ISIS is praising the attack, but not (yet) claiming responsibility.

No no no!

Spontaneous demonstration against travel and electronic device restrictions.

Certainly NOTHING planned.

Should we do a Union Jack filter on our Facebook Profile pics, or go straight to lighting up buildings with colored lights?  I'm unclear as to where we are on the "Terrorist Attack Reaction Checklist".

I'm sure President Trump has told Sec. Tillerson to prep James Taylor.

Whoa, Whoa, Whoa.... I don't think we're at a full James Taylor yet... Maybe a Dan Fogelberg...

I saw a photo of the terrorist.  Looks like a pale skinned British guy.........okay no, just kidding.  He looks like a Middle Eastern guy more or less.

That's not enough. We need Neil Young and Amy Schumer, and let's have Jim Carrey on stand-by, just in case.

I believe right now it is the Union Jack filter for your book of face profile.

If I were skinned alive, I'd probably flip out and kill a bunch of people, too.


Here's a photo of the perp:

You're right, they ought to slow down any errant vehicles pretty well.

Maybe pakistani.  In the UK, "Asian" is the code word for muslim.

I've noted they've been making a big deal that he is british-born.

Khalid Masood was his name.

From the Guardian:

Quote
Police name 52-year-old born in Kent as man responsible for attack in which three victims have died and seven more are critically injured

Highlighting that it's NOT immigrants that did this. No no no no no. The man was born in Kent.

There is nothing at all to fear from immigrants as a result of his actions.

And here's part of the problem, common in the MSM both there and here. A UK journalist looks at the "glass half full" aspect of the diversity of the victims:

Oh, hey, I've got just the statement for that:

It's quite simple. These people don't consider the rabble that populate their countries their schools (nor their parents) as "their people." Doesn't matter the race or the sex. "Their people" are going to be fine, so any sacrifices by the rabble are perfectly acceptable.

It's not like "their people" or "their children" are the ones going to be raped, murdered, assaulted, or robbed. "Their people" are insulated from the rabble and the future client population that they are importing. 

The "elites" don't consider themselves "American" "Bristish" anymore, and are, frankly, embarrassed by such notions. (Not that the politicians will ever admit to such, though.)

Some worthy comments:

UK journalist celebrates rich diversity of 30 tourists run over by Jihadist as evidence of multiculturalism's success.

Thank god that people of all races and creeds can come together to be mowed down by terrorists in broad daylight.

His birth name is Adrian Russell Ajao. He converted to Islam while in prison.

Uh huh.

So, what you're saying is that immigration, per se, isn't the problem, it's Islam? Ok, I can accept that.

Incidentally, what is the origin of "Ajao". Clearly celtic, right?

Most reports say that his birth name was Adrian Russell Elms. Wikipedia then says it was "subsequently amended to Adrian Russell Ajao." That sounds vaguely Spanish, but Wikipedia says no. "Masood is said to have assumed his stepfather’s surname after his mother’s marriage to a Nigerian."

Sometimes it's Islam. Sometimes it's being a *expletive deleted*che who can't get with the ladies. Results are more or less the same (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_Isla_Vista_killings).

Homegrown bungholes seem to be prevalent in these things.
