Update: London Bridge Terror

According to the BBC, another eyewitness reported one of the attackers saying, “this is for Allah.”

Bombthrowers: Multiple terrorist attacks were carried out in London, England, this evening, reportedly by Muslim militants. At about 10 p.m. London time (5 p.m. Eastern) a speeding van jumped onto London Bridge’s sidewalk and mowed down somewhere between 5 and 20 people. According to the latest from the Sun, five men got out of the van and began attacking people with knives. Two or three have been killed by police. At least seven innocents may be dead and another 20 hurt.

U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May said the attack “is being treated as a potential act of terrorism” and that her thoughts were with “those who are caught up in these dreadful events.”

BBC reporter Holly Jones, who was on the storied bridge that crosses the River Thames at the moment of the attack described seeing a van traveling about 50 miles per hour which then moved onto the sidewalk. “He swerved right round me and then hit about five or six people. He hit about two people in front of me and then three behind.”

The attack continued at the nearby Borough Market. One witness described the scene:

We saw people running away and then I saw a man in red with a large blade, at a guess 10 inches long, stabbing a man, about three times. It looked like the man had been trying to intervene, but there wasn’t much he could do. He was being stabbed quite coldly and he slumped to the ground.

The witness said he saw the man walk off with another.  MORE

  1. Criminal, for taking the law into his own hands (a MAJOR insult to all authoritarians) and for Islamophobia. Many Brits would privately cheer him but you’d hear nothing from them for fear of also being called phobic.

    Unless they revolted…

  2. “London Mayor insists it is one of the safest cities in the world.”

    Calling all cars.

    Hello?
    Yes, a collect call for Mrs. Floyd from Mister Floyd
    Will you accept the charges from United States?

    Oh, he hung up, that’s your residence, right? I wonder why he hung up?
    Is there supposed to be someone else there besides your wife there to answer?

    Hello?
    This is United States calling, are we reaching
    See he keeps hanging up.

  3. It’s time to start killing every last one of these damned jihadi muzzie bastards. The West needs to declare open warfare on them and eliminate them from the face of the earth. Hunt them down like rabid dogs and destroy them before they destroy us. No quarter, no mercy because they sure as hell won’t back down.

  4. I am becoming quite callused.
    If the not-so-great Britain doesn’t care about the safety of their heritage, citizens and Nation, why should I?

    England has a long history of strife, invasion and submission by since 55BC by Romans, Angles, Saxons, Jutes, Frisians, Vikings, Danes, Scandinavia, Normans, Scotland, numerous civil wars, Spain, France and Germany.

    Now it’s the Islamic hordes turn to subjugate a compliant and weak England.

  5. A El Paso Tako patron reportedly reported hearing another iwitness report one blade said “Ölaaaaaahhhhh Kathy Griffen” while doing dirty deeds.

  6. The important thing is that nobody was called a racist for saying the worthless, murderous, goat-fucking muslim pedophile savages don’t belong in the UK, or any other Western nation.

  7. The U.K. Election is June 08.

    UKIP “should” gain voters after these outrages. But even articulating the problem is now officially banned Hate Speech. Literally illegal.

    Plus, expect EU/Government ballot tampering as we just saw in France against LePen.

    The fix will be in for May or Labour. Both wil advocate more appeasement, plus Internet censorship and requiring all U.K. households to surrender their kitchen knives immediately.

    The World needs a Katy Perry, Ariana Grande, with special guest, documentarian Shia LaBeouf, Middle East “With Love from The Great Satan, Reconciliation Tour”.

    (Oh, no. They don’t have to agree. That’s what renditions are for.)

  9. May finally uttered the words “islamic ideology” or something close. May be May is waking up.
    Will be called an islamaphobe and lose in a landslide.

  10. Some of my English friends(ahemm) blamed the Manchester bombing on Trump for pissing off Muslims by trying to implement the travel ban. No kidding! I don’t even argue with them or tell them how foolish that is. I just let them continue with their collective English suicide. Hopefully, it will get so bad they will allow willing Americans to travel there and hunt the Muzzy bastards down in the streets like mad dogs. I’ll be first in line.
