A knife-wielding attacker was shot by armed police in the grounds of Parliament today after pedestrians were mowed down on Westminster Bridge.

An intruder with a knife managed to break into the grounds of the Houses of Parliament and stabbed a police officer before he was shot, reports suggest.

More than 10 people are said to have been hit by a car on Westminster Bridge after a vehicle described as a '4x4' reportedly drove into pedestrians and cyclists.

Three injured people were also visible on the floor outside Parliament and the Palace was placed on an immediate lock down.

Prime Minister Theresa May is said to have been bundled into a car by a plain-clothes police officer and driven quickly from the scene.

My son, the director of documentary films, lives there and works in that area when he edits film.  I have sent him an email to see where he is and if he is okay.  I did that about 20 minutes ago, and have no answer yet.

Well obviously.... the UK needs to pass more knife control legislation and import more Muslims.  Controlled chaos is a full-time job, after all.

Got answer from son, Wayne.  He says he is not in that area today.  Said he is the middle of some work and has a one hour deadline and he would write later.  If what he says later is about this attack, will post it.

If England would stop abusing Muslims, give them more land and money, and quit illegally occupying Muslim territory, I'm sure these 'protests' would stop.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

One year when I visited my son there, parliament was considering outlawing knives if they were outside a house.  This is the truth, not kidding.

Asian over there often means Pakistani or someone from that area, the Subcontinent if I have that correct, versus if we say Asians here to me at least, we might generally think of China or the Far East.

Yep, Southwest Asia encompasses all of the Arab/mudslime countries in and around the Persian Gulf area...

That woman appears to be pretty badly injured, lots of blood...prayers for her and all the others affected by this.

Sad,  one person dead.

Hey, our murder rate here is a lot higher for some of the same tired remarks.

I concur. As someone who has lived in Europe and the M.E., it is true that when Europe writes "Asians" or "youths", they are referring to Muslims.

Same one you are on.

But I'm not going to turn this tragedy into some discussion on laws, I do believe such trite statements on knife control should have been responded too.

This discussion will be had elsewhere, I'm not going to add on to it. Yeah, the US's murder rate is a lot higher. That's what I said.

I know.  I was attempting sarcasm.... but in this weird world we live in.... the truth is usually stranger than fiction and/or satire.  And it will continue to be.... as long as people allow Liberalism (a mental disorder and disease) to run and ruin things in the world.

The term "Asian" is as meaningful as the term "European".  Japanese, Taiwanese, Singaporeans, South Korean, etc. are all Asians.

This Doesn't help in identifying what nationality or country of origin the perp is from.

True enough. If the attacker had been Tunisian or Moroccan they would have said African. Pretty much how they've always done it.
