London

I realize that giving guns to the citizens will never be accepted in such a state controlled socialist country as the UK, but for the love of God, at least arm your police.

That's really working for you guys, hey?

Armed police were on the scene in London and the assailants were dead within 8 minutes. Can NYC or LA say the same?

If you're black and innocent you'll be dead within 5

If everyone in the movie theater is armed, I feel safer.

I heard one of the police only carried a stick and was cut up in the face by one of the attackers.

You really are a typical partisan American, tub-thumping and shouting your mouth off at the slightest infringement of your political views. The data comes from the coalition of security agencies which serve the Crown via whatever government is in power.

These jihadists are being supported and hidden within the UK and other countries.

And, of course, only the hardliners in power can save the people from them, yes? Is that how the line goes? We've heard this song before.

Armed police were on the scene (and had taken them down) within 8 minutes. The fact that a brave police officer had gotten there first and attempted to stop them without a gun doesn't detract from this speedy response.

These horrible deeds are planned and executed in countries where the assassins often lived, worked and had their education. I just can't find words for these criminals.

Well you have to be in power, that's for sure.

Not sure what song your on abort though.

What I'm "on about" is the horrific fear-mongering conservative governments need to use to get approval for their draconian measures from a now-fearful public.

Could you list some of those that are relevant to "London" and the UK?

Agreed. People could also get rid off those who molest spectators with loud popcorn or/and and mobile phones.

Wait.

That government is conservative, yes?

I'm wondering if they consider a campaign of fear to be just as 'politically expedient' to them as do the Republicans in America?

I'd say so.

I'd say so.

Based on what evidence?

Hey, I just asked the question.

You're the one who turned around and jumped all over my ass trying to protect your sweetie Ms. May against some imagined accusation.

All 3 attackers shot dead.
Pity.

Can't change the views of the dead.

AND now they are martyrs which will be used for propaganda purposes by IS and Taliban and the rest.
