Jo Cox MP dead after shooting attack

An MP has died after she was shot and stabbed in a "horrific" assault in her constituency, police have said.

Jo Cox, Labour MP for Batley and Spen, was left bleeding on the ground after the attack in Birstall, West Yorkshire. A man was arrested nearby.

One eyewitness told the BBC they heard her attacker shout "put Britain first" at least twice beforehand.

Tributes flooded in from politicians including David Cameron, Jeremy Corbyn and US Secretary of State John Kerry.

Mrs Cox's husband Brendan said she would want people "to unite to fight against the hatred that killed her."

Vote Leave and Remain have both suspended campaigning in the EU referendum in light of the attack.

Mrs Cox, 41, is the first sitting MP to be killed since 1990, when Ian Gow was the last in a string of politicians to die at the hands of Northern Irish terror groups.

I was watching some coverage of this today. As a parent, this is devastating. I can't imagine trying to wrestle one of my kids free from an alligator only to lose and have my kid drug under to be mauled. And the kid drowned, so he had some time to die in pain and panic.

... and then all the following week, I'm demonized on the Internet as a bad parent who deserved to have my kid die painfully b/c I let him put his feet in water near "no swimming" signs.

:cry:
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

It was an extremely disturbing thing to have happened. If that toddler had been armed with an AR-15 this would have never happened.

We have to be careful. Toddlers with guns killed more Americans than terrorists did in 2013.

Pop quiz for people outside Argentina. VinylGuy need not answer.
Which one of the following things happened in Argentina this week? No Googling please.

a) In protest to an unpopular government policy, a national television channel ran the same anti-government program for over 48 hours. It included a catchy song adapted from a futbol stadium chant.
b) After a hotly contested futbol match, a fight broke out where a mother of three was caught on film successfully beating up two men at the same time. She instantly became a meme sensation and is now a national star and doing the talk-show rounds.
c) Police managed to stumble across a former public official attempting to bury bags filled with 9 million US dollars in dirty cash and jewelry outside a convent in the middle of the night. He was packing heat as well.
d) All of the above

No, I'm afraid I have been mobile-posting forever. I am just generally terrible.
