Sounds like some sensitivity training is called for.

You just can’t trust an Amish fellow with a knife.

And here I thought stabbing was illegal, especially knife stabbing was illegal.

And imagine if a white American man (oops! I mean white male USian) had committed the act what The Guardian would have reported.

Not sure what Sharia Law has to say on the subject.

Looks to have happened at 10:33 p.m.

It might be ten hours until we learn more than ‘knife’ and a ‘man.’

Luckily the British have strict gun control laws and no one was hurt or killed. Oh. Uh, never mind. Move along.

Waiting to hear if the woman who died at the scene was an attempted beheading

And the winner is...”mental health”, yaayy, who went with deranged madman?

Yes, the police spokesman said he is just a madman, nothing to see here folks, although as an after-thought maybe terrorism might be a line they will examine, you know just to rule it out of course.

Oh, and the police have advised Londonders not to be alarmed when they see an increased presence of armed officers on the streets tomorrow.

Because as we all know the usual reaction to a random night-time attack by a lone nutcase is to flood the streets with gun-toting anti-terrorist cops the next day.

Just a nutter, no terrorism. That’s the police line and they will stick to it.

No evil guns were used, so it is okay. Tomorrow will be business as usual. Nothing to see here Mate, so move along.

Yes. The midnight news mentioned “possible mental problems.”

On the plus side, this could could move most muslims into mental illness portion of the NICS form.

Islam is a war plan... and likely genetically inbred...

It has been reported elsewhere that the man was dark skinned and possibly of north African descent. Also, Britain’s counter-terrorism authorities, the division of Scotland Yard known as SO15, have been called in.

I heard about this attack a short while ago on the radio. They twice said the suspect was “a Norwegian man”. I knew better, as do all Freepers.
