UK MP murder
And I thought all the crazy people lived in the USA.
Jo Cox MP shot and stabbed to death in Birstall, W Yorkshire. 300 yards from the house that I lived in for 25 years before I moved to Texas. If there ever was a place where nothing happened, it's Birstall. But now its going to be famous for a while I suppose. Another senseless loss of human life, What the hell is the world coming to? |

Time to ban guns... oh wait.
In all seriousness, crazy people can be found anywhere. |
Re: UK MP murder
Crazy people; people with agendas; people consumed with hatred and bigotry.
I can accept and understand killing someone in self-defense or in defense of another. But to just kill because you can? Never would defend this action. I'm sorry that this MP died so tragically. It is a waste of life. |
Re: UK MP murder
From the press reports, the killer was a nice quiet guy that used to help out people with the odd gardening job. Be interested to know what tipped him over the edge. I think there is a lot of tension over immigration and the Brexit at the moment. Some people get quite worked up and she was outwardly supporting the IN vote.

Re: UK MP murder
I found this so upsetting. We're hurtling towards some kind of right-wing apocalypse and seem to be unable to put the brakes on.

Re: UK MP murder
According to this article, the suspect bought manuals from a U.S. based far right wing group with practical instruction about how to make a gun from parts that you can buy in a DIY or hardware store. In a way, this shows how effective gun control is in the UK, because presumably crude homemade guns require know how and equipment, and are never going to be "automatic". However, I believe the news reports say he fired several shots..

Britain First is apparently making threats towards the mayor of London too now.
