OH, TO BE IN ENGLAND: A ‘machete-wielding’ man slashed a Tube passenger’s throat at a London station as he screamed “This is what happens when you f*** with mother Syria, all of your blood will be spilled:”
Commander Richard Walton, who leads the Met’s Counter Terrorism Command, said:
“We are treating this as a terrorist incident. I would urge the public to remain calm, but alert and vigilant. The threat from terrorism remains at severe, which means that a terrorist attack is highly likely.”
At this point, I would be tempted to snark that having already disarmed and cowed its citizens to the point where they’re quoted in the media as saying, “I was frightened to defend myself; I thought if I did anything I would be arrested,” at this point, England really needs strict knife control.
But they’ve already got that: “Save a Life, Surrender Your Knife.”
Evidently, the excitable chap on the tube never received that memo.
