Another cut throat, armed police out in force.
Your previous post said, "The regressive left wants the same things what isis wants to destroy western civilization."
You literally said they want the same thing as ISIS.
Oh my god.

You're right, there are people on here who say things like "regressive leftists want to destroy Western civilisation with ISIS". How do you get through to that level of crazy?
Get the fck out with this shit.
I see that too, but a looking through history, even the most everlasting things only existed all too fleetingly.
Also, why be so vigilant? People who are on their phone while driving kill more people a year than terrorism.
Sometimes inaction is the best action, and no magic solution exists. But demanding action, for the sake of it, that can definitely be worse than inaction - for what, the theatre of security?
Really though, action can be taken fortunately, the police services are massively underfunded and need support.
It's worth pointing out that I feel exactly what you feel. And I know where it comes from. But it so important to do the right thing, even if emotionally we want to do something else. We owe it to future generations.

It's even more ironic when it was the right wing george bush that kicked this whole fucking thing off.
I don't know about this. I think there's a truth to it. But recently on the radio there was a call in, and it feels like some of these younger folks are "groomed" in a very real sense. First they're offered protection from racists, and incorporated into gangs etc..
Felt like a typical gang racket (to me for the first time). And this was directly from a person who was in his own words "groomed" and not offered counter narratives until he spoke to an imam. Which then turned him around.

He probably wants to ban Muslims from travelling regardless of where their journeys originate from.

Yes. London Bridge and Borough Market. There was an unrelated stabbing at Vauxhall that got lumped in.
So fucking what you asked a question i fucking give it you?

These fucks have strode around slitting peoples' throats.
Truly evil.
Truly evil.
Sky News keeps repeating footage of the same police van zipping past, and the same people walking on a sidewalk... if you didn't notice you might think that all the police cars in London are piling up into the same place.
edit - they stopped doing that finally, after a good 5-10 minutes...

I can't argue with that stat, because it is undeniable. I don't know, I just get so pissed off when I see this shit in the news. I see red, man. These people are just trying to go about their days, living life, and boom, it's all over.
London Bridge and Borough Market are pretty much the same area.

I don't see any end to these attacks. There's nothing stopping anyone from just swerving a vehicle into a load of pedestrians.

Jesus man. How long ago was Manchester? Barely a week? I mean horrible things have been happening daily in countries all over the world but never this often and bad in countries like England, France, Germany and so on. For some reason my country The Netherlands is still being scared of these horrible things and naturally I hope it stays that way but what the hell man.
I don't follow the news a whole lot anymore and I really wonder what the reason is of all these attacks that have been happening a lot this year, last year and even 2015.

Alt-right dudes are desperately seeking the nazi equivalent on the left, so they run with nonsense:
People on this forum want to destroy western civilization?

Calm yourself.
You start complaining about the regressive left without knowing what the term means? After you fucking said that "they want the same thing as ISIS"?
You're not a very bright individual, and very clearly buy into other extremist's conspiracies from the extreme right. Good job kid.
Can't disagree with you . It makes me furious and sad. In grief about the loss.

What the fuck. Seriously? I have no words for this. I can't even imagine such a thing.
People have been attacked and possibly killed.
No one really cares if you get banned or not.

I think the timing coincides with the rise of ISIS. A lot of extremist junk being posted online and people getting radicalized.
You really are a snowflake.
My god, how much indoctrination have you undergone?
Another cut throat, armed police out in force.
Easy to judge from your seat, dude. A fluid situation in an already tense environment. Where are these mythical poised police you allude to?
Have you never heard of ISIS and their jihad?
The peacetime is actually the abnormal part, the UK, London, are no stranger over the years to sustained attacks and terror, its just that we have been fortunate to have spells of years where things died down, but this is very much the way things go, sadly.

It's both shocking but completely unsurprising that ISIS has begun ramping up their attacks in the UK as their state in Raqqah begins to flounder, and the fighters return home to continue the mission, or are converted at home by its remaining operatives via social media and other online platforms.
Someone else pointed out that he literally copied and pasted it from Quora.

I don't disagree. But Muslim terrorists have a very specific profile, not entirely reducible to religion. If all Muslims wanted to commit acts of terror, there would be dozens of attacks like this every day.
What governments and Muslim leaders must do is ameliorate the factors which convince young Western Muslims that their only option is a suicide attack against non-Muslims.

Two weeks, and Westminster was two months before that.
It's not yet known what the particular level of association - if any - the attackers in this current case have with the likes of IS, but if they were actually directed by them (and not just 'inspired by'), then it might be because IS is still losing ground over in Iraq, with the Battle of Mosul going against them. They're getting desperate.
Edit:
Uh... what? I wasn't trying to judge, I was trying to sum up in the most minimal way possible. If you took my statement to mean I was suggesting the police as trigger happy, that's not what I was going for. Entirely understandable they'd respond with caution to any new vehicle entering the area.
