BREAKING NEWS: Labour MP Jo Cox DIES after being shot three times in the street near her office
dm ^

Posted on 06/16/2016 10:36:15 AM PDT by traumer

A Labour MP has died after she was shot three times and repeatedly stabbed in a shocking attack as she arrived at her constituency surgery. Mother-of-two Jo Cox, 41, was airlifted to hospital after a gunman opened fire on her in Birstall near Leeds.

Witnesses said the man was at the office before she arrived and shot her three times, once in the head, before stabbing her as she lay on the ground. Her husband Brendan tweeted a photo of his wife two hours after she died from catastrophic injuries. He later urged people to 'fight against the hatred that killed her.' In a statement, he said: 'Today is the beginning of a new chapter in our lives. More difficult, more painful, less joyful, less full of love. I and Jo's friends and family are going to work every moment of our lives to love and nurture our kids and to fight against the hate that killed Jo. 'Jo believed in a better world and she fought for it every day of her life with an energy, and a zest for life that would exhaust most people.

'She would have wanted two things above all else to happen now, one that our precious children are bathed in love and two, that we all unite to fight against the hatred that killed her. Hate doesn't have a creed, race or religion, it is poisonous.

'Jo would have no regrets about her life, she lived every day of it to the full.' A 53-year-old - named locally as 'loner' Tommy Mair - has been arrested by police and his house is currently being searched by forensic experts.

you’d think they’d change the script after a while, but I guess what works works and bureaucracies aren’t great in the innovation department

“...Birstall near Leeds.”

Leeds is a rough area. Has been at least since I was there 35 years ago.

[ Another mind control subject put to work. Just like Oswald and the rest of the “loner” political assassins. Pick someone with problems, use drugs and hypnosis to implant the compulsion to kill someone and then cover up the whole thing with ECT. MK-Ultra. Bet on it. ]

That is my thought, now the EU lovers inthe UK Labour party have a “reasonable excuse” for the votes to “swing the other way” when the brexit vote comes up. ( even if the votes have to be counted the “corrected way” )

It’s very suspicious. Stinks to high heaven as a matter of fact.

I agree with you. I’d look into the husband and see if there’s a motive. Two crazies in one day does not make a coincidental crazy feast smell right. But just my opinion.

Was that his Facebook picture? They always seem to post pics of themselves looking ominous on Facebook. Guess since he’s in UK showing a pic of him with a gun would be too obvious a setup. So they settle for camouflage.

What’s an “MP”? Can’t be military police.

Does anyone still wonder why the Dems and GOP establishment have such a h%%d-on for gun confiscation?

This is a story that will repeat itself many times over as long as governments try to push people to the breaking point.

I don’t understand the meaning of why they use the word “surgery” to meet with constituents. Such an odd use of the word

Another forum has noted that

“a similar attack occurred in Sweden when they were about to hold a referendum on adopting the euro. A pro euro Social Democrat, Anna Lindh, was the face of the campaign for the euro. The polling was tight. Leading up to the vote, she was viciously stabbed and killed on the streets.”

Likewise, “same thing happened in Germany in Cologne;
pro refugee mayoral candidate stabbed in neck, then she won from sympathy vote surge.”

The above may be entirely coincidental. OTOH, maybe not (just sayin...)
