#westminster attack

"Diversity Barriers" made me laugh more than I should have. Anyway. I wish quick recovery to the injured. Maybe, just maybe, those in power in the UK may start scratching their heads. (But I am getting too hopeful, right?)

If you are saying #PrayForLondon and then insulting Muslims, we don't want your prayers.

If you think Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London, doesn't care about the fact his city was attacked because he's Muslim and some article took his words out of context, then you're a moron.

If you're saying that this is why restrictive gun laws don't work you should probably be informed that the only gunfire was from police officers. The attacker had a knife.

If you're posting gruesome images of the victims online, exposing their identity, you're disgusting.

If you fall into any of these categories, London wants to distance itself from your hatred and idiocy.

London attack update: 8 arrested, police say they know who attacker was

While Scotland Yard has yet to release the name of the man who drove a car into Parliament's gate and fatally stabbed a police officer on Wednesday, they do think they know who he was.

Police have also arrested eight people in connection with the attack, the Washington Post reported.

"It is still our belief — which continues to be borne out by our investigation — that this attacker acted alone and was inspired by international terrorism," Scotland Yard's acting Deputy Commissioner and head of counterterrorism, Mark Rowley, said Thursday morning.

Four people died during the attack, including the perpetrator and the police officer he stabbed, Keith Palmer. The other two died on Westminster Bridge, where the attacker apparently hit them with his car, en route to the Houses of Parliament. 

According to the BBC, at least 40 people sustained injuries, seven of whom are currently in critical condition. Police officers wounded during the attack are reportedly stable, though. Read more (3/23/17 6:45 AM)

Perché una tragedia non è la fine del mondo

Da Londra, dopo aver letto troppi commenti stupidi, ignoranti o semplicemente cattivi.

Include: un'ex parlamentare Tory che risponde al figlio di Donald Trump. È molto chiara, non esattamente garbata.

checking in after the westminster terror attack: i’m okay. i live in london but it’s the middle of a university term right now, so i’m safe away from the city.

i’ve only been able to contact my dad (who works around the city centre often) and my sister, but they’ve talked to my mum since then who is also fine. we’re all safe.
