Man that's awful. :(

2017 just keeps getting worse.

Dude, you can't blame the year for what has happened. Blame the people who cause these things to happen and with deaths, that's just the way life goes.

This sucks though on so many levels. My thoughts are with all of those who are victims of this attack and their families.

We get knocked down, we get up again... darkness and hatred cannot banish other darkness and hatred, only compassion, the light and getting the f*** on with life regardless can do that...

It's weird, how often are there terror incidents in the UK? You usually hear stuff like this happening in the U.S., France, or Middle eastern countries, but rarely in the UK.

It seems like hatred is rearing it's ugly head in all corners of the globe. We also still have North Korea to tend with because all the Asian countries are under fear of nuclear strike.

They take security very seriously in the United Kingdom. As for this attack... it was a guy speeding and running over people. Not much could have been done to prevent this and he was eventually gunned down by the police, so...

I know you are gonna tell me Americans do as well... but no. Americans might be paranoid and have lots of technological means but their security isn't exactly the best in the world. The world champions in that are Israel by far.

This is the 2nd terrorist incident since the 7/7/05 bombings but we used to have a lot of terrorist attacks when the IRA was bombing us and if it wasn't for the Good Friday Agreement, they probably still bombing us today.

It's a shame that every terrorist attack is blamed on Muslims but we weren't blaming Catholics on the IRA Terrorist attacks.

Europe had way more terrorist attacks in the 70s-80s but they were commited by fellow Europeans, usually far-right or far-left factions. That was truly the age of terrorism in Europe.

Also Americans can just easily get a gun in shop and that's why they have so many shootings. In the UK we have very strict gun laws so it's very hard to get a gun in the UK, we still have shootings but it's rare but our biggest problem is Knife crime.

Well the lesson here is no matter where you live, there will always be crazy/bad/evil people. Filthy criminal scum roaming our fair streets is where the inspiration for superheroes and comic books came from, because we want heroes to clean up crime and put the scumbags behind bars.

Oh boy, the gun loving Americans who read this will tear you into pieces for this :lol:

Not that easily. And that's utter bullsh*t.

Depends where you live. Up here in New York it's very hard to buy a firearm, but if you live down south where people are less educated and shoot each other all the time, it's a lot easier.

I remember being shocked when I was in Florida and saw guns literally hanging on the walls of Target for anyone to buy.

Supposedly, shootings and gun violence in general is at its lowest since the 80s/90s.

I've always wondered how many Americans actually own guns. Like a percentage or something. I can see it being common in rural areas but in big cities like NYC and LA I doubt most people own guns?

I think the only people who own guns here are hunters, cops, military folk and criminals. I think it's pretty hard for someone to get a firearm license here.

Says the semi-retarded shut in.

There are gun crimes in NY, too.

A lot of people do. They're less likely to be enthusiasts going to the range all the time, but they have them just in case.

New York is considered one of the safest states in the U.S. to live in. There are police at every corner who will arrive within 5 minutes of you calling them.

Apparently Alaska has one of the highest criem rates in the country. What exactly goes on there?

Every authoritarians wet dream.

Check out "Alaska State Troopers". They party hard out there.

I wonder how Alaskans feel being so far away from their actual country.

Better to have police on every corner than gangsters/mobster/drug dealers on every corner. Granted nowadays police shoot innocent people, but you're probably better off.

Cyber, do you remember the days when NYC was quite dangerous?

Lol, life is not a comic book Peter.

Guys keep in mind Cubed does NOT watch the news, and I'm fairly certain he does not read newspapers either. All his info comes from TV shows movies or internet sites. So- yeah, pretty skewed.

Contrary to what he velieves, no everyone in the South does NOT own a gun, nor ro most of us run around shooting each other. Mostly it's hunters and people worried about being robbed who keep guns, and we STILL have to go through hoops to get one even from a place like Target. (Except for rifles and shotguns- those have fewer restrictions and requirements for whatever reason. Probably because they are hard to hide.)

On this, I agree with you. I bought a gun. Its not easy. Forms, proof of id, background check. Then there was the thugish fellow who was from out of state who wanted to buy one but was turned down because he failed the bg check.

The UK is being attacked because y'all a soft target. Citizens cannot defend against the evil.

The places in the US that have been hit are are liberal gun free zones. Armed citizens, those legally allowed to be armed mind you, should be allowed to carry everywhere.

A tool is just a tool, evil or harm is done by the person weilding it.

As for muslims being blamed, if their "holy book" didn't instruct them to kill the "infidels" (also known as every other person thats not a muslim) everywhere and they weren't behind most of these incidents.... smells like a duck, quacks like a duck and tastes like a duck, guess what? Its duck.

Hmm... Maybe take that sh*t back to Breitbart.

NY/NYC is a liberal cesspool. Not as dangerous as Chicago/Illinois, but still dangerous.

Y'all would be surprised the number of criminals carrying guns jn places law abiding citizens don't have guns because of stupid laws... like no guns on college campuses... or no guns on school grounds (teachers and admin, and maybe a few 18 year old seniors)...

Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine are in the top of the list for safest states, or NH will be soon enough now that they have Constitutional Carry...

Before anyone says getting a gun is easy, go give it a shot. Pun not intended, but it works.

You refering to me? Haha

Good guys with guns save lives.

If you thought every person around you was carrying concealed, would you start something?
I carry daily, everywhere I go except the post office. I'm not crazy, but there was a drive by shooting a couple days ago about 5 minutes from where I live. I'm legal, I've gone to the range and I know the law.

If you don't like guns, don't own them. Pretty simple.

I'm 100% pro-Second Amendment (and the rest of The Bill of Rights/Constitution, for that matter). I was referring to your bigoted rant. What are you, like 82 years old or something?

Isn't this the guy who said Obama was a Muslim who hated Christians and the United States?

I agree with everything here except for that last part. The Koran does not command its followers to kill unbelievers who are peaceful, only those who are committing acts like terrorism, rape, murder. Have you read the whole book for yourself before accusing it of promoting terrorism?

Many of these terrorists don't even read the book they claim to follow and instead prefer listening to the propaganda of hateful and nationalistic preachers who promise them 72 virgins in a sensual paradise when they die. But according to their own book, the final place for murderers and terrorists is straight to hell no matter what.

They believe they are freeing the oppression of their people back home in the Middle East but they're ignorant to the fact that their book condemns those who kill and use the ends to justify the means, it doesn't. Murder and terrorism are wrong matter what.

Condolences to the victims and their families, and the United Kingdom. We will stand strong against terrorism and no matter how much they attack us, we will never let them weaken our spirit and our values.

Unless you were directly affected by it, don't worry everybody, politically correct culture will help us forget about it in 1-3 months just like it did with other terrorist attacks of the past:

Hell no to political correctness. The root of the problem is ideology, not weapons or economic conditions. Unfortunately, we can't change someone elses ideology but the best way is to stand up for our values against terrorism and keep standing for it firmly no matter what. If what these terrorists use to kill others, they call Islam, then I am fully against this form of "Islam", no exceptions, even if its not PC.

When political correctness denies statistics and facts, then what should society do? :-?

stand Up against both political correctness and the ideology of the terrorists.

Nuff said.

We're not a soft target, we've had decades of practice from other units such as IRA to get used to such methods. The fact that he wasn't using a gun is testament to some of our laws in general. There is also no conclusive evidence that arming citizens makes them safer from such incidents, in fact very few have been ended by civilians, it's nearly always the police or the perpetrator shooting themselves.

Vehicles do appear to be a particularly popular form of "terrorism" currently, should we ban them as well?

I suppose I would consider this a US chat forum, so as an update for those that don't don't, one of your own was lost in the attack.

I agree with FW Leo here on the subject of terrorism. These radical Islamists aren't even using the Koran as their source for these things. They are using their own ideology to brainwash others into thinking like they do and all who don't think their way should be killed. You can blame all Muslims all you want to, mrmaczaps, but the fact remains that a majority of Muslims are against what these terrorists are doing and want to fight back against them just as the rest of us do.
