I think he fled on foot.

Also can we give the title of Atlas's Next Top Racist to Beet?

Call it for what it is. Some posters here would have no problem calling out White Terrorism, so call out Islamic terrorism. Stop beating around the bush.

"both sides do it"
Frankly, one "side" is doing it more. That can't be disputed.

Except this is not Islamic terrorism. We don't know even know who is responsible yet. Given past events, it may be ISIS related, which would be part of an extremist faction completely unrepresentative of Islam.

No True Scotsman.
No, Castro is correct. That doesn't scuttle the fact that these incidents keep happening, and that they are coming from a certain segment of the population. But the religion itself isn't to blame, nor are the overwhelming majority of its followers. That is no canard.

The timeline seems to suggest two separate attacks. One on the bridge, followed by stabbings nearby, and the second incident in Vauxhall.

I'm more convinced each week that a travel ban is necessary. Glad it's being expedited to the SCOTUS for clarity.

Even when the vast majority is caused by people ALREADY born in the country?
Which is why more can't come here until the situation resolves itself. Which it will.

I heard on MSNBC that three attackers entered a bar and began stabbing patrons? That sounds horrifying.

Why? The UK wasn't even included in it.
Yes, these attackers very well may be born in the UK. Which makes the situation all the worse, because as Omar Mateen shows, the children of refugees don't always (far too many times as is) assimilate and instead attack the culture in which they were raised.
