The local MP is claiming that a soldier coming from woolwich barracks was ambushed and killed in the street . And it looks like the alleged assailants have been involved in some sort of confrontation with armed police, and may well have been shot .

Sky reporting eyewitness as saying that "one of the dead was wearing a Help for Heroes T-shirt".

Julia Wilders, 51, of Charles Grinling Walk, Woolwich said: “I saw some blokes trying to resuscitate another man on the floor.
“We walked down to have a look and we saw a black bloke walking up there with a gun.
“Another bloke had two meat cleavers in his hand.
“A response team turned up.
“One of the blokes ran to the police car with the meat cleaver and they shot him.
“And then they shot the other one.”

WTF

I always tell people it's got a much worse reputation than it deserves! Not sure that'll wash now... (Though I'd maintain that this and the riots were two exceptional cases, never really feel under threat or in danger when I'm walking round town, even in the wee hours)

Now being covered live on the BBC website

A couple of my twitter friends pissing themselves at white journalists attempting to read out Boyadee's tweets without their accent slipping.

These times i was just going to the shop for some fruit and veg and i see all that!

If Boyadee goes on the media, then the U.S hegemony of laughing at black men reporting crimes they have witnessed to the media will be broken, as we get our own black guy to laugh at. About time too.

Sky reporting eyewitness as saying that "one of the dead was wearing a Help for Heroes T-shirt".

Good riddance then.

 

[Casually Red]

theres other witnesses claiming the armed cops didnt arrive for almost 20 minutes, which could mean these guys made no attempt to flee the scene . Sounds nuts .

He seems the most descriptive of all the Twitter reports.

 

[treelover]

Good riddance then.

you for real?

 

[T & P]

When I first saw the BBC and Sky simply report that someone "had been attacked" in Woolwich but still made that the top news I thought there was going to be some nasty details involved. It sounds fucking grim so far

 

[butchersapron]

It sounds planned from the target to the action to the reaction if the outlines above are accurate. Am i really the only one thinking about muslim/political radicals here? I can't be.

 

[SpookyFrank]

you for real?

It's the internet, who cares?
