Don't worry Ana, that doesn't really belong here

True. I don't think I was about to get any less confused anyway

Scotland Yard said: "At this stage, officers do not believe that anybody is in a life-threatening condition.

Thank god.

Maybe a domestic thing and he was trying to run over his wife/GF so limited injuries??? But they brought in the terrorist investigators quick so maybe they knew the guy???

How scary. No one can enjoy anywhere now. You never know when things like this will happen (if it truly wasn't an accident).

Terrorist investigtors and definitely lots of police were there quick as it is right next to Parliament and also same exact spot where just last year was the same car incident (terrorists and on purpose) which left Many dead! Due to this road barriers were put up. Also last year, those terrorists managed to run out of car after the fact and stabbed people, also police officer who died.

Whoever this was today was trying to be copycat and yes, the biggest idiot ever.

The U.K. news websites are already labelling this a terrorist attack. I think I’ll reserve judgement until more information comes out. The guy has been arrested so I expect they’ll soon establish if it was terrorism.

You were big on the Canada thing until you found out he was a white Canadian and then you went all quiet.

White canadians can also be Islamic terrorist.

Really?

How strange that this would happen when a certain UK politician is coming under constant & heavy media fire.

Classic diversionary tactics, IMO.

I’ve been reading about 2 under fire recently.

I'll leave it to you to decide which one I'm referring to, it shouldn't be too difficult. I don't want to be accused of getting all p*litical!

How many people were killed? How many people are killed in the US in incidents like this?

Lots

oh my white american males kill so many more people for sure!

 

[CARIIS]

White canadians can also be Islamic terrorist.

between 2001 and 2015, more Americans were killed by homegrown right-wing extremists than by Islamist terrorists, according to a study by New America, a nonpartisan think tank in Washington, DC.

we certainly know that many white males who kill hundreds have no Islamic connections at all

its all in the facts -- they count bodies

just a few of the attacks that have occurred in 2017:

• Sunday night, a 64-year-old white man from Nevada opened fire on a crowd of more than 22,000 people at a country music festival in Las Vegas, killing more than 50 and wounding more than 200.
• In August, a 20-year-old white Nazi sympathizer from Ohio sped his car into a crowd of anti-racist protesters in Charlottesville, Virginia, killing a woman and injuring at least 19 others.
• In June, a 66-year-old white man from Illinois shot at Republican Congress members during an early morning baseball practice, severely wounding several people including Rep. Steve Scalise of Louisiana, the House of Representatives Majority Whip.
• In March 2017, a 28-year-old white man from Baltimore traveled to New York City with the explicit aim of killing black men. He stabbed 66-year-old Timothy Caughman to death and was charged with terrorism by New York state authorities.
• In May, a 35-year-old white man from Oregon named Jeremy Joseph Christian began harassing Muslim teenagers on a train in Portland, telling them “We need Americans here!” Two men interceded; Christian then stabbed and killed them both.

White American men are a bigger domestic terrorist threat than Muslim foreigners

oh brother news on in background someone jumped over a fence ( assuming zoo)
and smacked a hippopotamus

A potential terror attack? Yes. That's big news.
