“They were stood over a woman on the ground. There was a bike next to her, so I don’t know if they pushed her off or not.They were stabbing her and stabbing her, repeatedly. She was saying, ‘Help me, help me’ but I couldn’t do anything.

“The men shouted, ‘This is for Allah’. I’m 100% that’s what they said. It was hard to tell what accent they had.

“Then the men ran towards the market, where all the boozers are. I ran after them, shouting at people to warn them. I was screaming, ‘They’re terrorists, run’ but it was busy and most people couldn’t hear me.

“I grabbed a pint glass and lobbed it one of them. He turned and came at me so I ran. I tried to pick up one of those Boris bikes and then threw a chair. I grabbed some beer bottles and lobbed them.

“The three terrorists all stuck closely together, it was like they were trained. Each of them had a big knife. It was dark so I’m not 100% but they looked Middle Eastern. They were just stabbing anyone they came across."

That poor woman. beyond sickening

1. Do we all need to equip ourselves with pepper spray, tasers and the like.

Personal protection devices for all needs to be considered.

[Rustyeye77]

2. You know....... its a thought.

and i'll bet a lot of people in the UK are thinking the same thing.

[democratisphere]

4. It may be the only way to immediately stop this type of carnage.

[Not Ruth]

31. Martial arts

The kind that are for defense, would work, like Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, where you lie down before you fight.

[Adrahil]

3. Don't over-react......

News like this is scary, but don't over-react. More people will be dead from traffic accidents in the UK by tomorrow morning, counting fromt he time of this attack.

It is important to not let terrorits create the terror they crave to create.

[Vermijelli]

15. That logic should apply to other forms of shocking, sensational mass murders, too

I doubt that would be popular on DU, but we can't have it both ways.

[Adrahil]

16. I concur.... perspective.... it's more than an art term. NT

[B2G]

5. All of those items are illegal in the UK

The only legal item you can carry is a rape whistle.

6. The situation requires the law to be changed.

[B2G]

7. Betting that won't happen.

That law is completely insane though.

[democratisphere]

10. "We" the people of the world can't just stand there helpless while a woman is being stabbed

15 times by 3 thugs. In that moment, "We" are the only people that can help to save her.

[Rustyeye77]

8. I didnt know that.

that's ridiculous..., I agree no guns but pepper spray should be ok to carry.

Damn fundies.

[B2G]

9. The law takes ridiculousness to a whole new level.

You must not get a product which is made or adapted to cause a person injury. Possession of such a product in public (and in private in specific circumstances) is against the law.

There are products which squirt a relatively safe, brightly coloured dye (as opposed to a pepper spray). A properly designed product of this nature, used in the way it is intended, should not be able to cause an injury.

However, be aware that even a seemingly safe product, deliberately aimed and sprayed in someone's eyes, would become an offensive weapon because it would be used in a way that was intended to cause injury.

[Rustyeye77]

14. Really...a whole new level. nt

[Jake Stern]

18. Look up Myleene Klass

She was warned by British police about potential legal trouble because she ran off two peeping toms by waving a knife at them FROM INSIDE HER HOUSE.

Can't make this up: she might have faced charges for chasing away two intruders. What's even sadder is that there are people on here who are totally okay with that and want that to be the situation here in the US.

[elehhhhna]

33. Wasp spray is accurate at 20 feet.

[Rustyeye77]

34. Does it temporarily blind the attacker?

never heard of that before.

[dixiegrrrrl]

30. and this attack gave the NRA LOTS of ammunition, so to speak.

Self defense is a serious issue here in the USA, even tho mis-use of firearms kills more people than terrorists have in Europe.

[pnwmom]

32. No, our biggest concern should be the availability of guns. Britain's gun laws

are why they were dealing with knives and not AK-47s.

[Coventina]

11. Oh hush...she had it coming, don' cha know?

That legacy of imperialism and all.....



(see thread in LBN for reference)

[Rustyeye77]

12. It seems its never the fundies fault.

Maybe PM May is right..."Enough is Enough".

Maybe he could explain all the other fundie attacks?

Fundie attacks... doesn't matter where it happens

London Bridge
Afghanistan
Egypt Coptic Christians
Manchester
Paris
Fresno
London
Berlin
Brussels
Nice
SAN Bernadino
9/11
7/7
Orlando
Madrid
Boston
NY/ Atlantic City
Al queda
Germany rape- fest
Paris Charlie hebdo murder-thon
And thousands I can't even remember

[JI7]

25. And claiming it was because of the vietnam war

[Warren DeMontague]

28. Oh, goody.

I remember how much fun this place was after the Charlie Hebdo attacks, when we had people seriously arguing that an arbitrarily executed death sentence for drawing blasphemous cartoons was kind of, you know, justified...

[Mosby]

13. on another website I won't name (who claim to be progressive)

Many of them decided last night that this is just another false flag OP like Manchester designed to keep the torries in office. One of the clues was the man shouting "this is for allah" instead of "allahu aqbar". For real.

[Coventina]

17. Does it perhaps rhyme with

Whack-swine snotsicles?

[melman]

21. There was plenty of that here

You don't have to go to another website for crap like that.

[Warren DeMontague]

29. You'd have to be pretty fucking committed to your phony false flag attack to die for it, no?

Seems a bit illogical.

[Codeine]

35. We had those posts here within minutes

of the first reports about the initial bridge attack.

All just innocent "speculation", of course.

[Skittles]

19. fucking religious nutcases

[Rustyeye77]

20. Fundies suck.

That poor woman is probably dead after that attack.

[roamer65]

22. ALL religious extremism is like a virus.

We all know how to deal with viruses.

[rollin74]

23. absolutely barbaric and sickening

terrorist pieces of shit

[Rustyeye77]

24. Really is.

I hope those victims recover.

[JI7]

26. fucked up piece of shit with a fucked up god

[Rustyeye77]

27. I don't have the guts to say that.

Maybe I'll quote you.
