I was in the AG nearby at the time , wasn't till I got back to work that I saw what was happening.
Still a developing story, but massive praise and credit to the members of the public who took on the suspected terrorist armed with knives and a device strapped to his chest and the Police who took action
Thankfully the device turned out to be a hoax, but them and the Police didn’t know that when tackling him.
Very, very brave people.
No chance mate, absolute heroes.Assuming everything is as it has been reported, let's just hope the copper that pulled the trigger isn't put through a trial just to show fair play...
I assume that if there’s a vest, be it real or not, they have to assume it’s a threat to life and deal with it decisively.Assuming everything is as it has been reported, let's just hope the copper that pulled the trigger isn't put through a trial just to show fair play...
So much for Tags. Transport them to South Georga.A known terrorist wearing a tag who was released from prison 12 months ago being reported. Front page of the Times tomorrow.
I have seen other videos of more shots being fired from a distance , are they still shooting at him ? If so why ? Or was there someone else
and can understand people feeling uncomfortable about the situation
I am uncomfortable with shooting him. Just am.
So apparently the attacker was at an event in the Fishmongers Hall, run by an organisation set up to help re-educate convicted criminals. He was convicted of terrorist activities however judges ruled that an indeterminate life sentence was not fair and his sentence was changed to a fixed tariff.
He was out on licence and being monitored by the authorities however they have around 2,000 of these types that they need to keep track off. Surely this proves that there are some that there is no chance of re-educating, it should be a case of throwing away the key. There will continue to be these events whilst they are allowed to roam free.
There was a tweet from collymore that one of the public who helped stop him was a convicted killer on day release who apparently killed a teenager with learning disabilities
Not sure how true
Although he'll never be able to repay the family of his victim he's, at least, gone part way to repaying Society with his actions.
Once retreated if there’s any sign of life (movement) then more rounds are required as they don’t know the vest is a hoax, it’s a text book ‘double tap’ retreat then if the threat isn’t fully neutralised then fire as many rounds as is deemed necessary.
It would seem the man who came away with the knife was a plain clothes transport police officer, so he was able to dig into the training he’s had, but the other members of public with a tusk & fire extinguisher who then all took the terrorist to the ground eating up vital minutes until the armed police arrived clearly showed the great resolve we have as a nation, and that we won’t cower to these murderers.
