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.

What I want to say is certainly not PC. So, like Bruno, I'll simply say 'no comment.'

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.

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?
