How to stop a terrorist
Dec 1, 2019 12:49:20 #
Sadly two people were killed in a terrorist knife attack in London. the knife wielding terrorist was tackled by a civilian who had grabbed a narwhale tusk which was on show in a nearby fishmongers and another civilian sprayed the terrorist with a fire extinguisher. The terrorist was overpowered by the public and shot dead by the police when they arrived.
The Americans say the only way to beat a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. The British way to beat a bad guy with a knife is a good guy with a narwhale tusk and a fire extinguisher.

I wonder if they need a permit to carry over there ?

They need a permit for a television over there.

We pay around £3 a week to have the TV but that pays for the BBC which is excellent with no commercial breaks in programs. I don't begrudge paying it because for less than a pack of cigarettes a week its great value for money and in two years time when I reach 75 I will get it free.

It was just fortunate that a Narwhale tusk and a fire extinguisher were nearby. Good for the Brits, they sent that man to hell where he will spend the rest of eternity pining for his 72 virgins.

Tell me what capabilities the stellar young Cambridge students had, and what laws prevented them from protecting themselves? I highly suspect that a long pointy object carried about like a narwhal tusk is a criminal offense, i know knives are. In fact, isn't is illegal in GB to protect ones self out of proportion to the attack? And one would face jail and a criminal record if your response is deemed out of proportion to the attacker- even if the attacker is in your house and twice the homeowners size.
By the grace of her Majesty and the law, apparently the stuck victims are at least innocent, unless their bleeding created a hazard of some sort... so generous, but I could be wrong.
Incidentally, I have nothing but praise for your public's response... they were very brave and very inventive- I have great issues with laws that could be held against them if your government decided they might apply them.

A jihadist martyr arrives in paradise, expecting his 72 virgins.
But first George Washington showed up and punched him in the face. Then Bobby Lee came out and kicked his ass. Thomas Jefferson arrived and delivered several roundhouse kicks to the scrotum. Then the entire House of Burgesses walked out, beat, stomped, and clubbed the terrorist to a pulp.
What was left of the poor sot lay there, every bone broken, bleeding all over from his whereever, and he managed to mumble, "Allah, I was a good servant, I did all you commanded...where are my 72 virgins?"
A deep voice rolled forth and replied, "Virgins? I promised no virgins...I promised all martyrs would be delivered to 72 Virginians!"

In this country you need a permit for a narwhal tusk....Say now, that's an endangered species is it not? Sorry, "near threatened". No doubt, here, someone would be vilified for using the tusk as a tool.....unless you could claim you were an Inuit.
Looks like the British way to stop a bad guy and the American way to stop a bad guy is pretty much the same. Shoot the muthuf_ckers!
