So the big bad jihaddi stabbed one person before armed police got there and started lighting everyone up?
I'll be interested to hear how they responded so quickly and how he was so ineffectual. As usual the coverage is all reaction, outrage and almost no details of the actual incident.
I'm sad that innocent people have been killed but this whole thing has that same niff that a lot of other incidents have had.The corporate media are complicit in the Gaza genocide. Never forget what they did. Never forgive them for it.
Lammy heckled and booed by crowd at Manchester synagogue vigil
Justice secretary David Lammy was heckled and booed by some of the crowd as he addressed a vigil close to the scene of the Manchester synagogue attack.
As he took to the stage he faced calls of “shame on you”, “go to Palestine, leave us alone”, “you’ve allowed it to grow on the campuses” and “you have blood on your hands”.
I wonder who that could have been....?
Apparently the story is he stabbed one person who was on the way into the synagogue, others saw him and barricaded the door, preventing him from entering while he "prowled" outside shouting things. Then the bill turned up shot him and shot a guy holding the doors by accident (because firearms officers are never trained to avoid shots when background damage is a possibility...eye roll).
Also the usual suspects are making politcal bank out of it; genocidal entity foreign minister Gideon Sa’ar:
I said that this is a decisive moment in the UK’s own history, for preserving its character, and it requires relentlessly combating the poisonous anti-Semitic movement.
I raised the need to fight the pro-Palestinian marches and protests, which bear anti-Semitic traits, and at times include explicit support for terror.
I said that this rabid incitement rightly disturbs the Jewish community in Britain deeply and it must be fought aggressively and determinedly. I emphasised that anti-Zionism is a form of antisemitism, also according to the IHRA definition.
Get to fuck, murderer.The corporate media are complicit in the Gaza genocide. Never forget what they did. Never forgive them for it.
Now it's two of the Manchester synagogue attack victims appeared to been shot by the pigs....
2 Manchester synagogue attack victims, including 1 who died, hit by police gunfire, police say
LONDON -- Two of the Manchester synagogue attack victims appeared to been shot by police officers who were trying to stop the assailant, the Greater Manchester Police said Friday.
One of the victims with apparent gunshot wounds died during the attack and the other remains hospitalized, police said.
"The Home Office Pathologist has advised that he has provisionally determined, that one of the deceased victims would appear to have suffered a wound consistent with a gunshot injury," Police Chief Constable Stephen Watson said in a statement.
Police said they determined the victims who were shot were likely hit by police because the suspect -- who was fatally shot by police -- was not in possession of any firearms, according to their initial investigation...
All day I've been listening to and reading reports about this "horrific terrorist atrocity"...that expression has been doing the rounds all day. So, the "terrorist" didn't actually kill anyone in this "horrific terrorist atrocity"? What's next...how will the poor cops cope with the PTSD after shooting unarmed, innocent civilians? I can see them getting some mileage out of that one.
Still, it gave the new Archbishop something to crow about. "I won't dignify the attacker's words by repeating them, they are horrific and vile."
