British Soldier Killed In Londonistan

[Nitro Express]

If the human race really was smart they would stop the petty fighting and organize together to take the big banks down. Hey Ahmad. They are playing us. Let's put these petty religious differences aside and go to Goldman Sachs and get the real problem. Look at us. They have us fighting each other on religion, over what political party is better, hell even the gay agenda is promoted because it divides people. That's what they want. They want us divided because it keeps us weak.

What I don't understand is these are British people , this whole speech about this going on everyday in his country is bullshit THIS is his country .
It's like the 7/7 bombers they wernt people from another country bringing terror here it's our own people .

[ELVIS]

the sad fact is that there are disenfranchised young men being indoctrinated into a hardline stance in their adopted countries by the CIA...

You're catching on, my friend...

[ashstralia]

elvis, please don't peddle your conspiracy shite here.

i ain't buying.

These guys are really not typical in any way of Muslims

Sorry man, I'm getting a bit tired of hearing that line over & over & over after every horrifying, disgusting act of murder.

[DLR Bridge]

Did I read right, that it took police a half hour to arrive on the scene? That's outrageous.

Sorry man, I'm getting a bit tired of hearing that line over & over & over after every horrifying, disgusting act of murder.

I get equally tired of people dropping into lazy thinking in response to such acts - and by lazing thinking I mean tarring every 'type' of person with the same brush or, worse still, falling into racism.

After events like this we naturally want explanations, but it is too easy to say 'it's because they're Muslim'. Why wasn't Brevik explained with 'it's because he's white'? Simply put, it is because it wouldn't work - he was untypical of white people, even those on the right-wing of the political spectrum.

But, yes, this was an horrific act. No arguments there.

[ashstralia]

i've read it was anywhere from 7 mins to 20..

quite often, it takes people a bit of time to process what they're witnessing and then actually make the call. then the dispatcher has to get the person to calm down and give details.

[binnie]

I think it depends whether the report in question is referring to the regular police or the armed response unit (i.e. with guns) who may have been slightly slower.

[vandeleur]

I think the police we there quickly it was getting an armed response team there that took the time . Ironic that that would be the case next to an army barrack.

One amazing thing if you can take any solice at times like these were these women who went over to the body and stopped the twats doing anything more to it and then approched the bastards. How brave and heroic were these women.

[DLR Bridge]

I think the police were there quickly...

Stupid question time. Do these policemen carry guns?

[vandeleur]

No british police dont carry guns , there are 12 armed response units on patrol in care in london at any one time. These guys have guns.

[DLR Bridge]

That's absolutely ridiculous. This day and age, anyone with a badge should be packing.

[vandeleur]

I dont agree with you but this probably isnt the time or the place and it wouldnt have helped in this tragedy.

Very heroic indeed (I sense if a man had approach them he would have been butchered; perhaps they didn't see women as a threat - still very heroic on their part).

Interesting that the EDL etc have made of the fact that woman who got off a bus to give the solider first aid was not 'British by birth'.......
