Van hits 6 on London bridge.

[Washington Resistance Army]

It was apparently 3 suspects.

What good are they if they can't stop 3 guys with knives?

They're good at shouting at you for letting your dog shit on the pavement or for moving people along.

This is what happens when people get pissy about paying tax so you have to have a second tier police force to deal with the small stuff because you can't afford enough full police officers. Blame the conservative government that has been downsizing the police force for the past 7 years.

They don't sound very useful. Britain plz

Well it's hard for the police to get much public support with constant accusations of "militarization" and whatnot.

The thin blue line here is not under attack from the people. Have you seen my flag?

[Zanera]

So...arrest people for suspected Islamic radicalization?

This is already being done. For holiday in Islamic State or tracking tours in Pakistani Terror-camps for example. And for lesser things.

In either case, the legal framework already exists in the UK and other european Countries and has been used in many cases.

There may be certain individuals who have not gone out of the country at any reasonably suspicious age that could have been identified, for certain, as having possibly terroristic intentions like those that may have gone to terror camps and such and came back. It might be unlawful to go and arrest people because they seem really disgruntled, and without being, for certain of their having real terrorist intentions.

I wasn't aware you represented your entire country. But yes, I am from the US, so I guess I shouldn't have made an assumption about the UK like that.

[Liriena]

Six people murdered, twenty injured, and three suspects dead. The suspects were wearing fake explosive vests.

[The Lone Alliance]

I really don't have anything to say about this except once again repeat my utter hatred towards Jihadists.

How about rounding up suspected jihadists for a few days until the UK election is over so they can't influence it?

Imprisonment without charges or trial?

I think in the US you can do that for at least 24 hours.

It helps that we haven't been militarising our police. They're not even armed as a matter of course.

On terrorism charges you can hold people in the UK for 24 to 48 days.

We need to be smart, vigilant and tough. We need the courts to give us back our rights. We need the Travel Ban as an extra level of safety!

Leave it to Trump to use a terrorist attack in London by, as of yet, unidentified individuals, to try and argue in favor of his unconstitutional executive order.

Self-centered dickhead.

I think by 'us' he means his administration. Maybe he thinks the courts are taking away his rights to instate a half-assed travel ban?
It also seems he forgot that the attack wasn't just something to push a political agenda with.

Conservatives downsizing police. That doesn't seem right

they're fighting the police, doctors, nurses, teachers and pensioners

at the same time

So you're American but think the US Constitution is a stupid document?

When did I say that? What I am suggesting wouldn't even be against the Constitution since it allows for the suspension of habeas corpus. But admittedly, yes, there are quite a few things I would change about the US Constitution. I don't think this is that unusual. For instance, their is quite a large movement of Americans that are opposed to the 2nd ammendment.

Name a time when internment in the US resulted in a good outcome.

[Tekeristan]

Well, in the US at least, I'm all in favor of cracking down on agribusiness that make killings off their illegal labor force. If we deported their workers, American farm workers would take those jobs, probably unionize, and be able to make a decent living. There's nothing wrong with that.

This is why Jeb Bush-type conservatives are the absolute worst on immigration. They actually support near-slave labor.

Except Americans wouldn't flood in to take those jobs, and the farmers wouldn't want to take them on. Long story short, migrants are better at things like farmwork than the average westerner. They've probably done it back home, and - on average (#NotAll) have a much stronger work ethic than a native. They have come to a different country to work, sometimes for illegally low wages.

Note how the Trump estate is continually filing migrant labour requests for their fucking wineries, when those could be "American jobs".
Even the Trumps know that Americans won't do the work, and they don't want them to because they'd have to pay a decent wage.

Capitalist exploitation.
This is before considering the inevitable issue of what happens when these crops can no longer be effectively or expediently picked.

You're god damn right.

I literally don't take anyone's opinion about migrants seriously unless they worked with them. They're amazing people.

And as a general concept, I believe the Constitution was a great document that established a more centralized and powerful federal government that the United States desperately needed
