That's the kind of "fact" you decry us for asserting.

Maybe in Boston, NYC, or SF might someone get prosecuted for carrying a knife.

Nowhere else.

I don’t understand why the Brits are just standing there watching these guys. Apparently the jihadis were even able to cut up their victim’s body, and nobody did anything.

What happened to good old clubs and metal pipes?

One perp had a gun. No one else did.

I know, I was thinking the same thing. What the hell is wrong with these people?! They are just seating there with their thumbs up their asses or taping these terrorists instead of stopping them or jumping on them and kick the living shit out of them. Where the hell are the Brits with balls to do something? This was sickening!

Well, they’re standing there and they don’t look particularly afraid of him, and in fact he even asked some of them to take his picture (which they did), so they could probably have rushed him. The only people who even tried to do anything to help the soldier were some women who were nearby.

I’d say there’s a masculinity problem there.

Unfortunately, this isn’t your father’s Britain we’re dealing with here (mine either).

Back in the day London was the safest big city in the world. Damn shame non-discrimintion is now the ruling theory of the Western world....all cultures & peoples are the same. This is what you get believing that.

According to tweets from a witness, it was a rusty old revolver that blew up in his hand when he fired it.

But that, apparently, was enough to keep sidewalks full of Brits at bay.

Unfortunately not. Its shameful that it was a mom of two who had the guts to stand up to these savage beasts. Look at all those men in the background standing around with their arms crossed over their chests not even getting close....disgusting.

Everyone knows that the majority of UK police arent armed. That said, the UK firearms units are usually superb and are lightning fast, why today took 20m I dont know.

You do know that there is a sizeable black English/British community and has been since the 1940’s?. Do Americans really think all English/British people are white?.

Wow.. Just heard on Fox. Britain says “We’re not calling this a terrorist attack just yet”. LOL

This was Woolwich, a place where the two would be more likely to be assaulted with lattes.

There are still many places in the UK, esp the North, Scotland, Wales, NI, even parts of London, where these two would have been set upon. And the attack stopped.

Remember the attack on Glasgow.

Next year’s “CSI” episode about this is already being written, with the perps being crazed Tea Partiers incited to violence by an anti-gay priest.
