My sincere condolences regarding the cowardly attack on the public on Westminster Bridge and near the House of Parliament and for the death of one of your police officers and one of your citizens. I'm sure the location chosen was no accident. Westminster is arguably the seat of democracy and a powerful symbol of the rights of the individual against the tyranny of any type of autocratic rule.
Once again, the scourge known as Islamist terrorism makes itself known.

Agree. I still can't comprehend why some British police officers remain unarmed while on duty. Off duty too, I imagine.
There are people that need shooting out there, after all.
Best,
Ted

Who you think's to blame the Islamic Terrorists or the idiot that let them take over England ?
I myself blame the idiots that let the Muslims into their country.

Canvasback, eeb,
Thank you.
My niece is a lawyer living and working in London; she crosses Westminster Bridge on foot at least twice a day, often more. She texted her mother and us to say missed the incident by about twenty minutes and is unharmed.

Thank you, very kind. Mine's a pint

There is a time for compassion ("to suffer together") and empathy ("to share someone else's hurt"). Hard to do so over the internet, but I'm grateful for the British response after 9/11, and am sorry for the human cost of this act of terror.
There is a (later) time for analysis and action.
This is not a good time to be an ass jOe.

I myself blame idiots that let them in their country. jOe, you idiot. Should I blame every American for the foolishness of those who allowed 20 million illegals to swamp your southern border? By voting to exit the EU, are not the Brits taking steps to rectify the problem and regain control over who crosses their borders? Similar to Americans voting electing Trump in an effort to regain control over your southern border? Try to think for a minute before you just blurt out your latest bit of simple minded stupidity.

Thank you Drew for posting a more compassionate response to jOe. He clearly needs it.
