London terror attack 3/6/17

Unfortunately we have been the victims of yet another terror attack, this time along London Bridge.

3 terrorists have driven a van into people along the bridge and then started stabbing people.

The terrorists have been shot dead by armed police, six people are dead and 30 badly injured.

Urgh, if the people behind these attacks are doing them becasuse they hate our way of life (a popular theory as to why), why don't they just f*+* off to some derelict jungle somewhere and live their version of life the way they want and leave us to live life the way we want?

Blowing us up is not going to convert those left to their way of life, it's only going to push our resolve to live life the way we want even more, and do nothing other than make life very hard for people of their own faith who may also be wanting to live life quietly their own way here without enforcing their beliefs on everybody else.

We have a Muslim neighbour, they're lovely people, their son wouldn't be alive if it wasn't for our NHS, and they live and work in the community just like any other person does of an alternative faith, yet I dread to think what they must be thinking everytime someone looks at them now, especially the right wing BNP supporting racist pigs that live further down the road.
 
I think their main justification for these attacks are because of our involvement in the conflict with ISIS in Syria and the Middle East.

The fact that we're not all Muslim and interpret the Quran in the warped way they do also make us targets.

We are at war with a terrorist group, not a religion or a ethnicity. Unfortunately, some people are unable to differentiate.
 
Yeah true, Syria isn't the issue though, infact it's the one part of the Middle East we havn't meddled in to much extent (well not compared to Iraq, libya, Afghanistan etc.).
 
Close to killing a passerby though, just hope this stupid IPCC enquiry doesn't rule they used excessive force, you can kind of forgive a copper for shooting the wrong person in the dark heat of the moment as long as they don't kill them and do kill the terrorist.

Stuck between a rock and a hard place.
