Your research involves reading my posts. Digging real deep there. I quoted him on something he said and then in one post said I would be alarmed and it was a gaff. That was a fact followed by an opinion. You saying "Only you know if you are being intentionally dishonest or just fell for Trump's BS." because I just quoted him then gave my opinion. Completely unsupported attack. You disputed them without knowing he said it twice and you were quoting an entirely different answer. That's right, now you know what quote means. Actually I quoted a press conference so... I just posted the quote and my opinion about them and then I had to defend my quotes for some reason. Look how many times I had to ask what I had wrong and all the deflections and attacks that ensued. If any of you guys had bothered, you could have just said "He said all those phrases, i disagree on the meaning" You have to agree on the facts first, you gave your opinions and attack first.
So we have a mix of foreign- and European-born terrorists involved in this attack. Does this yet eclipse the notion that despotic Middle East countries with depressed economies are to blame for terrorism?
By only including European attacks, you are effectively ignoring probably 80% of Islamic terrorist attacks that happen in shitty war torn regions.
Yawn.... you never quoted the full speech and intentionally keep leaving out the context. You keep deflecting. Just admit you fell for Trump's and move on. There was no reason to be alarmed with the increased police presence is the correct answer. Keep trying slugger...
the london mayor clearly said not to be worried about increased police presence in the wake of the attacks. no different then when after 9/11 gwb told americans to go about their daily lives. he did not say not to be worried about terrorism...anyone arguing otherwise is just being an obtuse, dishonest a**hole.
Jeez... Trump supporter congress Chris Collins and Trump's son both try to defend Trump's offensive tweets about London's mayor on the Mayor. "waaaah... the bad Mayor started it first". Juvenile! GOP Rep. Collins: London mayor started feud with Trump http://www.cnn.com/2017/06/06/politics/chris-collins-donald-trump-london-cnntv/
The fact is you never properly quoted anything and intentionally left out the context. You have been given multiple chances to back up your claim.
I was in the London Bridge area when the terrorist attack happened. Needless to say, it wasn't a nice experience. I didn't see the terrorists or any of the victims directly, but I was literally two-ish streets away and had a view of London Bridge - people running all over the place, police, ambulances, streets cordoned off, panic, wondering if the suspects are still at large, frantically updating the police twitter account, news websites, etc. When you're right in the middle of things, it's crazy how slow time goes and how difficult it is not knowing what's going on. Our group was very aware that the London attacks of 2005 involved multiple locations and bombings, so we weren't sure what was going to happen. We hid in a pub for about an hour before being confident that the police had secured the area, after which we made our way back home. It made me think of Yung-T's experience with his brother. I have/had the same attitude - 'what are the chances of being involved? no point worrying, car accidents are more likely' - but once you're actually in the thick of it, wow. I will freely admit that I was scared sh*tless and I have felt a sense of worry when entering the Tube and other major landmarks since Saturday. I'm aware that I'm maybe emotionally exaggerating the experience a little as it just happened. There were obviously thousands of people present and I wasn't right there on London Bridge, but it was definitely a jarring experience I won't forget. I feel so sorry for the victims, absolutely horrible. I don't actually know what to think or what solutions we can implement to 'fix' radicalisation in Europe.
You're not exaggerating at all. I'd be completely scared shitless at that moment, as well. Thankfully, you are physically OK. The emotional part might still haunt you here and there. Prayers to you. It has to be a multi-dimensional solution. But not just talking about it- and if you've got people on the radar, there has to be more done- heck, if there's proof they have supported ISIS, kick them out permanently or something. I'm not talking about going the internment route- I'm talking about those who have been found to be promoting ISIS propaganda. It's terrible all around.
Mayor of London knows at least 200 ISIS fighters are in London right now but has no idea exactly where. Claims "we don't have the resources to track them".
It seems like that should be something that would be coordinated at the national level. Not the mayor's office. Why are you attacking the mayor of London?
