What kind of neighborhood is Woolwich? Are the vermin local?

That sort of vermin is national, and the victim was targeted.

They might be local, but might have come in to get the the barracks area. Woolwich is a scum area though.

I'd bet that they weren't born in the UK either. Has there been any info on who they are yet?

Why the hassle? One bullet in each attacker's head and the world's a better place. I'd gladly pay the bullets.

People getting murdered with bladed weapons on the open street by people chanting (misguided) religious outbursts...that starts to sound like a freaking Chaos cult on Cadia.

On another board its noted at least one has a heavy British accent from ranting on camera before the police came.

Yeah the main terrorist who spoke to the camera (black beanie hat) had an fully English London accent, i'd be very surprised if he was a first generation immigrant.

Na taxpayers are paying for them to be treated in hospitals as we speak.

They and anyone else who share their view and motivations should be removed from this world.

I think they feel exactly the same way.

Just that they have lived life the wrong way.

Nope, you do not protect civilisation by becoming uncivilised. They should be receive a fair trial that is open to the pubic and suffer the same punishment as any other murderer. Making martyrs out of people isn't the way to stop this from happening again.

I think removing the bad people of society would be quite civilised.

the alleged attacker says: "We swear by almighty Allah we will never stop fighting you."
He adds: "I apologise that women have had to witness this today, but in our land our women have to see the same.
"You people will never be safe. Remove your government, they don't care about you."

'In our land' By the looks and sound of him his land would appear to the UK,
'You people' what? me, you mean you? I am confused.

If he had been living there 10-15 years the accent would have come, but that doesn't mean he'd consider himself British.

Their medical care.....free health care in UK right? Not like its ration in Canada eh?

Same here, I see no error in removing them from the world, just make sure you do it in a civilized way.

An Austrian chap thought something quite similar.

They even industrialised it! Very civilised.

Also, excellent Godwin, can we lock this already?

Didn't even take 2 pages. Is that a record?

Nah, Erhnsteingsinns or w/e automatically Godwin'd any thread he made.

I have no idea how Hitler can be brought into this.

What would be the point of sending them to prison, rehab? Send them there for life? Death sentence in itself and waste of tax payers money.

Quite simply because we don't execute people in this country anymore, if we did we would simply regress closer to the level of the very people we are trying to fight. Maybe we should start cutting off the hands of theives and stoning adulters as well?

This is completely OT though.

Hah, my thoughts exactly.

Back to the original subject matter though. I'm still just perplexed at 2 things: A) Why did they just stand there and not attack anyone else? B) Did no one perform a citizens arrest? There were 2 of them and a group of 10 or more could have easily swamped them. People just stood by and watched it happend and took pictures on their iPhones.....

You called for the extermination of people based on the ambiguous term "bad".

The point is to remove them from society, which is what you called for. The waste of money argument is flawed as the costs of appeals on death row will show you.

Did you see that woman just walk past him with the weapons in plain sight, she has (balls?) of steel. It is pretty wierd why no one did anything but I cant blame anyone for not wanting to confront 2 guys with weapons, you would clearly lose.

It's weird when you see it second hand, it's not when it happens in front of you.

For all peoples posturings of "I would help" in a situation, they usually do not have any idea on whether they actually would or not if they actually witnessed it first hand.

They'll certainly know they'll have wanted to. Sometimes.

Would you citizens arrest someone who was armed with various knives and a gun?

The filming thing is a little odd, but I've heard that in stressful situations people will film things as it feels less real, as though they are watching it and not there themself.

I forgot to add I now wait for a flood of people saying they would've stepped in.

Or who will just continue to question why no-one (apparently, I've not viewed the video as I've had enough anger for today) did.

This lady? Very brave, along with others who shielded the soldiers body.
