, punching them, they took out knives. It was a rampage really," he said.

These types of attacks are all but impossible to detect and plan for.

Chilling testimony from witness
He was at a pub with some mates, decided to leave and get something to eat at around 10pm. Walks in the direction of London Bridge, passing under the train bridge. He saw someone who had been stabbed, then saw 3 "Muslim guys" running up, started stabbing a girl. They then stabbed someone else.
He then started shouting at everyone to run, went back towards the Borough. They then stabbed the bouncer at the Tavern (pub). They were running in all the pubs, bars, stabbing everyone.

Who knew its good for following events as they unfold.

Get off your high horse.   

Yeah, if only there were decent outlets to follow live stories....

You add so much to discussions, you are valued.

First Manchester now this.... If the timing is coincidental these murderers are very lucky.
I really smell an attempt to sway the election in a xenophobic direction

It works in their favour.  Resentment against muslims increases, more recruits for ISIS.

I mean sure. I was just checking to see if Tyr meant that or some kind of sinister false flag plot or something.

It's known to be key to their overall masterplan.

dar-al-harb and dar-al-islam. They're just doing what their religion commands them to do. And the end goal is to bring everything into the dar-al-islam, with or without the consent of the others.
