    • he didn't drive into parliament.fadein11
    • according to bbc, the suspect is no longer an "a middle-age Asian man with a knife" now he's just a "middle-aged man with a knife"robotron3k
    • Either way, some folks day has been ruined - and it could so easily have been any of us. so it sucks.fruitsalad
    • I wonder if "it" identified as a "white" "man" of "middle" "age" before "they" shot "it"robthelad
    • he's been de-asianedset
    • Does Germany play England tonight?robotron3k

    • (in that the water at top of photo implies this is just to the south west of Westminster Bridge, at the corner of The HP)detritus
    • thats not around parliament (graffiti and photo angle). This is the bridge. So this looks like a victim, poor fucker.mugwart
    • Maybe that guy with the banana leg is a tourist who jumped to avoid being run over?HAYZ1LLLA
    • yep that is a victim of the vehicle hence the broken leg.fadein11
    • usual car crash of news 'reporting' as reporters fall over themselves to file some story before they know all (or any) of the facts.

      fuck off.

    • Just waiting for Trumps statement of "FAKE NEWS!"fruitsalad
    • I imagine he's sat there fingers crossed hoping it's an immigrantset
    • That's easy to imagine.monospaced
    • someone posted the coordinates of the Big Ben in morse code yesterday at 4chan with a gun picture https://twitter.com/…ernexbcn
    • Does that sort of thing happen regularly at 4Chan though? I mean — could it've been a lucky guess by someone cognizant of the anniversary of the Belgian attack?detritus
    • Amazing...but when the west drop bombs on villages to kill Al-Qaeda...but kills dozens of families instead...no front page video or graphics.utopian
    • utop - precisely - but all innocent death is tragic isn't it.fadein11
    • Well, no. Not 'precisely' at all. This is an aggression against an international democratic institution. Of course it's more newsworthy to Westerners.detritus
    • I read his message a little more deeply than that... of course it will make headlinesfadein11
    • More deeperly how exactly?detritus
    • have you ever tought of having a picture of yourself badly injured or even dead everywhere on the web?Bennn
    • @det - it's pretty obvious what he was saying - more value is given to western lives who are victims of the blowback from god awful western foreign policy, thanfadein11
    • the original victims. What don't you understand? This is basic stuff. In regard to the headlines in papers yes of course they will report western victims. Sorryfadein11
    • struggling to see why you don't get the point being made.fadein11
    • And as I said in my original comment - all loss of innocent life is tragic so perhaps not the time to be making that point.fadein11
    • but it's a superfluous point?
      obviously i see the ephemeral, facile consideration being made, but you think that has any bearing?

    • You think abu fuckcuntington there had any personal basis to attribute his actions to bunches of nomads being incidentally obliterated?detritus
    • ie. do you justify whatever point this shallow cunt of a human being might begin to profess to have? idiotic, poisoned and misguided as it is?detritus
    • oh man you've lost me now... he was making a point about the shit media. We all feel the tragedy. Stop looking for a pointless argument pal.fadein11
    • Aye, sorry, that was a bit drunk and off-track. But seriously though — this is obv. going to be of orders of magnitude difference in interest..detritus
    • *hicdetritus
    • Precisely was the wrong use of word on my part... But UK news has reached new levels of shit lately, there was an air of entertainment about it all onlyfadein11
    • usually seen on the likes of CNN and Fox... Was hard to watch. They report like they are hoping its worse than it isfadein11
    • Dude, I was brought up on Sky News, living abroad. 25½ hours news has been the gestalt news experience for decades now.detritus
