"Again please be patient we have 3000+ new page likes in a very short space of time, Our thought must be with the dead soldier and his family, We will never surrender to this SCUM"

here we go...

I said earlier it had a fucked up GTA feeling to it, even more so with the dudes just stood around waiting for the police to arrive and being talked to by people in the street walking past. The old woman with the shopping basket walking past as if nothing had happened. Surreal.

Yeh.

It's like, the disconnectionion between the images of them standing around and the headline of it being a major terrorist incident.

Slow news day, that's why it's all over the press.

A soldier being hacked up with a meat cleaver by a bloke who then talks to the cameras with his hands dropping blood, and is subsequently shot by armed police, would be newsworthy whatever the day tbf.

The thing I'm finding a bit bizarre is the way people are going on about Woolwich being a rough area, as if that has anything to do with it. I used to live five minutes walk from where this happened and it could be a bit sketchy round there, but this isn't your average street stabbing, shooting or whatever - it's evidently a targeted attack on a soldier. More like when the IRA blew up the pub across the road from the barracks, really...

Good riddance then.

You really are a nasty little shit, aren't you.

I am not disputing that in any way. I don't know how to put it. Something about the way it is being presented just doesn't sit right with me. I won't say any more than that though because it is based on nothing really.

Some of the things that happened today have never happened before on these shores - killers stood by victims asking to be filmed, for example, footage reaching press with hours - its going to look strange on TV.

That's not why it's all over the news at all. Do you really think this would be down the order on any other day? Really?

it deserves the coverage, no argument about that. I was responding to J Ed's post.

That was intentional, right?

All those likes but no-one more talking about them? (I really don't understand how the 'talking about' thing works, tbh)

Lee Jasper seems to be getting people scared based on what he has read on twitter https://twitter.com/LeeJasper/status/337300830061473793

Doesn't seem like the EDL have actually gone to Woolwich yet...

a while ago wasn't there a thread on here about two black Muslims from Woolwich (or somewhere near) who set up their own alcohol prohibition area, and were confiscating cans and bottles off pissed locals on their way home? can't find the thread now, but pondered that they might be contenders for this

There have been worries about and predictions of reprisals following previous outbreaks of violent Islamonuttery in Britain, but so far it's come to very little. A window of a mosque broken here, rudeness in the street there...

They were Asian, not black, IIRC

just looking at a millwall forum and theyre getting worked up

 

[Frumious B.]

So what's a good way to let Muslims in this country know that lots of non-Muslims don't bear them any ill will? Serious question. How do we counteract the EDL message? Even it's just a FB like or a tweet or something.

Don't think they were black.

I believe this may have been in Whitechapel.

I would be more surprised if they didn't.

One of those fools was white even ginger if I remember correctly I for one would have no problem if they got a savage beating out of this.
But it wont be stupid cunts like that who will get it. More than odds on it will be a sikh or hindu who gets stabbed.
Bit like the russian student who got stabbed in brighton because germany kicked us out of the euro footy match

It's just the way communication is in the hands of ordinary people, it's great.

Er...Live alongside them as friends and work mates?

I think tweets and likes ultimately have their limits. But then I'm a bit old school.
