Terrorist attacks throughout Europe

sounds similar to the stampede at jfk last year (where the "gunshots" turned out to be people celebrating usain bolt winning the 100m on tv)

A high voltage dead short doesn't half make a terrifying flash and bang and these are nervous times, fair enough. But these irresponsible fuckwits need shutting down for good.

fair, if it's a fuse box then it's not as stupid as the jfk thing

T*mmy R0b!ns0n getting the online piss ripped out of him is a very fine start to the weekend.

The Daily Mail article quoted a tweet from 10 days ago as breaking news.

This is why the Daily Mail is full of rubbish. The article (now deleted) stating there was a lorry attack at Oxford Circus using a tweet from 10 days ago as evidence...🤐 pic.twitter.com/Sji0olu4kE

RIP Olly Murs

Fuck me. They should be prosecuted. Not sure what for, but there’s got t9 be something.

They should have been prosecuted long before now for hate speech but this is somehow a new low. And lest we forget our PM is going to their brown-nosing parties to suck up to them!

A question I have no idea as to the answer of: are newspaper tweets considered to be published matter?

We might find out when somebody finally gets murdered after a spate of electrical/gas fault related hate crimes.

a really close friend of mine who lives in Germany was visiting London for one single day and got caught up in this, what are the chances? He spent an hour hiding under a table in complete darkness and is really shaken up.

I don't think so, that thread has other uses and I don't want to worry that something's happened every it gets bumped for whatever reason.

this has been bugging me

surely 'idiot crowd panics over nothing in oxford circus' is pure 'rolling london' and certainly not 'terrorist attacks throughout europe'

Can you stop this.

Can you stop this otm

too soon

surely 'idiot crowd panics over nothing in oxford circus' is pure 'rolling london' and certainly not 'terrorist attacks throughout europe'

Can we just skip straight to the bit when you belatedly realise how obnoxious this is?

If a bit of the old fisticuffs down Carnaby Street is enough to start a disorderly stampede these days, it doesn't do much to dispel the Metropolitan Elites = soft as shite rep!

*folds arms* "Ah ha, I know exactly what this massive police presence on London's busiest street is, before all the people who are actually there, it's the Rolling London thread for me!"

Even though it was nothing, it's a combination of annoying thread policing, being a dick towards the original poster and wise-after-the-fact, wake-up sheeple bollocks.

'rolling london' is actually about terrorism tho

& LBI knows i mean him no ill

it was just plain old pedantry

calz otm btw

The far-right gained tried to gain a bit of capital, stoking up fears at this incident - so yeah a bit of pedantry and time-wasting bull crap is just what we need.

twitter afaict was nothing but ppl mocking ol' yaxley-lennon

That this has somehow ended with Kolo Toure telling Piers Morgan to shut the fuck up on Twitter has in some way made it all worthwhile.

Soon after I posted it to this thread I regretted it. For the sole reason that it was too soon to determine which thread it should go in, ie. nothing was sure yet. And I don't want to be one of "those guys", y'know like the DM crying wolf and using every rumor for their own sick agenda. I'm not one of those guys but prob played into it, idk.

We need a 'Rolling something's up but we don't know yet if it fits in the rolling London or trrsm thread thread'

hostages taken at supermarket in SW France; one dead, ISIS connection claimed

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-43512791

Four dead (reportedly) including the terrorist. His call for the release of Salah Abdeslam unsurprisingly unsuccessful.

Van drives into crowd in Münster, Germany, at least 3 dead

Three including the assailant, who shot himself.

Just a random schmo with a history of suicide attempts, nothing to see here.

This moron's effort was so crap no-one's even mentioned it on ILX yet:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-45180120

Two people were treated in hospital for their injuries but discharged.

extremely shoddy performance, 2/10 at best

glasgow airport guy possibly even worse

"You won't take me alive ..pigs! erm well maybe next time"

It was reported on the BBC news i heard this morning as mostly a commuter headache.

No Smeato this time round so this guy has no excuses.

(xp) One of my workmates was moaning about his delayed bus journey today, the only time I heard it mentioned.

what do failed terrorist martyrs get as an afterlife punishment? 72 Chuckle Brothers wi' reet appetising hairy arses!

glasgow airport guy possibly even worse

something i tend to forget: there were 2 guys, one died of burns, the other is serving life in prison

A dark green Jeep Cherokee, registration number L808 RDT,[16] travelling at a speed estimated by a witness as about 30 mph[17] (48 km/h), struck security bollards in a terror ramming attack at the main entrance to Glasgow Airport.[2] The vehicle was reported to have several petrol containers and propane gas canisters on board. One eyewitness said flames issued from beneath the car when it hit the building, while another eyewitness said it appeared the driver was trying to drive through the terminal doors. According to reports, the car was occupied by two "Asian-looking" men.[18] When the Jeep failed to explode, one man (later identified as Abdulla) threw petrol bombs from the passenger seat and the other (Ahmed) doused himself in petrol and set it alight.[6] Police indicated the vehicle burst into flames when it was driven at the terminal.[19] An eyewitness noted that a man got out of the car and began to fight with police.[20] Another eyewitness said that the man was throwing punches and repeatedly shouting "Allah".[21][22][23] The man was arrested and later identified as Bilal Abdulla, a UK-born doctor of Iraqi descent who was working at the Royal Alexandra Hospital. Another man exited the car and ran into the terminal building while he was on fire and began writhing on the ground, before being kicked in the testicles by an airport employee, John Smeaton,[24] who was awarded the Queen's Gallantry Medal for his heroism.

(I can hear Yakety Sax in the background when I read that)

kicking someone in the bollocks while they writhing about on the deck, on fire, seems a strange definition of gallantry to say the least.

He was wearing his best trainers though.

flaming gallantry

not seen such gallantry since this local "legend" known as Marbles was having a piss with one hand resting on an electric cement mixer, his brother thought he was being electrocuted and decided the best action would be to smash him hard in the back of the head with a shovel, to separate him from the device. He was never the same after that and started speaking in tongues and getting arrested for exposing himself to pensioners, which is a form of terror attack - so fair to say he was radicalised in some way!

free radicalised

Another layer to the smeato story is that there was another civilian, a taxi driver if I remember correctly, who intervened, did more, was injured, but was ignored by the press. Smeato came to prominence based on the TV interviews in the immediate aftermath which ended up on tv globally.

if you aren't a fireman or five 0 you need to stay out of this hero game.

my type of heroes don't fucking take selfies with shit royal trinkets or stand for minute's silences or do fucking stupid guard of honour type exhibitions with their stupid fucking fireman sam hats lined in front of them!
