Mum Talked Down Woolwich Terrorists Who Told Her: 'We Want to Start a War in London Tonight'
The UK Telegraph ^ | Wednesday, May 22, 2013 | Claire Duffin

Exclusive: A cub scout leader confronted terrorists just seconds after they had beheaded a soldier asking them to hand over their weapons and warning them: "It is only you versus many people, you are going to lose."

A mother-of-two described tonight how she put her own life on the line by trying to persuade the soldier’s murderers to hand over their weapons.

Cub scout leader Ingrid Loyau-Kennett selflessly engaged the terrorists in conversation and kept her nerve as one of them told her: “We want to start a war in London tonight.”

Mrs Loyau-Kennett, 48, from Cornwall, was one of the first people on the scene after the two Islamic extremists butchered a soldier in Woolwich, south east London.

She was photographed by onlookers confronting one of the attackers who was holding a bloodied knife.

Mrs Loyau-Kennett was a passenger on a number 53 bus which was travelling past the scene, and jumped off to check the soldier’s pulse.

“Being a cub leader I have my first aid so when I saw this guy on the floor I thought it was an accident then I saw the guy was dead and I could not feel any pulse.

“And then when I went up there was this black guy with a revolver and a kitchen knife, he had what looked like butcher’s tools and he had a little axe, to cut the bones, and two large knives and he said 'move off the body’.

SNIP

Mrs Loyau-Kennett was not the only woman to show extraordinary courage. Others shielded the soldier’s body as the killers stood over them.

MPs praised the “extraordinary bravery” of the women and raised concerns about why it took armed police 20 minutes to arrive at the scene while people’s lives were at risk.

Those British women showed great courage today staring down jihadists holding their beheading blades in their blood stained hands while waiting forever for the police to arrive and save the day.

The terrorists wouldn’t want to start a war if the Brits were armed.

The plan behind this is the devil’s plan. Seems weird that they permitted themselves to be accosted by a couple of ladies after the attack. Maybe, his mission done, the demon flew off.

The terrorists wouldn’t want to start a war if the Brits were armed.

Years ago I read the autobiography of a black gang leader. His group was politically motivated, and believed that if they started a race war, the country would fall apart and they could up the pieces.

Charles Manson had the same crazy idea.

Anyway, the black gang leader decided to call the whole thing off. Why? Because the NRA existed.

I can understand the way this woman responded (though I can’t say I’d be that brave) and I can understand the people who ran away. But I cannot understand the people who stood there and videoed the slaughter.

It’s like they think they exist in another world and are just observers here.

She has bigger balls than the leaders who disarmed the British people. The same leaders who are wondering if this is an act of ‘terrorism’.

I’m guessing that even the knives and machetes the killers used were illegal to own in the neutered land of Churchill?

When terrorists are beheading a soldier the cops are only 20 minutes away. If that lady had a CCW and was carrying a .45 ACP this would be a very different story.

Why am I visualizing frying pans and rolling pins?

God Bless the ladies.

Ventilate those punks! The .45ACP has a good record in that regard.

This illustrates the problem in having a disarmed country with a lot of Islamists running around. The bystanders were lucky the filth didn’t continue killing until the police arrived.
