Incident on London Bridge

No new news on the suspects? Are they still at large?

They've most likely escaped, but hopefully, CCTV will get enough images of them to have revealed their identities. They should release the pics and let us all loose on them.
 
To be honest. I think there should be no coverage at all. Why put yourself and others in danger, just for some stupid exclusive live coverage. Let the fecking police do their work. Let the police hold one press conference, when it is all said and done. Report and that´s it. Don´t give these assholes a platform. That would help a little.
That would be ideal, but with social media making all of us amateur journalists I'm glad we have the likes of the BBC to filter reports and show some restraint in their work.
 
Why is there such hate and evil in this world? :( Our country feels so vulnerable right now.
 
The people in question might very well be religious. They just don\t agree to your image of religion.
you don't get people saying "this is for Buddha" do you? guy on sky confirms attacker shouted "this is for allah"
Aren\t buddhists killing muslims in Myanmar? Every person has the right to interpret religion the way they fecking want to. Atheists tend to follow logic and morals that takes humanity forward.

Reported on BBC, unconfirmed reports state that 2 men were shot. I admit normally they tend to report of any arrests by now if they've been made.
 
The reporter is suggesting we could go back up to critical, whilst this doesn't mean a great deal surely we can't keep flicking between the two? They'll come a point where we have to stay at critical.

I'd be concerned about mistaken identity if they did that.
 
Heavily armed police seen. Not the standard armed police or the counter terror police. These guys had some advanced weaponry i've never seen before.
Given the current climate id not be surprised if they arent coppers.
 
Someone could do that at any time. These people are mentally ill, practising a perverted version of what they perceive to be Islam.
The thing we need to figure out is why all these mentally ill people are so drawn to islam. It seems almost all of these attacks by mentally ill people are done in the name of islam so figuring that out will get us a lot closer to the solution.
 


To be fair, a stabbing in London is by no means unusual, it's not a huge coincidence that it happened at the same time and obviously it's going to be linked and cause panic.

Yep, I think it's inevitable. It'll be more prolonged this time round I think.

A lot are perpetrated by ISIS, but there's plenty of examples where this is not the case (2 such examples posted above).

For example, Non-muslims commit more than 90% of attacks in America: http://www.globalresearch.ca/non-mu...0-of-all-terrorist-attacks-in-america/5333619

I agree. It's awful but considering the ease of which the incidents tonight can be replicated and the recency of the MEN attack then it may well be considered critical for a while.

These groups target the mentally ill and radicalise them. It's not a case of being naturally drawn to Islam, it's a case of the terroists identifying them and grooming them.
 
Anyone think that the police could have been tipped off given their almost immediate response time?
 
You'll have to excuse him, he's ignorant and stupid.

I know, it's just that I can't help myself. I've bitten my tongue several times today, but there's always another idiot post out there to make me engage in this futility in a weak moment of believing that people might change their tune if informed.

More fool me.

2 minutes right and it was central London so I think it was just reactionary.
 
Any facts to back this up then?

Are we really doing this? Are we just chalking it up to unfortunate people that are mentally unwell carrying out these attacks?

It's always "in the name of Allah", which I know annoys the muslim communities no end because this is not how they view their religion. But it is what it is. Everybody of all race/religion is against this shit, but if they are doing it in the name of the Muslim religion then that's what it is. It doesn't mean they are right. If they were white Christians then we'd condemn it just the same. But we wouldn't hide from this fact or be ashamed to mention it. Its a oroblem that we all have to deal with.
 
From 1980-2005, it's probably higher now.

I hadn't read that sorry. But I'm sure I've heard the CIA say that you are more than 50 times more likely do experience a shooting/another form of terrorism (can't quite remember) than an ISIS attack.
