#40  #39 Thanks, #34 BP. Whew! I was worried there for a minute.

Me, too. My first thought was "OMG! He's swapped bodies with Roseanne Barr."

#38  Looks like "our" MSM are not exactly telling the truth about the number of injured.

#37  [i]US Judges will have blood on their hands when this happens here.[/i]

I would hope the net is a lot larger than that when this happens here. I want every single legislator pushed against the wall who claimed that our national security is "a sensitive topic" or some other RUBBISH as for their reasons to oppose enforcing our borders. Fuck them, and may they pay the price for their foolishness and treachery.

#30  The Telegraph: Mr. Abu Izzadeen is now dead, along with the first police officer stabbed and two others. Twenty wounded. No confirmation there that the jihadi is known wolf Mr. Abu Izzadeen AKA Trevor Brooks AKA Omar Brooks.

#26  Bright Pebbles, thank you for doing so much to update us on the latest details of this story as they come out.
Posted by: trailing wife   2017-03-22 15:13  

#25  Mr. Abu Izzadeen has appeared 25 times in the Rantburg archives since 2004. His allegiance was originally to al-Muhajiroun. He also has gone by the name Omar Brooks, and is of Jamaican, not Indian subcontinent ancestry. He converted to Islam at age 17. Are his wife and children still in Turkey, or did they rejoin him in Britain?

...and he kept filming.
Because, well video fame lasts. Lives don't.

And, may - just maybe, that's what Trump is waiting for - after all, just blocking Muslim influx now won't solve the problem.

#13  'Asian' knifeman? They still can't say radical Islamic terrorist?
Posted by: JohnQC   2017-03-22 13:54  

#12  Thank you for the photo, Bright Pebbles.

The Telegraph is updating faster at the moment: two now dead, "up to three" (an odd formulation) of the wounded are police officers, the jihadi had two knives, not just one. The car is a grey Hyundai i40, whatever that is. And young schoolchildren on a tour were set to singing to keep everyones' spirits up, a clever idea by their teachers.

#11  >in England Asian often means Pakistani.

Only in the MSM when they try not to say Muslim.

Asian used to imply Chinese..

FUCK the MSM

#8  Both the Daily Mail and lord garth's Telegraph article are being updated as information comes in. According to the police this is being treated as a terrorist incident. A dozen pedestrians were injured, some seriously, when the "Asian" drove onto the sidewalk on the bridge before crashing into the fence around the Parliament building, one women was killed and another person fell into the river. The Daily Mail has a photo of the man they describe as the jihadi: decidedly tan, neatly bearded, with a neat bandage on the left side of his abdoman, on a stretcher about to be put into an ambulance. Prime Minister Theresa May was immediately evacuated to Downing Street while the rest of the MPs were locked down until they could be safely escorted out of the building by gun toting guards.
