Holy crap, it is like the Daily Mail comments section in here.

Hardly. Where's the WOTS ALL THIS THEN?

Damn the torpedos Raz, full speed ahead. :lol:

:lol: No shit, huh? We're watching him go into a steep dive and firewall the throttles.

WHERE IS THE OVERRIDE? THE OVERRIDE?

No shit.

Raz, go take your meds, have some ice cream, watch some light-hearted fare like The Apple Dumpling Gang, and come back later.

You're being even more Razzy than usual the last couple days.

Fairly clear eyewitness testimony about what happened in the immediate aftermath of the murder:

Whose dick do I have to suck around here to get the Ignore feature turned back on? :)
I hate ignore features.  If Raz is such a problem, just tell CdM that he likes anime and alternate history maps and he'll drop the hammer on him.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

I'm not familiar with the immediate area of the attack, but have drunk in pubs and done a gig about 300 yards away. Plus I used to visit a friend who lived a mile away. 

It isn't an especially bad area, just somewhat rundown when I used to visit, but I'd guess parts of the 'town' have gone upmarket as part of the general gentrification/boom London's seen in the last 15-20 years.

'Strong indications that this is a terrorist incident'?  Doesn't sound firm enough to me.  Congress should hold hearings.

What?  You don't think it's a good idea for the GOP to obstruct everything that moves until they win the Presidency of the UK too?

Woolwich is still a bit of a rough area, and I don't think it's really started gentrifying yet...

Rough area or no rough area, it's still pretty fucked up to commit that kind of attack in broad daylight and stick around for video time with passersby.

Yeah.  No attempt to get away or anything.  Also, just pretty fucked up to see people in the background just standing around, like it was some traffic accident or something.  Nobody is trying to blindside the dude while he's talking to the camera, and nobody seems to be running away.

I can't say I wouldn't have brained the fucker with a tire iron during his pontification.  Or being armed? The situation would've be resolved accordingly.
