Just because they deserve more recognition than the attacker, those who ran towards the scene, those who were brave and did what they could to help - London, The Heros www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-39363660Well said. |

Just because they deserve more recognition than the attacker, those who ran towards the scene, those who were brave and did what they could to help - London, The Heros www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-39363660Thanks for sharing this and the Underground quotes. Watching some of the live coverage yesterday it was heartwarming to see strangers waiting with the victims and people running to help. SaveSave |

I'm so sorry to hear there are even more casualties. This is just awful. I do love seeing the heroes that emerge out of such horrific events. Love and prayers to you all - we mourn with you, but we also know your strength.

Here are the steps:
1. This has nothing to do with Islam and he does not represent Islam
2 claim to be the religion of peace
3. It's blow back for the west being in the Mideast.
4. The guy was a mentally ill '.
5. It is ''lone wolf attack''.
6. It's just part of living in a big city
7 claim Christians do these things too
8. Those who object are racist bigots.
9. Change Facebook profile to flag of inflicted country.
10. Light some candles, hold a vigil and go on a peace march.
11. Claim Muslims are the real victims.
12. Wait for the next Islamic terrorist attack to happen.
13.ISLAMAPHOBIA!!
Go back to 1. Repeat as needed.

Police have named the other two victims of the terrorist attack in London yesterday.
A 43 year old married woman, the mother of two young daughters and a school administrator at a London school.
and I'm so very sorry to have to tell you that the other person was a married 54 year old American tourist in London with his wife, celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary. I don't have any further details to give you. I'm not going to mention his name on here as there is no telling who reads this forum. It is however printed in many press reports.
Thoughts and prayers go out to both families.

Thanks for that @zingermack. Dan Snow comes from a family of tv presenters/journalists who are well known here and basically tell it as it is.
Unfortunately there has been another death. A 75 year old man had his life support machine turned off last night.

I am praying for London and our British peas and all of us.
The classy way that London has handled this attack and the others is a lesson for us all.
So sorry Darth Hater and his Cheeto spawn and their rabid followers can't seem to find any common decency.

This is a guess......from the saying "you can try until you're blue in the face" meaning you'll never manage to do what you set out to do however hard you try. |
