Go to London..but don't lose your head over it!

[Thinking Aloud]

Probably Taliban we've let in if it's Help For Heroes guy beheaded?

In Woolwich they won't, or shouldn't, rule out that it's religiously provoked.

The authorities will maybe blame him for wearing a British uniform in Britain?

Apparently (though I've only read one report) he was wearing a "Help for Heroes" t-shirt, rather than uniform, so ...

I've read two other reports that say the same. Any news on whether this was a targeted attack or completely senseless?

both...

[Rum]

They are talking about Islamicshit 'Lone Wolf' attacks. Looks like its the god squad.

[klr]

There is an ITV news clip which is now being broadcast by BBC and Sky which shows one of the attackers talking to a camera. Only part of the clip is being shown.

[PsychoSerenity]

Fuck. That's horrid. And they just stood around afterwards trying to get on cameras and justify what they had done.

[klr]

... wielding a knife or machete in a hand covered in blood.

[Rum]

You can see it here if you want. Not graphic but certainly unsettling.

"Machete-type knife"? Is that like "Main Battle Tank-type Smart Car"?

[Jason]

Looks like a cleaver and a butcher's knife. Not that it matters.

Its unlikely he was wearing one, soldiers aren't meant to wear them off duty partly due to terrorism but partly people like having a go at 'hard men'

Individuals have tried these attacks before but have been caught before put their plan into action

"British soldiers burn in hell"? Isn't that hate speech?

Oh wait, it's only hate speech if it's spoken by WASPs, not to WASPs.

I'm glad that he got his chance to speak.

It's not often you get to see just how incredibly stupid these people can be. That moron was just oozing stupidity.
It looks like they are just backward people who have been manipulated. I would want to find out who is pulling his retarded strings, and put them in the dock too.

I said this over at Ratskep, but I enjoyed posting it so much I'm going to post it over here too.

The guy in the video had both a meat cleaver and a pointy chef's knife. Why should anyone other than licensed butchers or professional chefs have access to these weapons? There is no necessity for a home cook to have either. Actually, there is no necessity for anyone to cook at home at all. Being surrounded by sharp cutting instruments and heavy cooking pans is incredibly dangerous, anyone could snap at any moment. All it would take is one bad day at work, one argument with the bus driver and chop-chop bam-bam, there go the neighbors. Then there are vegetable peelers, which can take off an entire layer of skin, and gas cookers exploding and taking out scores of innocent bystanders. No, the only sane course of action is to immediately ban all home cooking other than microwave meals prepared by professionals under controlled conditions. Those wishing to cook as a hobby could join a cooking club, and after rigorous screening and testing be allowed to keep deadly utensils in a locked safe on the club premises.

If you want to be consistent with the Boston thread, you should say something about how the victim deserved it because... just deserts/proper comeuppance/what goes around comes around/etc.





D'oh! What was I thinking? I guess the best way for you be consistent would be to find some way to blame the Americans for this violence!
