There seems to be a rise in their use for attacks. Still, think if the guy had had a gun instead of a knife to attack the police. There would have been way more casualties than one stabbing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot more cars on the road than guns (in the UK,) and no one suspects a car approaching a Government building. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark_Grey Posted March 22, 2017 #30 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Do we have any information on the attacker? The longer the BBC waits to publish that information, the more some people are going to take their silence as a confirmation. Myself included.

I was just taking a pee... and am fairly sure the news said the dead guy/terrorist was black with a goatee beard But I was in another room.... not that the news has run any different stories in the minute I was in the bathroom As usual with breaking stories....the news is in a frenzy and we will get the facts..... eventually, along with the terrorists ID 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So how could the SAS, however super they may be, or Elite Anti Terror Police, or plain ordinary coppers or soldiers striding about with machine guns, prevent things like this happening? They could only ever respond to it after it's happened. They wouldn't be a deterrent if the perpetrator was expecting to die anyway, would they. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this does have all the signs of suicide by cop. It may well have been politically motivated, but I think we could very well find out that the man had severe mental health issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Lilly Posted March 22, 2017 Popular Post #47 Share Posted March 22, 2017 No one should ever, ever, ever just accept that terrorism is just "part and parcel of living in a major city". I very much hope that the current mayor of London is voted out for having voiced such a stupid and callous remark. Just to point out, Muslims are killed (in horrendous numbers no less) by these Extreme Radical Jihadists. No one of any religion should accept these Extreme Radical Jihadist murderers as just being an acceptable part of living...least of all the innocent 21st century modern Muslims. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grooming the public to accept terrorism as part of life is unacceptable and reeks of an alternative motive, IMO. 5 minutes ago, hetrodoxly said: Who said they're lying? ...I'll pretend you aren't trying to give them a pass here.
