Act of terrorism in UK

[panntastic]

A sad day in British history for sure.
May the soldier rest in peace

A man reported to be a serving soldier is dead and two people have been shot in Woolwich, south east London, after what Sky sources understand is being treated as a terrorist attack.

Dozens of weapons - including a number of knives - and pools of blood could be seen on the ground, where a man wearing a Help for Heroes T-shirt is said to have been attacked.

Sky news are saying it was a serving soldier yes

[krugerr]

By the sounds of the reports they're making, they're going to probably suspend the officer that did the shooting, and he could possibly face charges if he can't prove the threat to life was immediate.

Commander from Metropolitan police even stressed a single officer shot.

Bastards. Wondering what they're doing in that emergency terrorist meeting.

COBRA sounds an amazing meeting to be in but I just heard it stands for
Cabinet Office Board Room A
Not ninjas and assassins like visions a Cobra meeting conjures up.

It was a female officer that took the shot as one of the assailants was walking towards her with a knife apparently

Hmm... Walking toward her with a knife... Was it raised? I remember doing my weapons training and they were very very specific about Rules of Engagement. In one scenario it only counts as imminent threat when the knife was raised to strike.

Cabinet Office Board Room A... I was expecting super solders and ninjas as well

I understand what your saying about R.O.E but what if he was holding it in a knife fighting grip with blade down protecting the artery in the wrist
Its a crazy world but did she shoot to kill?

Fair point! It's a fine line, we only had basic weapons training, I guess armed response police are better trained to gauge such threat.
It should be shoot to kill though, so she either chose to disobey that, or she needs more practice. The news is saying she fired "a number of shots".

Itv news had a video of one of the killers speaking about Allah with hands soaked in blood, he had a machete and a knife in his hand. Poor bloke who got killed had a help the heroes t-shirt on. I'm sickened, it's an absolute disgrace

I can categorically state that I would not have stood and watched, filmed or ignored this.

It was a long time before they went to the car to grab the gun. More than long enough to detain these males, hard.
They managed to butcher him, then circle his body, dance and shout before anyone really started to pay attention by the looks of it. I'm disgusted at the public that were there.
If you have the capability to help, then you have the responsibility to help. I guess I could rant for ages. It's just disgusting, it really gets to me, especially being ex-forces.

[bigsiv]

I would like to think I would have done the same but everyone's different and I bet the witnesses where shit scared seeing that unfold. It makes me sick thinking about it. That poor man

With you on that mate
I would let a bully pick on a kid in the street never mind this sick shit
Makes you sick to the pit of your stomach

Agreed. I'm far from a 'hardman' but I just don't understand how anyone can stand and watch that. I can't watch bullying in my club without feeling enough rage to slap the guy. This makes my blood boil.

[stocky121]

Sad day indeed. Looks like they just hung around after the attack. And wanted to be shot more then likely to be made a marter.

Exactly. The presence of the gun, and brandishing it around, they wanted the armed response.

[energizer bunny]

Awful news!.......I am devastated for the young soldier and his poor family!......it makes me so angry that this can happen in a high street with other people about! that poor lad!!.......I have two brothers in the army so this is really hard to grasp.

What pisses me off more society today would rather film it happening than intervene
That to me is disgusting
I'm sure that there was a case where somebody was sentenced for filming an attack on a young lad
They were trialled as an accomplice because they didn't hand the footage in to police

damn right!! if any adult stands back and videos an assault they want punished! people get scared and hide or don't help, fair enough not everyone is capable BUT videoing it is sad..........I hate it that our soldiers cant even walk down there own streets without being persecuted! I am deeply saddened by this.

[RaginCajun]

Nope nothing like that
Even a knife over 1.5 inches blade length is illegal here mate

[stocky121]

You can own a gun under licence not meny people have one but think its only certain shotguns and riffles but not 100% hopefully someone else can chime in. But nothing like the states.

Oh yeah for hunting etc but the likely hood somebody who has one passing on that street and was actually off hunting at the time would be like a billion to 1

Lets hope the cvnts don't die of their wounds and they get locked up with the 'appropriate' criminals on their wing.

I'm not sure they'd last that long

[krugerr]

I sure as hell hope not. Prisons tend to have there own penalty system. Especially when it comes to pedophiles. Remember Ian Huntley? I hope these guys are tortured before death.

A very sad day indeed, rip to the soldier...

In bold will never happen and is complete bollocks, i really don't know who makes this shit up?? That i remember off the top of my head there have been 3 instances of the police shooting dead innocent people and i mean completely innocent people. No police man has ever been charged or even disciplined for those shootings....

[Euroholic]

Im not even english and this angers me.. I truly hate these extremists!!!! Government's need to start taking a eye for a eye aproach such as carpet bombing entire citys in these terrorists homeland I bet this guy are not even born in england so who knows how long they planned this attack for. Multi cultism is never 100% perfect. Rest in peace soilder.

Yeah I never thought of that it would just turn them into martyrs
It's like we're just so defenceless against these idiots and I have a feeling we will start to see the British population start to fight back by that I mean groups like the EDL and the NF coupled with the BNP will start some sort of vigilante war against all non British persons
