Some things don't add up - like why would the terrorists wear fake cannisters on their visible suicide vests (they don't normally), and why would the police shoot at them, which should have been too risky? Unless they knew they were fake in the first place? Doesn't make sense.
Also the Barking connection was discovered pretty quickly too, even though Barking isn't that close to the city centre. Almost too quickly imo...

maybe they were trying for a head shot thus the reason for a lot of rounds.Post edited by mcgruff10 onI'll ride the wave where it takes me......0 -

Restless Soul said:Another thing that doesn't add up is the way a lot of the recent UK attacks have all coincided with the Tories having bad press days...
- Westminster bridge attack - happended same day that Scotland was due to vote for second independence referendum
- Westminster knife man arrest - happened same day after Boris called Corbyn a "mugwump" and made the Tories a laughing stock
- Manchester bombing - happened same day (night) after Theresa May got a mauling in the press for her dementia tax and uturn
- London Bridge/Borough market attack - happened same day several polls revealed that labour were closing the gap or even beating the tories in the run-up to the election.

put it this way, those cops could have easily lost their lives if that bomb went off. they made the right call and thankfully no one got hurt. I just hope things settle down for everyone in the u.k.I'll ride the wave where it takes me......0 -

The reason I think that they were wearing those fake vests is two fold.
A it scares the f out of the public so they stay away and
B it means that the police will shot them.. Don't forget they want to die.. They don't want to spend the rest of there life in prison.. One of the nutters that killed Lee rigby is saying his sentence is wrong cos he's fighting a war... You work it out. Nutters0 -
Its election time, UK current government is covering up arms deals with SA, BBC not reporting what the Labour party had to say on it. Only chance is for us to get the Tories out and make some serious changes! Thursday we vote.
