    Be real though, you know and everyone else knows there's a pretty good chance who/what is to blame.
    Some might hope they are wrong and some might hope they are right but we are all kinda thinking the same thing. Just either hoping it's wrong or it's right.

    Perhaps this would have better posted in D&D, especially if you already had a political intention...

    They jump out in front and call it terrorism which by definition it is. It doesn't matter who did it. It is terrorism

    What we know so far
    • A policeman has been stabbed and his attacker shot by officers at the House of Parliament
    • Police are treating it as a "terrorist incident"
    • The attacker is reported to have mowed down several pedestrians as he drove a grey Hyundai car across Westminster * Bridge before crashing it into railings
    • He is then reported to have run through the gates of the Palace of Westminster and stabbed the officer
    • Eyewitnesses said he was shot by police as he approached a second officer clutching his knife
    • House of Commons and Lords in lockdown - as is nearby St Thomas's hospital
    • Public urged to avoid the area and Westminster Underground station is closed
    • Prime Minister Theresa May was seen being ushered into a silver Jaguar in the grounds of the Palace of Westminster as what sounded like gunfire rang out at around 14:45 GMT
    • A Downing Street source confirmed the prime minster was "OK".

    Arming a whole country's police force with guns for a one off situation like this is not an appropriate response. It would just cause more problems.

    It happened 4 months ago at OSU. Cars are the new weapon of choice after Nice attacks.
