Man WTF is going on over there

Terrorism is invading Europe. They're losing. 

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Just stay the hell away from Europe 

I'm trying to get over there in a couple weeks, I'm calling it close on the air fare though.

It's scary, man. I guess if my job required me to go, I would. But that's it.

It is for work, we'll see.

####### animals.

 

[rascal]

Man, I thought this was bump from the previous similar incident.

Thoughts and prayers.

England needs to come to grips with the situation and figure out how to protect their country 

 

[Smack Tripper]

being of Irish ancestry I can only wonder why they were harder on the Irish than these people

Wow

Hot take right here 

 

[Gawain]

Wow

There were roughly 6.5 million Irish in 1841. There are currently less than 5 million Irish now.

There were 600K non-Jew Palestinians in 1917. There were 1.2M when the mandate ended in 1947 and 2.2M now.

Seriously?

 

[belljr]

Did they catch them?

Different era

Things are more complex now.   It was also easier to lump pro-nationalist Irish together than it is to find the common thread for Islamic terrorists. 

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Did they catch them?

CNN just showed police with two men on the ground on London Bridge, they appear to have vests, possible canisters.

Fox also reported explosions, but I'm guessing those are controlled if that's the case.

This is the Fox link.

JFC.

We have family there at the moment on vacation.  Haven't heard from them yet. 

Probably asleep.  If they registered  their trip with the State Deptartment, they've received text messages and emails about the incident and been instructed to contact family members or update social media status to let people knew they are OK.  They will also have the location and contact info for the USA embassy in London.  

(I'm not a State Dept expert.  I'm going to England in a few weeks and registered the trip with State just in case something like this happens so the embassy knows my family and I are in town.)

 

[Smack Tripper]

Wow

Wow what? If you think there was any care or consideration given for the feelings or how people perceived the Irish in the 70's and 80's, you'd be mistaken. 

 

[Billy Bats]

From London Ambulance:

"We can confirm we have taken at least 20 patients to six hospitals across London following the incident at London Bridge.

"We have also treated a number of people at the scene for less serious injuries.

No official word of fatalities but a skynews reporter is saying fatalities, plural.

Wonder if this will impact the benefit concert tomorrow

Pub goers fought back against one attacker.

What is your link supposed to be telling us?

 

[culdeus]

What is your link supposed to be telling us?

It's a twitter link.  To a tweet.  It's part of the internet.  A series of tubes.

 

[Toe Cutter]

What is your link supposed to be telling us?

That apparently people in a pub fought back against an attacker. You couldn't understand that?

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Some people may have been forced into the Thames.

 

[CurlyNight]

Early report is 20 are injured according to CNN. :(

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

What is your link supposed to be telling us?

From what I've read at least one person was killed inside a pub, I'm sure the patrons sought to drive the ******* out.

Be that as it may, your link did not give that information.

 

[wazoo11]

:(

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

I've read one report that 1-2 suspects shot, 1 on the run. 

Another is 3 suspects shot, 2 more on the run.

 

[Billy Bats]

Sources have told Sky News there have been fatalities

 

[Billy Bats]

I've read one report that 1-2 suspects shot, 1 on the run. 

Another is 3 suspects shot, 2 more on the run.

A police source has confirmed to Sky reporters that armed police are still trying to locate a suspect - that suspect is still at large

The link says exactly that when I opened it

 

[wazoo11]

I personally hope for world peace.

No it doesn't. Just a bunch of twitter links, none of which what his link was supposed to be about.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Sun reporter: fourth explosion.

- eta - Presumed controlled detonation of IED's by police.

 

[JAMES!]

No it doesn't. Just a bunch of twitter links, none of which what his link was supposed to be about.

"JUST IN: Witness to @NBCNightlyNews: People used pint glasses and chairs to fight back as at least 1 attacker entered a pub in London."

 

[Da Guru]

Reported that the muslim terrorists were shouting "This is for Allah" during the attack.   There is no Allah!!

Sick..

Take your hall monitor act somewhere else.

Your #### is broke. The link works fine. 

 

[CurlyNight]

So far 6 reported dead.. :(

Thread is a decent read because Tim can't bring his crap into before page 2 gets here.  Don't take his place

 

[shadyridr]

6 dead,  3 attackers all dead, were wearing fake suicide vests

 

[Jobber]

Now we just wait for the inevitable "known to police" announcement.

"They were on our list, they had just travelled to Syria last month and re-entered the U.K. last week."

 

[CurlyNight]

And 30 wounded..

 

[Shula-holic]

This is becoming so commonplace that the threads are also shrinking in size when this occurs.  It's about as common as a passing shower these days.  

 

[El Floppo]

Thread is decent so far because people are talking about the events mostly- not tangential politics or opinions.

 

[Billy Bats]

6 dead,  3 attackers all dead, were wearing fake suicide vests

So I'm assuming they found the suspect that was on the run and killed him? Or Is there a fourth suspect? 

Eta: "Police say they believe all the attackers have been shot and killed but they are working to confirm it."

"Armed officers responded and shot three attackers dead within eight minutes of the first call."
