Doesn't sound good... they have this guy on sky news via fox website being interviewed dropping some C Bombs, F Bombs, etc.. and very rattled. UGH. Looks like a SHT TON of riot cops on scene over 3+ blocks away who look to be heading into the scene. General Election in 5 days.

Maybe if the Europeans weren't all about allowing everyone to travel freely across borders, this could be prevented. London is one of the most heavily watched cities in the world with regards to cameras all over.

That being said, I hope there are minimal injuries or fatalities

Unfortunately cameras only help to solve crimes/forensics once they've occurred and by then its too late.

It seems most of the news people are trying hard not to say the "T" word. That is even after interviewing numerous people who were at the scene and described the events and the aftermath who were calling it a terrorist attack. Sounds like they have a lot of 'Dems' over there on Sky News!

I radical Islam makes up only 1% or less of Islam, then where is the voice and effort by the 99% to condemn and take back their faith? Is it that they condone attacks against non Muslims, but my have a little bit of issues when when other Muslims are attacked? This has been they way it has been for years. There seems to be little to no effort by the majority to take their religion back from the radical minority. That all but re-enforces my understanding that they believe in what the Koran says, kill the infidels, those that are not of Islam. Think about it?

Police looking for three men - reports
Posted at23:513 Jun


The BBC's Nick Quraishi at the scene says he is now able to corroborate earlier reports of gunshots being fired.

Reports suggest it may have been more than one incident:

- A van hitting people at London Bridge and three people then jumping out of the vehicle and attacking members of the public;

- A separate incident at Borough Market

- Police have now said they are responding to a third incident in Vauxhall

It is understood that police are looking for three suspects who may be armed.

That 1% equals about 18 million people

How does a country have a national election this coming Thursday under these kind of threat/incident levels? It will probably have to be a military state this Thursday all around the U.K.

News in this country consists of mainly lies and half truths from our "esteemed" mainstream media. According to foreign press like the BBC, Canadian, Australian and others, American printed press is best used to wipe your *** and means more as TP.

The scary thing is we still have morons believing the Russians and Comey stole the election. Please feel free to express this BS as fact and confirm your intelligence and common sense level as retarded....or pure moron.

This. People talk about it just being a small group of radicals don't seem to understand how many people make up even a very small portion of the Muslim population.

It's probably true that only 1% - hell maybe even less than that - are willing to actually commit the act of terror/suicide bombings etc. but when you expand that to include those who support the acts or those who don't necessarily support the acts but support the same belief system, it becomes an incredibly large number of people who are in some way supporting or aiding or creating an environment that allows for terrorism.

Sam Harris and Bill Maher are excellent on this topic.

The left is so bitter at losing the election and so angry that Donald Trump is president, they will do anything to destroy him at the risk of destroying everyone else.

Let's face it, this can happen anytime anywhere nowadays. It is unfortunate, but it is the world we live in.

The scary thing is that a lot of these attacks are done by young Islamic men who grew up in a western country like U.K., France, Belgium or even US, get radicalized online (in a few cases headed to Iraq, Syria, etc) , then kill people in the very same city they grew up in. In a number of cases they weren't like dirt poor either but had some $$$$$ means.

We've seen it in Orlando, Paris, London, Brussels and even in Australia. Scary.

Pretty sure the poster ask about the 200 million that do not condemn the 1%.

No doubt - probably a pretty good reason for why carry and conceal licenses are through the roof over the last number of years. When I worked at an office in Atlanta I'd say at least 50% plus of my coworkers were packing heat at their desks.

Appears one of the bastards had a suicide belt which didn't go off.


That's not what the news appears to be reporting - was more like trash can/metal armor they believed. Not sure I can tell from the pics though.

This is absolutely correct. Didn't stop POTUS from tweeting about his Muslim ban (that his lawyers keep trying to argue isn't a ban).

Actually, worldwide, its closer to 20-30% are radical with another 35-40% who tacitly support the jihad. That is problematic no matter who you are or what you care to believe about it. And by the way, this number is growing. And the really sad part is, up to this point, the remaining percentages who are peaceful have mostly chosen to keep their mouths shut and say or do nothing to police their religion.
