Just when you think the news cannot get any worse...a beheading in London?

[Cono Este]

And the crazy guy on tv with a meat clever?

Pinch me.

[PNWbrit]

Crazy stuff.

South East London has seen its share of meat cleaver attacks.....



but none yet by Jihadists.

[DeathVan]

I refuse to recognize the attackers point of view.

That'll show 'em.

[RootSkier]

What do you mean "get any worse"? There are 6 billion fucking people in the world. If you read the news, you are going to read fucked up shit every single day.

That ain't SHIT compared to what goes on every day in plenty of other places.

My point: quit talking about, because that's half the problem.

[Hugh Conway]

The british government has an emergency response group named....

COBRA!

always thought cobra comander had a recognizably funny voice.

[DeathVan]

That'll show 'em.

I refuse to recognize your point of view.

[GiBo]

Totally agree root. I was just thinking about that last night while seeing some of the OK tornado stuff. We just see and hear FUCKING EVERYTHING now. I think bad shit has always happened- now there's just more people and much faster and more access to news about it. We didn't used to get video of a meat clever attack in London within 10 minutes of it happening.

Of course, we ignore the fucked up shit in non-western places because we don't care about non-western places or people. That's just the hard truth.

Yep they've already met.

And eventually decided who was going to put the kettle on in time for their next meeting.

You have to feel most sorry for Anderson Cooper. He's going to need roller skates at this rate of over the top "IT HAPPENED HERE!" disaster coverage

[userA]

nah, there will be some other worst disaster ever soon enough and coop will be just fine.

If that guy was talking into the smart phone device in Somalia I would agree. BUt this is news because the pysco is doing Somalia shit in London, machete and all. Sort of like a Tornado in Manhattan. Just weird.

[Parvo]

pretty sad that such an 'enlightened' country disarms their citizens so they can't even defend themselves against some pansy with a scimitar. Molon Labe motherfuckers! Yeah, poli asshat, I know... but every UK citizen should either be issued a personal bobby or allowed to arm themselves.

[PNWbrit]

every UK citizen

Even the Welsh?

Fuck that.

[truckeelocal]

Even the Welsh?

Come home to a real fire ... buy a cottage in Wales

Weren't some of the Irish population armed ? How did that go ?

And couldn't the Scots do with underwear to go with their dirks ?

Seriously anyone advocating tooling up the population of South London in order to reduce violent crime.

....Hasn't spent anytime in South London.

I guess that explains why GI Joe always wins

[Poop~Ghost]

The good news is meat cleaver guy isn't breathing our air anymore. Fuck that shithead.

[PNWbrit]

The good news is meat cleaver guy isn't breathing our air anymore. Fuck that shithead.

Last I saw both attackers were being detained at separate London hospitals and being treated for gunshot wounds?

The good news is that they can be questioned by police and some background to this might come to light.

I guess that explains why GI Joe always wins

Is winning worth it without a nice cuppa tea?

[Cono Este]

Yes, he looks like he has a bad case of lead poisoning now.

[XXX-er]

Its been done in of all places on a greyhound bus in manitoba,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Tim_McLean

you don't want to fall asleep on a greyhound bus eh, a boring drive for sure but I didn't think it was boring enough to drive someone that crazy ?

if you are going to worry about every bad thing you read you might as well just end it all now

[XavierD]

some background to this might come to light.

you mean other than being Islamic fundies?

[PNWbrit]

you mean other than being Islamic fundies?

Yes. Other than just that.

[leroy jenkins]

Or just plain ol fucking nuts?

I will echo the poster who seemed unsurprised to hear this. News flash, right now someone is raping their prepubescent kid, someone is selling their kids into slavery, someone is eating their own childrens meat, etc.

[iceman]

I really don't know how Cono gets up in the morning. Maybe he doesn't.

So...I've wondered about this a few times (something's wrong with me obviously)...but do you think a decapitated head can still think for a while? 10-15 seconds, maybe?

That would be a weird feeling I bet.

[splat]

I heard they sent him a letter in a lead envelope.

I imagine it'd be like, "Hey, I didn't notice that body when I got here. Sleeepy...."
