Cheating on and leaving your 7-month pregnant wife is not far behind though.

In this case, pretty far behind.

That's right.

Eyewitnesses say the van crashed on London Bridge and then three men got out and started randomly stabbing people

and the donald using this as an excuse to tout his travel ban

The world seems smaller tonight; I have been to those spots in London where the incidents happened.
It's a movie we have seen before and sadly think we will see this type of thing again.

I work a minute away from Borough Market. Glad this wasn't a week day. Rough.

Alright now, everyone get ready to carry on just as before, thoughts and prayers, etc.

I don't know what the world is going to look like ten, fifteen years from now.

There's surely going to be a tipping point when people aren't willing to tolerate this pervasive unease and lack of basic safety anymore and demand action be taken. I can't see that many options for truly addressing it that wouldn't be, in most other circumstances, unpalatable and unpleasant.

its only going to escalate in the years to come. It seems there is no solution other than radical acceptance that this is a part of life now. I dont know. We've already bombed the Middle East enough to create long lasting impact.

acceptance is the worst thing one could do.

well I mean besides running down people in a van or blowing up 12 year old girls.

but it's like the third worst thing.

It's not like there aren't solutions, Strat - they're just not pretty.

Just wait until they confirm, as is almost always the case, that the perpetrators of this incident were "known to authorities".

I don't get it. I have a peculiar perspective growing up in Ireland but the IRA only happenned as a response to innocent people consistently being hurt by an armed military force kicking their doors on every night and hurting their mothers and little brothers and sisters.
This is the same thing.

Piss poor US and U.K. Foreign policy coming back to bite them.

I agree with you but my point is nothing we do will stop this from happening. Its a new way of life. Im not saying dont do anything but....

Its whack a mole.

What a comfort this must be to the families of those young girls killed in Manchester last week and those killed in London just now.
