What I find interesting is the number of tweets that are praising Brexit as a solution to the Islamic terrorism in UK.
Do they really not realize that they voted for expulsion of Polish and Bulgarian Christians in favor of immigration of Muslims, who will be needed in order to fill the jobs left by the EU nationals?
No I agree with the statement during the last London attack people were sharing photos of people with there skulls crushed long before anyone had been identified. Imagine finding out your mum or brother etc had died via a twitter photo of their mangled body
Jolly as ever !
3 knifemen as well this was the style of attack they were fearing seems the dealt with it well . 2 minutes after the first call police were on the bridge after the van which had vanished then within 8 minutes of the first initial 999 call 3 attackers were shot dead .
8 minutes too late for 50 people.
Seems a lot were throwing chairs etc.
Would have been a different ride in Prague for the terrorists.
Easy to say when itâs not happened in Prague
Is London Bridge central part of London? I am not sure which area to compare that with.
The benchmark that our Rapid Response Units (2 cops in car in heavy gear trained for active shooter scenarios) aim to is to engage perp. within 10 minutes from receiving order in any urban area in the country. These complement standard police patrols which are all armed and which would most probably arrive even faster (Prague is specialty with no âRapid Response Unitsâ but rather âMotorized Emergency Unitsâ which are mostly three heavily armed cops in a car).
In center of center of Prague I would expect first engagement within 3 minutes if there is no CCer and within 30 seconds in areas with high CC rate (e.g. Jewish quarter).
Last time I called police due to domestic disturbance at neighbor in 4 AM the first car arrived in 2 minutes and the second about 30 seconds later. I live a bit outside of the city center.
BTW a lot of âalternewsâ sites mention unarmed police running away from the stabbing incident place. Canât find worthy source for that. Is it debated in any way?
I still find it interesting that the British populace is not alarmed by the fact that they are expecting their policemen to fight armed Jihadis bare-handed.
Yes it would be considered central London . Itâs the next bridge down from tower bridge .
The response time is actually very impressive . London is grid lock on a Saturday night so to get units on scene within 2 minutes is impressive .
Remember at this point they were only called to a van colliding with a crowd of people .
They then identified that this was something much worse and then reports came in of knife attacks at a market which is quite some way down the road maybe 500-800 metres away .
At this point the police stormed towards the area and within 6 minutes they had hunted the 3 knifemen down and witnesses described seeing 50+ Counter terror and regular armed officers with "lasers " being pointed all around the area and the sounds of substained gunfire before seeing the attackers bodies on the floor .
All within 8 minutes of a initial report of a van colliding with a crowd .
Itâs bloody impressive.
Shortly after a 70 man strong Special forces unit was fast roped into the area by helicopter and helped secure the area but which point the attack was over
So do I to be honest unarmed police have just become the normal and people are reluctant to change
Nope Iâve heard the opposite. People are applauding the police for their response and the bravery of unarmed police running towards the attacks with just Battons .
Did listen to a witness say he led a group of unarmed police to the attackers . When they got close he said all he heard was a number of very loud bangs and armed police come out of no where and screamed at him and the unarmed police to step back . Basically leave it to them .
This togther with the transport police officer who single handily took on all 3 knifemen on his own with a Baton whoâs now in hospital after obviously losing the fight but slowing them down enough
The one thing that always amazes me with these attacks in UK is the low death count. It seems extremely sloppy.
Given how extremely incapable UK extremists are I wonder why the law enforcement so often fails to prevent their actions.
I mean if they canât do the attack right how can they get on the path to it in advance without anyone being alerted?
The god of leftist religion himself reported it.
There were probably some policmen who ran away and some who didnât. What is beyond my comprehension is how public debate can be âletâs celebrate those heroic police officers who threw themselves unarmed on attackers and ended up injured (ignoring those who ran away)â instead of âwhat an utterly useless police, ending up injured against attackers with a mere knife instead of shooting them on spotâ. One of these ridiculous propagandist articles is on our public TV website just now, celebrating âheroismâ of police officers, while totaly ignoring fact that if they had a gun, they wouldnât be injured, they would not have to act improvised like some kind of civilian bystander, and the terrorists would be dead long before 8 minutes.
Well itâs a knife attack as well as a van hitting a crowd . After the initial impact the punch of the van is reduced . Thus reducing the chance of death for the people hit afterwards . Same with the Westminster one .
Then a knife attack . You can only kills a certain number of people with a knife in a few minutes . You can slash a lot yes but to actually kill will take some time .
Plus where this attack took place is less than 300 metres from a major hospital. Same with the attack at Westminster .
As for preventing it . We have the best counter terror intelligence service in the world but how the hell can you prevent an attack that requires zero planning . You if you wanted right now could grab a knife jump in your car and carry a similar attack out . What chance does anyone really have of preventing it ? None .
Thatâs whatâs so scary about these attacks . Theyâre impossible to spot before hand .
When a Somali with no previous comes to IKEA in Sweden, takes knife from the shelve and starts stabbing people, that is something you canât prevent.
When three guys decide to commit yet another one in chain of terror attacks - or when a guy with a long rap sheet of misdemeanors that should trigger firearm confiscation comes into a pub and opens fire (UherskĂ˝ Brod shooting) - that is security failure.
Too right she still should . If the EU wishes to play dirty so should we
What dirty play from EU do you have in mind exactly?
Encouraging independence of Scotland and delibrately bringing up Gibraltar issue just off the top of my head.
