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.

‘We Want to Start a War in London Tonight’

I, for one, agree with the Koranimal. Let’s start the inevitable war now before the numbers are no longer on our side.

Why do you want to waste a pound of perfectly good bacon?! Entrails or some other unusable waste should be just as effective.

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.

While British men stood around scratching their asses.

Uh I doubt it or he would be beheaded in the street. My main question is if the barracks was just nearby where were all the other soldiers? You would think in 20 minutes they would have come running out and killed these Aholes.

Try to picture this happening outside of Ft. Benning. These guys would have been swiss cheese.

have you forgotten fort hood and that fiasco?

That was on a US base which is a gun free zone, reminds me of the line in Dr. Strangelove,

“Genltemen what are you doing? You can’t fight here. For Gods sake this is the war room!” saith President Merkin to Buck Turgedson while tussling with the Russian ambassador.

Its speculation and still not confirmed that he was a soldier. He probably was a civilian volunteer for Help for Heroes and thats why these cowards killed him.

Very brave of them. Where in the hell were the men?

Where in the hell were their guns? . . . Oh, that's right, they're unarmed so they can't shoot these moooooslum bastards . . . no self-defense . . . not even with the cops . . .

Maybe someday soon they’ll revise their gun laws.

If this were to happen in FL or TX, those savages would be dead.

We don’t know yet if he even was a soldier. He was wearing a t-shirt with the name of a charity that helps British soldiers and was just outside Woolwich Barracks, an Army base. He was run down by the islamoscum with a car first, then hacked to pieces.

Yeh you are probably right. A god fearing CCW civilian would have shot them.

Just goes to show if they can’t get a gun they will kill with a machete and a knife. Paging Piers Morgan.

I certainly hope no one thinks military members are allowed to defend themselves. Hooray for violence prevention

What the stories don't tell you is that the class teaches you to run and hide

That's right America, your "911 Force in readiness" that is "First to Fight" is supposed to run and hide... and as a last resort, fight back with anything other than a firearm in an "active shooter" scenario. You may have seen or heard about the Department of Homeland Stupidity video of people cowering under desks....this training is similar. They actually pay contractors with YOUR TAX DOLLARS for this MANDATORY "training."

And people expect the Brits to come to the rescue of this individual......they are more emasculated than "we" are.

What a joke.

She not only showed great courage, but she showed all the men standing around who had the biggest set of balls....those involved with Scouting who teach and live its principles.

As one of my Scotsman friends says “there’s a reason they didn’t name an anti-personel mine after a French sword”.
