Ontarian1981 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 A motorist drove into a cycle path full of people, killing8 and injuring 12 this afternoon, close to the World Trade Centre memorial. The assaillant ran from the car brandishing a toy gun and screaming, he was shot by police. Yet another assault on our way of life in the Western Hemisphere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest makapaka Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I was just there last month with my daughter - loads of security at the time which seemed over the top at the time but they obviously knew it was a target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble is, there is little defence against this type of suicidal attack. The attacker did not even have a proper gun, in America of all places. ---------- Post added 31-10-2017 at 23:50 ---------- Later news confirmed the suspect was not killed but shot in the buttocks and is in custody.

Dimple Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Very sad. At this time this seems to have been yet another cowardly attack by someone representing the religion of peace. RIP to the dead and a speedy recovery to the injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukdobby Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Innocent people killed for nothing. Listening to the news,how many former counter terrorism chiefs have we got,there's one on every channel giving their views. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a surprise, suicide by cop is usually pretty effective in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ontarian1981 Posted November 1, 2017 Author Share Posted November 1, 2017 Now the culprit has been bragging to police, from his hospital bed that he would have killed many more had he not crashed his truck.All kinds of ISIS lierature etc found in the truck along with some knives. Just another sick puppy, blindly following that evil organisation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dimple Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 What's your point? When did Trump ban flights from places? Pretty sure Trumps 'Ban list' is actually Obama's idea and Obama's list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
