They may have done. But the point I'm making is that most deeply illogical and troubling violence has nothing at all to do with mental illness and given that a/ there's currently no evidence of anyand b/ the guy gives his reasons, albeit fucked up ones I find it pretty dumb and prejudiced to assume it has to be the actions of someone unwell. Perfectly together people can be terrifying, that's the unsettling truth.
Don't be so fucking stupid.

I like Boya Dee's commentary. Lots of the media are asking him to get in touch. Maybe we'll see him on the news tomorrow.

Really, Stan? You can't seriously think that this never happened?

That's unbearable to read, I had to give up when it got gory. No wonder Obama has mixed feelings about us.

Agreed. Wait and see as before.
they didnt have photoshop in 1951
"In 1952, soon after being appointed High Commissioner, General Templer had said ‘the hard core of communists in this country are fanatics and must be, and will be, exterminated.’ That same year the Daily Worker carried a photo of a smiling Royal Marine commando in Malaya, holding the severed head of a dead guerrilla. Shortly after, a second photo was shown, with another marine holding two severed heads. The authorities claimed that heads and hands were taken from the bodies of ‘terrorists’ for identification purposes. But many soldiers regarded them as trophies, which showed their unit’s effectiveness: ‘Other photos reproduced in British papers showed severed hands propped next to severed heads in mock salute and dead guerrillas stretched out like tiger skins in front of the units that had “bagged” them.’ [28] This was eerily reminiscent of the way English soldiers had displayed Irish heads, during the Elizabethan conquests 400 years previously."

Where's the fun in that? This is the internet, not the wireless.
Of course evil shit happens in war. Very evil shit.
That photograph (a few posts earlier isn't real). Other photographs are real. War has to be scary. Woolwich today doesn't.
We are a country at war. Always have been. Therefore, retaliation is expected. This isn't conventional retaliation. It is some random nutter from East London being a scary random nutter. There is no war context and ITV should lose their broadcasting licence IMO.

It's an eye witness account from Twitter. Seems bona fide, has been doing rounds from early on.

Brooker outlines how not to cover a lunatic murderer, 2009.
Mass media don't give a shit. They love death far too much for that.

You can't rely on them. They always turn up late. People around just get on with it.
This story is nothing without the video.
A video of a madman who has apparently just killed an innocent person in a London suburb. It is totally irresponsible of any broadcaster to put that footage out. The consequences could be horrific. London is not a war zone.
Other attrocities have been recorded photographically within war zones. Non-attrocites have been published falsely in order to scare the opposition. Many images were doctored to achieve such results.
Here we are talking about a random person with no official alliegance to any recognised terrorist group, army, or government running lose on the streets killing innocent people and then offering an impromptu interview to an apparently 'not really fussed' passer-by.
That passer-by then apparently contacted ITV to supply the footage which ITV promptly put out on the internet.
David Cameron will attend a meeting tomorrow morning after his blow job and OJ.
Crisis on the streets of London just like it has always been. This time captured for 'real'.
It is very different to what is happening in real war zones. The worrying thing is that shit like this put out by ITV could escalate, because people seem to like being scared from a safe distance (internet/TV).
It has all escalated from video footage on the internet. A photo in tomorrows papers would just have been another page Four 1 inch column. Why? I don't really know.

The scout lady has given an even better interview to the Guardian:
"I was just on my way home after a trip to France. I was visiting my children in Plumstead and I had taken a 53 bus to get to Parliament Square where I was going to meet my children and walk to Victoria coach station before getting the coach to Helston in Cornwall.
"I was sitting on the lower deck and the bus stopped. I could clearly see a body in the road and a crashed car. I trained as a first aider when I was a Brownie leader, so I asked someone to watch my bag and then got off to see if I could help.
"I went over to the body where there was a lady sitting there and she said he was dead. She had comforted him by putting something under his back and a jacket over his head. I took his pulse and there was none. I couldn't see the man's face but I could see no evidence that suggested someone had tried to cut off his head. I could see nothing on him to suggest that he was a soldier.
"Then a black guy with a black hat and a revolver in one hand and a cleaver in the other came over. He was very excited and he told me not to get close to the body. I didn't really feel anything. I was not scared because he was not drunk, he was not on drugs. He was normal. I could speak to him and he wanted to speak and that's what we did.
"I spoke to him for more than five minutes. I asked him why he had done what he had done. He said he had killed the man because he [the victim] was a British soldier who killed Muslim women and children in Iraq and Afghanistan. He was furious about the British army being over there.
"There was blood on the pavement by the car where the man on the ground had been hit by it.At first there was no blood by the body but as I talked to the man it began to flow which worried me because blood needs a beating heart to flow. But I didn't want to annoy the man by going back to the body.
I asked him what he was going to do next because the police were going to arrive soon. He said it was a war and if the police were coming, he was going to kill them. I asked him if that was a reasonable thing to do but it was clear that he really wanted to do that. He talked about war but he did not talk about dying and then he left to speak to someone else.Ingrid Loyau-Kennett
"I went to speak to the other man who was quieter and more shy. I asked him if he wanted to give me what he was holding in his hand, which was a knife but I didn't want to say that. He didn't agree and I asked him: 'Do you want to carry on?' He said: 'No, no, no.' I didn't want to upset him and then the other man came back to me. I asked him what he wanted to do next.
"At that point, there were so many people around that I didn't want him to get scared or agitated. I kept talking to him to keep him occupied.
"Then I saw my bus was moving and I knew that the police would arrive very soon. I asked him if there was anything else I could do for him because my bus was about to leave and he said no.
"I got on the bus and, after 10 seconds, someone came on and told everyone to get down. I saw a police car pulling up and a police man and policewoman getting out. The two black men ran towards the car and the officers shot them in the legs, I think.
"When the shooting started, I was not scared. There was so many women screaming and crying on the bus, it took me a minute to calm them down. I didn't have a moment to think of myself.
"I could see the man with the black hat on was badly hurt as he was being operated on but both were still moving."The bus then started to move away. They dropped us in the middle of Lewisham which really annoyed me because I had no idea how to get from there to Parliament Square. "I am just happy that I managed to do something that might have prevented more trouble. I feel fine at the moment but I suppose the shock could hit me later."
