Another London terror attack

Terror attacks are "part and parcel of living in a big city." said Sadiq Khan. And with a name like that, and being mayor of London, he should know.

A man in a car went on a ramming jihad on Tuesday outside Parliament, British authorities say. The driver, a man in his 20s was arrested for suspicion of terror offenses, but we don't want to jump the gun and be called 'Islamophobic' because that would be racist, in spite of the fact that Islam isn't a race.

The British counter-terrorism command is leading the investigation. Scotland Yard Assistant Commissioner Neil Basu said that two infidels were hospitalized and one was released. A woman was also being treated for serious, but non-life threatening injuries.

Basu said the man was driving a silver Ford Fiesta and collided with cyclists and pedestrians before crashing into the barriers during the morning commute. He is now in custody but was not cooperating with police and was not immediately identified.

Prime Minister Theresa May and Khan thanked emergency responders for being on the scene so quickly.

"My thoughts are with those injured in the incident in Westminster and my thanks to the emergency services for their immediate and courageous response," May tweeted without explaining how a thought can be someplace other than in someone's head.

Khan got into the act: "I'm in close contact with @MetPoliceUK Commissioner about the incident at Parliament Square this morning. Thank you to the first responders who were on the scene so quickly. Enquiries are continuing."

President Trump, never far from his Twitter account, nor to pull punches commented: "Another terrorist attack in London...These animals are crazy and must be dealt with through toughness and strength."

Ewalina Ochab witnessed the event and told the Associated Press that the collision appeared to be deliberate.

"I was walking on the other side [of the street], I heard some noise and someone screamed. I turned around and I saw a silver car driving very fast close to the railings, maybe even on the pavement," she said.

The area where this latest event took place was the site of an Islamic jihad attack in March 2017 when Khalid Masood rammed a car into crowds of infidels on Westminster Bridge, killing four innocent people. Masood ran out of the car then stabbed and killed a police officer [British police usually don't carry guns, which would have saved him] before being shot by a police officer who was assigned a weapon other than a stick.

In June of last year, a van with three Islamic jihadis drove into unbelievers on London Bridge. They got out of the van and began stabbing people nearby before being shot and killed by police with guns. At least eight people plus the three scumcrumpets were killed.

A few weeks later, another van drove into a group of people walking near Finsbury Park Mosque in London. One person was killed and 11 were injured.

Then two bobbies were injured in August last year when a "suspect" reached for a sword while being confronted. The man was charged with intent to commit an act of terrorism.

Then in September, a homemade bomb was partially detonated on a train in Parsons Green Station. At least 22 people were injured in the incident.

Mayor Khan believes that Londoners should just get over the fact that this kind of stuff happens in large cities.

But at least his heart goes out to the victims in all these "inexplicable" attacks.

What does that even mean?
