I'm not saying it was planned, but when I first saw him bragging to the camera it made me wonder if the TPTB are just trying to get some kind of turmoil started (race riots etc, as an excuse to enact martial law).

I'd just like to butt in and point out -
There were many victims in the Boston bombing - not just three.
There are also many victims associated with the London hacking - not just one. The friends, the family, and every witness on the street - were victimized too.

Clearly you havent seen the videos.
It was a terror attack meant to put terror into people. It has done just that.
He is not another Ted Bundy. He has an ideology behind his actions.
Last time I reply to someone who isn't even reading whats accuring. And has happened.

Wow, "arm all police officers"...that just sounds so radical...I'm sorry but in the States all police officers are armed as a matter of standard operation, because to disarm those who put their lives on the line daily for the common good is just nuts, and somehow the UK thinks if they just disarm the populace, well then they can go ahead and disarm the police force too. That is just one of the most nuts thing I've heard, seeing as gangs still have guns there and there's still a lot of kitchen knives around as well.

A "terror attack" in all its gruesome glory, recorded by the MSM and played all over the world, just like Boston. What was the chance of someone with a camera being in the street ready to interview him ??
These were Two men echoing on their own. No group. No plot. Lone wolves is all these guys were.
The UK isnt anything remotely comparable to the USA. People, even "gangstas" dont generally walk around with guns, they get them when needed

And you know this for certain because....? Is this what the local news media is saying? Yesterday someone was bemoaning that US media hadn't even covered the event....and interestingly it was as if Fox News heard that guy....next thing you know, bam...Fox News has a story on it. Who knew?

Everyone walks around with a smart camera phone, what are the chances?

oh thanks for clearing that up for me. And um okay if not mentally stable what are they doing working for the police force? Has the PC/equal opportunity crowd gone so far as to force the police dept to hire people with known mental conditions? Or is this more like one of those educated guesses?edit on 23-5-2013 by ThirdEyeofHorus because: (no reason given)

It has been reported already that another 2 suspects, 1 male, 1 female have also been arrested, so no, its not a "lone wolf" scenario.

The whole procedure of discharging a firearm as a UK police officer is very convoluted. The IPCC(Independent Police Complaints Commission) has to be automatically informed every single time a bullet has been fired. At which point they will suspend the police officer to investigate to see if the discharge was legally justified.
The fact is there are a lot of people that would find shooting and killing someone very hard to deal with, and some of those people happen to be police officers.

And sometimes real life is stranger than fiction.
There is a chance this is exactly what it played out to be.
