Reports are stating 2 dead now  >:( :(  Same a**hole responsible for both incidents.

Political violence is relatively rare in Britain, where gun ownership is seriously restricted.

...I know what those first seven words mean in English, and what they would normally mean used in a sentence in that order, but I'm having trouble synching that claim with history.   :-\

Unfortunately these sorts of incidents are going to be the norm in Europe and elsewhere for the foreseeable future. 


God bless the victims and their families.

Why think too hard about it?  Its the NYT.  There is an agenda to be pushed.

There may even be people still jammed up on the bridge railing where he slammed the vehicle to a stop.

Go to judgment, whoever you were, and be salted by "the fire the eonian"; until you learn better what "the Merciful and the Compassionate" means. 

(Granted, I'm profiling here, but I expect from recent past experience this guy won't be of Irish descent. Though if he is, the clause before the semicolon would still count. ;) )

That's typical editorializing by Times. Not surprising at all.

You people still take the NYTimes seriously?

I hope the situation in London calms soon - hate seeing something like this happen there.

Not in about 25 years.
