Soldier hacked to death in London

In broad daylight...

Reports are saying he was be-headed.

Details are still unclear but two men are in custody and encouraged passers-by to film them with their phones!

Stop the world, I want to get off.

Makes me sick to my stomach. I hate the news because its filled with stuff like this. Hard to believe that people who commit crimes like this are even human and have any brain or soul/conscience. . . My heart goes out to the families. Rip

There is a serious problem in the UK that is not getting the attention it deserves from the govt. Radicals/terrorists move to the UK and live off the govt for years - never getting a job and never contributing to society, while continuing to plan and carry out acts such as this.

Sadly I feel this is true for the whole world in general these days!
I'm so sad/sick of this world. People don't seem to react and behave normal anymore.
Sadly there are always victims too. And families that are confronted with these crimefacts.
So bad....so very bad

Absolutely appalling - it's difficult to put into words the disgust people feel when acts like this are made - it is bad enough that it happened - but in broad daylight around the corner from a school - and the perpetrators asking the public to video it using their phones.....what kind of world are we living in?
