These vigils now border on the absurd. The Brits should be raging against the machine, against the cowardly politicians who sold them out to savages.

A man armed with a knife and a baseball bat was detained where people had gathered paying tribute to the Manchester victims; they were interrupted by the man’s protests.

The man, who was black and had a beard, was taken away in a riot can around 7pm.

Sounds Muslim. Birmingham has a very large Muslim population.

BREAKING NEWS: Vigil for Manchester victims in Birmingham is interrupted after a man is caught nearby ‘with a large knife and a baseball bat’

  • A candle-lit vigil in Birmingham in memory of those killed in the Manchester Arena bomb attack was cut short
  • A man armed with knife and baseball bat was detained just a short distance from where people had gathered
  • Speakers which had been paying tribute to the Manchester victims were interrupted by the man’s protests,
  • Police who were at the vigil, including armed response officers, then cleared Victoria Square a short time

By Thomas Burrows for MailOnline, 23 May 2017:

A vigil in Birmingham for the Manchester Arena victims has been interrupted after a man apparently armed with a large knife and a baseball bat was detained nearby.

Birmingham held a candle-lit vigil to show solidarity with the victims of last night’s terror attack in Manchester.

The armed man shouted out as he was handcuffed by officers, just a short distance from where 1,000 people had gathered in the city’s main Victoria Square. The man, who was black and had a short-trimmed beard, was taken away in a riot can around 7pm.

Speakers which had been paying tribute to the Manchester victims were interrupted by the man’s protests, from down a side street.

Police, including armed response officers, then cleared the square a short time later.

The evacuation of the square was carried out as a precaution by police, West Midlands chief constable David Thompson confirmed.

The vigil in Birmingham this evening (pictured) was interrupted after a man apparently armed with a large knife and baseball bat was detained nearby

 

The bomber – named today as 22-year-old Salman Abedi – was known to authorities. He died at the scene and police carried out a controlled explosion at what is believed to be his home during raids around the city today.

Police also raided a house where Abedi’s brother, Ismail, lived and arrested a 23-year-old man. Police and security services are trying to work out if the suicide bomber was part of a cell.

As well as the Birmingham vigil, thousands gathered in the centre of Manchester in a show of defiance, declaring they will not be ‘beaten’ or ‘intimidated’ in the wake of the terror attack.

Crowds spilled from Albert Square on to nearby roads, standing together in an act of solidarity.

Many carried flags, posters and placards bearing the message ‘I Love Manchester’, pledging unity across the city.

For the incredible cultural diversity they bring to our lands. When you look at the push to bring these folks to our countries you find that those making the push all have well meant intentions but lack the common sense necessary to make an informed decision. Their need to “feel” good over rides their ability to recognize the dangers of their decision.

I agree I live in the UK and have been watching much of the ceaseless coverage of the Manchester atrocity.
They have interviewed many people but not once has anyone asked the difficult questions of “what would Muhammad do”? What about the verses of violence in the koran hadith and sira (of course quoting verse numbers)
But no it is all about how peaceful Islam is, how this act was a perversion of a great religion.
It is completely sickening to see interviewers defending Islam whilst ignoring the verses of violence.

Let’s assume, arguendo, that this is true. I travelled extensively in the moslem world in the 80s and 90s. They hadn’t “discovered” terrorism. I could walk almost anywhere. There were thieves and thugs, I carried a knife and a stick, but Westerners were pretty safe. They still oppressed and murdered their Christian and Jewish neighbors, but they considered us to be more or less helpful, and they didn’t bother us. I always carried a Bible in my luggage, even in Saudi Arabia. So in recent times, islam was not the whirlpool of violence it is today. The argument for a peaceful islam could be maintained.

But it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter what they used to be. Starting about the time of the 1972 Munich Olympics attack, islam has been becoming more and more violent. It is now what you see it as. The places I walked freely, in Saudi Arabia, in The Sudan, in Lebanon, I wouldn’t go except as part of an armored column. Maybe most of the moslem people are still more or less peaceful. Assume they are. They still go along with the violent ones, and get caught up in the frenzy. Mao Tse Tung, who knew a thing or two about community organizing, believed he could rule effectively with 2% of the population behind him. I think we’re seeing those numbers in Europe. Those hard liners empower and encourage the “peaceful ones” to be revel in their new-found power. Islam is feeling its oats, right now, and we have to deal with that.

It doesn’t matter if they used to be peaceful We have to deal with them today.

The size of the crowds shown, indicates that there are a lot of traditional, native Brits who agree that it is not a “moslem problem.” They lived through The Blitz and through The Troubles, both of which were worse. The problem is that the moslem population is growing. When the natives realize there is a problem, it may be too late.

And where was the legally licensed armed citizen who could have stopped this dead cold? Oh, wait, that’s right, the UK citizenry has no need of such barbarian notions now that WWII is over and the individuals’ rights to self-defense have been sold out from under them for the sake of civility. If you live in such a society where the government does not trust the citizens to be armed, perhaps you should take a closer look at who should be distrustful of whom.

Being armed would not have helped the victims leaving the Ariana Grande concert, unless of course you are going to shoot any person standing around, possibly waiting to pick up their young daughter.
Having said that there are many times when it would be an obvious advantage.

Completely agree, concealed or open carry is only a deterrent to those who value their own life (criminals) These attacks are on ideals and philosophies. No amount of fire power will stop them unless you identify them first and can get the upper hand. I’m assuming that the venues level of security was less than expected or non-existent.

Suicide bombers like to get in position to get the most bang for the buck.
Being armed gives you the chance to drop them where they can do the least damage.
I can engage a man from 100m
rather easily.
Backpack bombs are seldom dangerous after 50m, less if you fire from COVER.

Ever watch men packing a pistol?
Normally their head is on a swivel.
Seldom do they walk around in their own little bubble.
Pressure cooker bombs are heavy, if you walk around with in a backpack you will be noticed.
A suicide bomber will normally have a little stress & fear on his face with a cumbersome backpack or vest.
A person packing a pistol will usually have their antenna up
an notice such things and seek cover.
Maybe, maybe not.
Life often is such a crapshoot.

Sorry but you are wrong a little stress can be caused by many things, people wearing heavy clothing that is not normally considered usual for the weather conditions may be for perfectly legitimate reasons, like have just arrived from a area/country that is hotter than the one they are now in.
I agree that there are some circumstances where being armed would be a benefit but a suicide bomber is not one of them unless you can see the bomb. Just think if you shot someone from a warmer climate and it turned out he was just there to pick up his daughter.

With a massacres happening about every ten days you would think they’d be ready to throw both the jihadi’s and the dieversity preachers in the North Atlantic.
Are they waiting for enslavement?

The Germans(one of Merkel’s cabinet) have already hinted they wanted the US Army on their streets to control immigrant crime and Merkels bringing in a 1000+ more every week.

“The Queen also held a minute’s silence at Buckingham Palace to remember those killed and injured in last night’s terror attack.” Well now – that should help, but how about a moment to remember the evils of Islam? To be fair, the queen is very old now, and I do not expect more from her. But back during the War, the royal family were staunch and steadfast against the Natzi threat. It seems they used up all their energy on that, because we have never heard a peep out of them condemning the Islamization of Britain. When the Islamists take over, they will be the first to lose their heads.

Sadly it would seem that post ‘lone wolf’ attacks were many are killed, maimed and scared will now not be allowed to be mourned or supported as more ‘lone wolfs’ disrupt with more savagery in attempting to silence the cowed people of the westernized countries of Europe. Anglea Mekel must be so proud of her handy work. *smh

Without a fire in the belly response from those good people who live in westernized Europe, I fear they are now lost to the onslaught of the peaceful moderate poor refugee’s who’ve upset the natural peace loving order of the people who used to be the majority of those nation states. How long will we wait in the USA before we stem the tides and demand our government not only do something about those here past their visa’s, past their refugee status waivers and way past their ‘student’ visa’s, and send them home!! I don’t care if they jaywalk at this point! They break even one of our laws, they and their families must be returned to their origin nation!
