A hero bystander who was inside a nearby historic hall when the London Bridge stabbing unfolded Friday ripped a five-foot Narwhal tusk from the wall to help neutralize the knife-wielding madman, a witness said.

The unidentified man can be seen on footage of the stabbing Friday in London hovering over the suspect with the massive tusk as others attempt to disarm the assailant.

Just how sad and pathetic is this? People in the UK are so defenseless that the man had to take a whale’s tusk from a museum to use as a weapon.

Anyway, good for him. He should get a medal from the Queen. But it’s more likely that he’ll be cited for taking the tusk without permission.

Great now there will be a call to ban narwhal tustks. Is nothing sacred? Good on you mate!

Seriously, it should be illegal to carry a tusk around.

Just for curiosity’s sake, if a narwhal impales his prey on the end of the tusk, how does he get it to his mouth?

If narwahl tusks are outlawed, then only outlaws will have narwahl tusks!

Here ya go. The tusk is not used for impaling (unless your target is one of those peaceful Islamic stabbing guys).

From Wikipedia: “The distinctive tusk is used to tap and stun small prey, facilitating a catch.”

If May was still PM all the bystanders that attacked the Terrorist would be arrested and the Terrorist would be in a nice Hotel

Yes, I read that also. Some guy used a fire extinguisher to help subdue the attacker. But even so, this was yet another Islamist victory (two innocents were killed).

Will there finally be some push-back in the UK? I think not. A few dignitaries will say something vapid like “we will not let the terrorists intimidate us.” But the source of the terrorism- Islam - will not be named. And anyone who tries to do that will get the Tommy Robinson treatment.
