Reminiscent of our own attack on Parliament Hill.

Seems pretty stupid and sloppy in execution, thankfully.

There are over 200 shooting incidents a day in the States resulting in injury and death. The UK needs to step it up.

Pity they did not execute him, on the spot.
Obviously we need to send them some of our Canadian marksmen/women (NB politically correct here) for their parliament.

Getting vital info is better than killing him.

In that moment, keeping people alive is the thought.

Nothing better than turning tragedy into a punch line is there?

I walked across the Westminster Bridge and in the area of the Parliament buildings last May. Scary stuff!

Why are there people in this world who would do harm to others for such stupid reasons?

Organized religion. It brings out the very best in some, and the very worst in others.

Your comment reminded me of a bumper sticker to which I made reference a few months ago: Atheists Don't Kill in the Name of God.

To be honest, I am surprised something big hasn't here yet.
Britains security is so elite. Every street corner has a camera , etc.

We have had those shootings in the mosque.

Re: Terrorist attack in London

Its a shame really...

But we also foster this nonsense, and people are way too liberal. Take for example this article here

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/vice-media-reporter-must-turn-over-materials-to-rcmp-appeal-court-rules/article34381284/

Vice reporters trying to justify keeping their information secret/private when it can assist in the investigation and eventual conviction of a KNOWN TERRORIST and security threat.

As a Canadian Citizen i value our charter and rights, and sure freedom of press is great.

But this is when that saying "the needs of the many outweight the needs of the few"

By that I mean, the needs of SOCIETY outweight the needs of this one journalist or the press. The need to PROTECT SOCIETY outweight the NEED for a journalist to keep his information private if it can save hundreds or thousands of lives however slim the chances are that this radical can carry out an attack.

A big nope to just about everything you've written here. Freedom of the press is essential. People aren't too liberal. One slim possibility does not justify people setting aside their freedoms. Yada yada.
