Yup let's just keep letting Islamist into western countries.
Their religion and our culture are not a good mix. And they do not want to assimilate, only conquer.

It would be an interesting experiment to create a conservative only state and run strictly by the constitution and principles that conservatives believe in and create a state with the liberial utopia and ideas like unchecked immigration and free healthcare, no guns, high taxes on the upper class and whatever else they advocate. Let it run for a few years and see what develops.
AND ...... a judge - according to today's cable news - told "authorities" the Mook was a danger to society and was irredeemably a terrorist forever. The "authorities" - titles, names and pictures PLEASE - let him out, anyway 'cuz they know best!

U.K. Knife Attacker Who Killed Two Was a Convicted Terrorist
LONDON—The knife-wielding assailant who killed two people—and was then taken down by heroic passersby on London Bridge—was a convicted terrorist who was paroled last year.
Usman Khan, 28, pleaded guilty in 2012 to a plot to bomb the London Stock Exchange, Westminster Abbey, and Big Ben. He was freed in December 2018, on condition he wear a tracking device.
On Friday, he was attending a Cambridge University criminal justice symposium at Fishmongers’ Hall when he reportedly threatened to blow it up and then embarked on a stabbing rampage.
The harrowing incident ended on the same bridge where three terrorists killed eight people in 2017 when Khan—who was wearing a hoax suicide vest—was tackled and disarmed by members of the public as police arrived.
A tour guide told The Telegraph that he was driving when he saw the commotion on the bridge and stopped the car to run over.
“There were about five guys there when we got there,” he said. “I jumped in and kicked him in the head to make him release his knife. A few others did so. He was shouting, ‘Get off me, get off me.’”
He said that when the attacker was rolled over, they saw what appeared to be a bomb vest.
“The police arrived so quickly. They told us ‘get the **** back.’ They had rifles. They put three rounds into him,” he said.
Cellphone footage of the incident showed armed police officers pulling people off the attacker, who was struggling to break free. One officer from the City of London police then shot the man at the northern end of the bridge. He died at the scene.
Neil Basu, head of counterterrorism at Scotland Yard, said the man was wearing a hoax suicide vest. “It has been declared a terrorist incident,” he said.
Basu indicated that the police had been warned that the man may have been wearing an improvised explosive device before they got to the bridge. Footage captured by various people in the vicinity, shows the firearms officer shooting the attacker as soon as he had a clear shot.
A member of the public who had carried the knife out of reach of the attacker could be seen motioning for other people walking across the bridge to stay clear of the melee, before the officer fired the fatal shot.

A tracking device? Why haven't we thought of that? Just attach these to all our "criminals", set them loose and we will always know just about where they are, at most anytime! Look at the cost savings in prisons maintenance, correctional officers payroll and pensions, utilities, food, laundry. re-hab training, ........etc.

Tracking devices? I'm more old school. Convicted of terrorist actions? The state must assist their immediate visit to the virgins.

Yes, they know best, this is the same people who took all weapons and knifes from the law abiding citizens so the "poor" Muslin extremist would have an easier time in killing the citizens. That is what they know best, protecting criminals

I just watched a quick video of the incident for the first time a few minutes ago. Not sure if there are others but in this one a guy was using a fire extinguisher and another guy ran back to a restaurant to grab a 5 foot long animal tusk to help subdue the guy. All i could think of was that a 9mm or .45 would have been so much quicker and easier. Not to mention if the guy had a real bomb he would have much more time to detonate it.
Stamps, i think you need some sort of award for that post!!!!
