Re: Terrorist Attack Near Parliament, London
This was going to happen sooner or later and will no doubt happen again, quite likely with far greater loss of life. It's a sad fact of modern life and there's very little we can do about it other than be aware of the possibility at all times and take whatever basic precautions we realistically can.
Thoughts to the families and loved ones of all the victims and those tasked with dealing with the attack and it's aftermath, especially the police who were in the front line.

The assailant is one of them thankfully so no further time or resources will need to be wasted on the ****.

Yes just heard it on Sky news. RIP brave officer

Beg to differ.
9mm is a heavier round, and it was at short range.
Anyway, most important thing is that the ******* was taken down.

And the FN SLR used to upset IRA snipers who thought that ducking behind a brick wall was a safe zone...
