    Hope my comment does not take away from the serious nature of this topic.

    But I can not hear about the London Bridge without thinking how people had homes and lived on the bridge. This was about 300-700 years ago. Many of the homes and shops built on the bridge where up to 7 stories tall. Here is an oil painting of an earlier version of the London Bridge showing the homes and shops built over the roadway.

    .....are THOSE the "hateful tweets" that Liberals keep shitting their panties over?

    This is just yet more Leftist bias from people who are more qualified at cleaning toilets than they are at discussing politics. It's so typical of the Left: ignore the terrorism and yell at Trump because he hurt your feelings on Twitter.

    "We are the safest global city in the world...." what a bunch of horseshit. They have an 8 minute response time in London, and upwards of 30 minutes for other jurisdictions throughout the UK, for ARMED officers to deal with something. I'd feel safer in New York City than I would in London, absolutely no question.

    I ask because I'd feel safer in Kabul than Chicago.

    Kidding of course

    It depends on what part of Chicago you go to.

    Modern, downtown Chicago....yes. South-side Chicago....no.

    Yup.

    http://www.independent.co.uk/news/u...e-jihadists-next-door-channel-4-a7774306.html

    In London they have also allowed protests where these extremists are demanding sharia law for the U.K. With signs talking about taking over the east and west but hey don't bother looking at that, let's instead talk about trump and his response to the london mayor...

    Open your eyes. They had a fucking documentary about these extremists in londons own backyard and one of them was one of the terrorists in the latest event. Not long before that Manchester, killing innocent kids. The embassy, etc. admit there is a problem. To sit there and deflect to trump every time is irresponsible and kind of crazy. I could give a fuck about trump but it's annoying every god damn issue in the world goes to him.

    "This guy on the max killed 2 people"

    "Welp, that's trumps America now"

    It's the most insane thing to do. People are crazy plain and simple. What that guy did on the max was despicable but it has nothing to do with some other idiot over here named trump. Every terrorist attack has nothing to do with trump. God forbid he is right on one thing which would be this extremism problem. It's a fucking problem, how some people don't see it, I don't know. Go tell the families of those lost its trumps problem, see how they react. Of all the events I named or maybe even the Paris attack where hundreds were ran over or all those people got shot up in the theater, the Christmas terrorist attack, the fucking list goes on. Do I agree with what trumps reply to the mayor is? No but the fact that mayor can't admit there is an issue that needs to be taken care of is irresponsible.

    I can't really disagree so I'll just be the first to call you racist xenophobe.

    Well said. Very well said.

    The Left needs to get their priorities straight. Blame Trump and worry about his Tweets.....or deal rationally with Radical Islamic Terrorism.

    Ah, a lecture from the Right, which prioritizes things like which bathrooms people should use and where Obama was born.

    What has Trump done so far to deal rationally with Radical Islamic Terrorism?

    I notice when he went to the middle east he didn't mention Radical Islamic Terrorism even once. Why is that, do you suppose? Not an important topic? SlyPokerCat got his tongue? Too politically correct?

    How about extensive background checks which involves family members, etc?

    once again referring to trump and then bringing up obamas birth certificate and bathrooms, who gives a fuck. We are talking terrorism. There is a clip in this documentary starting at the 11 minute mark where this guy openly talks about when he thinks sharia law will take over and how they will go about dealing with gays, says casually that throwing them off a building will be the answer, you know, in common sharia law act. That they could do it in the middle of the square and he thinks people would come watch.

    BUT once again...TRUMP!

    I don't know how many people here consider themselves right but I am not one, I look at shit objectively and make my own decisions on them. You want people to take advantage of the bathroom situation and creepy ass dudes dressing like girls to walk in and creep on your daughter? because they can just say they are trans? I mean come on you people are getting insane with this. Apparently we have ignored science now though and there is more than one gender, etc. Shits a movie, Trump is our president and you have people claiming there is such a thing as gender fluidity and that I need to refer to people as they wish by their pronoun. You can be a racist for anything, bigot, homophobic, etc. Basically if my opinion isn't yours, I am just some straight white male who is some white nationalist nazi. These ideas are mental and I truly think these people have mental disorders.

    I don't know, how about that? Is that a suggestion or what?

    You are responding, so, I guess... you?

    Trump says he can shoot someone in the middle of 5th avenue and his fans would applaud. That's pretty similar, actually.

    What's your objection to people talking about Trump? He is the president of these united states. Nobody is forcing you to talk about him.

    I think you are confused. I, or my people, or my kind, are not the ones proposing to change the laws on this topic. That's a Republican initiative.

    Uh, ok.

    My objection is simple. This thread is about the terrorist attack and the left on here are the first to bring up Trump which has nothing to do with the subject we are dealing with here and even more ridiculous is relating what happened to trump. It's illogical
