sadly I will be very shocked if there is no fatalities
Incident on London Bridge
- Thread starter Ubik
- Start date
Ill wait for confirmation from the police first on what's actually happened. I've had to close my Facebook because I'm evidently friends with idiots.
What the hell is going on?
fecking hell, this is insane. Only thing missing now is the "The world is safer than ever" brigade to chime in and tell us why we shouldn't be worried.
yeah, but where do the stabbing fit in?
After mounting the pavement, perhaps person driving van jumped out and went on a stabbing spree. Police then shot him down?
I guess it's a choice between innocents getting arrested and innocents being killed.
Vile creatures. Unfortunately there is no way to completely eradicate this type of terror.
Hope everyone is alright.
Hope everyone is alright.
2 minute response time according to the BBC, that's incredible.
The emergency services speed of response is amazing.
But it is?
That's to be expected in that area.
Arresting and interning innocent people (especially minoririties) is only likely to alienate and turn people into extremists.
How many people do you know who have died in a war? How many people do you know who have died in a terrorist attack? How many people do you know who have died in a plane crash?
Now how many people do you know who have died of cancer, heart disease or motor bike accidents?
Don't be afraid. If it happens to you or a loved one, it's an awful thing.
For feck sake.
Holy shit not again... My thought are with you in England.
Will this ever end?!! Somehow i doubt it.
Will this ever end?!! Somehow i doubt it.
Damn it.
LBC reporting that there were 3 men carrying knives who were in the van.

Just hope none of them weren't killed/arrested.
Police responding/responded to an incident in Borough Market.?
fecking hell that's right outside where I work..
Horrific. I wish for the best for everyone who was injured tonight. I hope the emergency services and the police have all the luck that is necessary to save lives in case this is indeed ongoing.
What happened at Borough?
Optimistic.
There is nothing to do against. Even if you nuke their countries (which would be even more stupid) its by far too late. They live among us like parasites. Their plans from years, maybe decades ago, are now starting to 'pay off'.
I fear it will only become worse.
It's not arresting who they want at any time, it's the ability to use what they can to monitor civilians.
In a perfect world 99% of innocent people wouldn't know they're being monitored
It's right next to London Bridge
confirmed a second incident at Borough Market.
I hope this is the same guy, not multiple suspects acting simultaneously.
It must be multiple people because they've already arrested on of the perpetrators, right?
Maybe the men from the van with knives ran on foot could've got to there too?
Don't like to speculate but could be.
If the driver continued south off the bridge that's into Borough High St and the market, no?
Reports of gunfire according to the reddit live thread.
yes, that's the choice.
I personally don't have a problem with it, it could never affect me as I don't hold dangerous or illegal opinions on anything I'm aware of.
But once you break this principle, its gone forever and changes our constitutional rights as a citizen.
Probably police according to BBC witness. What sounded like gunfire happened once police had swarmed the area.
For God sake after a good CL game and news of a terror attack
That's what I was thinking too. But it's difficult to tell at the moment if the person that was arrested was the driver of that vehicle.
