Please don't be...

Damn.

Well onto the rest...

A man has been killed in a machete attack and two suspects shot and wounded by police in Woolwich, south-east London.

The Met Police said a murder inquiry was being led by its Counter Terrorism Command. Prime Minister David Cameron said the UK would "never buckle" in the face of terror attacks.

Footage has emerged showing a man wielding a bloodied meat cleaver and making political statements.

Police confirmed two men had been arrested in connection with the murder.

There are unconfirmed reports that the dead man was a soldier.
Man at scene of Woolwich incident This man was photographed brandishing a knife and speaking to a woman at the scene

Both French President Francois Hollande and MP Nick Raynsford said the dead man had been a soldier at Woolwich barracks.

The footage shown on the ITV website shows a man, speaking to the camera, saying: "We must fight them as they fight us. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth."

He added: "I apologise that women have had to witness this today, but in our land our women have to see the same. You people will never be safe. Remove your government, they don't care about you."

Radio BBC says the man rushed the police.

Can't get net to load video but if someone else can;

As people stand aghast at the terrifying scene unfolding in front of them, one woman is seen pulling her shopping trolley along behind her, seemingly oblivious to the horror.

As the man finishes addressing a few members of the public, he turns back towards the victim lying on his side in the road. He then talks to a second man.

A blue car is parked on the pavement, a short distance from the victim in the road.

It has significant damage to its front, with debris and markings on the walkway.

ITV's footage then cuts to two men being detained by police on the ground nearby, while passers by mill around just behind them.

Some are filming the drama as it unfolds on camera phones before being shepherded away by officers.

A picture of a second suspect was posted on Twitter, showing a man holding a large knife talking to a passer-by.

Bystander effect is universal.

What do you expect bystanders to do? Run up on a crazed knife wielding maniac who just fucking murdered and hacked a guy up?

Exactly. People who walk the streets with a gun on their person must number in their dozens at best

People who filmed it are odd though

I'm not judging anyone. Its usually noted when live horribility happens, but its usually for China/India stories.

They're calling it a “terrorist incident”.

News.com has a lot of info on the incident.

I don't live in the UK so i can't tell if you are being sarcastic because they can or being serious because they can't.

the ": could imply either situation.

Why does the article completely gloss over what his political statements are ?

Because he's a mad animal whose political beliefs hold no ground in reality. You want him to inspire other nutbags with the same backwards beliefs?
