There was a terror attack on the London Bridge today.
In what appears to be a repeat of the deadly March 22 terrorist attack on Westminster Bridge in London, on Saturday night a white van rammed into as many as 15-20 pedestrians as "several people mowed down" on London Bridge in central London in what has been dubbed a "major incident." The incident happened at 10.30pm on Saturday. According to preliminary reports there have been at least 6 victims, and a cab driver on the bridge has reported he saw a stabbing man. About five people were being treated for injuries after the vehicle mounted the pavement and hit them, she said.
Scotland Yard reports that in addition to the car ramming, London police say they have also responded to an incident at Borough Market; armed officers at scene. It is unclear if the two incidents are releated.
Several eyewitness accounts have emerged which suggest there have been multiple casualties, with bodies strewn across the pavement. Others reports that several people are receiving emergency treatment after being stabbed. One woman told the Sun; "We had to run there was loads of shooting".
It can't be islamic terrorists driven by religious mandate...no. It has to be something else.
According to a BBC reporter at the scene, police are now searching for three possibly armed suspects. According to Sky News, citing Scotland Yard, there has been a third separate incident in the Vauxhall region in South Lond,
Separately, an eyewitness told LBC radio what he saw tonight. The taxi driver said: "A van came from London Bridge itself, went between the traffic light system and rammed it towards the steps. It knocked loads of people down.
"Then three men got out with long blades, 12 inches long and went randomly along Borough High Street stabbing people at random."

weill, I sure as ★■◆● know there isn't any 'religious mandate' so that guess is bogus. More likely the Amish than that. Was Dylan Roof(deadlier than the entire crew in London, at current count) driven by a religious mandate?

Hmm...maybe them shouting "this is for allah!" during the attack was some kind of clue?
no, only to the clueless. How many times does it need be pointed out that invoking God, or a religion, does not equate to sanction by, adherance to or the thinking of any given religion?

Fear? No. Resolve to kill these goatfuckers? YES. That's what we need.

What you show constantly is fear, the type of fear that destroys everything we live for and value. Every time these bastards do something horrible that make people hide under the beds like scared little mice and the media to go psychotic about it 24/7, they've won.

Well, better not hide under your bed NS. You have a greater chance of getting crushed by a piece of your own furniture than getting murdered by a terrorist.
You know NS, life is too short to worry about these pricks. If you let them drive your life by fear, then as I've said before, they've already won. Even if they never lay a hand on you, you're trapped within your cage of built out of fear and you're functionally dead to the world.

I mean seriously, next time you are looking for the radical extremists who are trying to strike fear into and incite violence in the west, a good place to start would be in the nearest mirror.
Obsessions can possess our mind. Our thoughts race or run in circles, feeding incessant worry, fantasy or a search for answers. They can take over our life, so that we lose hours, sleep, or even days or weeks of enjoyment and productive activity.
Obsessions can paralyze us. Other times, they can lead to compulsive behavior such as repeatedly checking our email, our weight or whether the doors are locked. We lose touch with ourselves, our feelings and our ability to reason and solve problems. Obsessions like this are usually driven by fear.

Perspective is in fact very important, but I don’t see heart attacks trying to force unwanted political change either.
Most everyone I know* agrees that terrorism should not be a relative thing, but that being said, I don’t think people should be dwelling on the subject on a daily basis either.
