The Crime That Dare Not Speak Its Name

It's terrorism.


I see that the British have everything under control:

Two members of the public have reportedly been killed in an attack near London Bridge, in which police also shot dead a suspected terrorist wearing a fake suicide vest.

This terrorist:

U.K. police have identified the dead suspect in Friday’s knife attack near London Bridge as Usman Khan, 28, from Staffordshire.

British police named the man who stabbed two people to death in London on Friday in what the authorities called a terrorist attack as 28-year-old Usman Khan, who had been convicted of terrorism offences and was released from prison last year.

“This individual was known to authorities, having been convicted in 2012 for terrorism offences,” Britain’s top counter-terrorism police officer, Neil Basu, said in a statement.

Khan was held at bay not by the bobbies but by these guys:

One of the men who helped stop the Islamic terrorist who went on a stabbing spree yesterday on the London Bridge is a convicted murderer who was out of prison for the day on a release.

(Sidebar: that is boss.)


Then Khan was shot dead much to the horror and disappointment of his book-ended leftist and Islamist sympathisers. Now the authorities must craft some wily excuses to fool the public that this wasn't an Islamist terror attack and that the parole system works just fine.




Also in Europe:

Three youths were wounded in a stabbing on a shopping street in The Hague early Friday evening, Dutch police said, adding that they were seeking a suspect.

National broadcaster NOS said the attack could not immediately be attributed to terrorism.

Police launched a manhunt after the attack, which took place on a busy shopping street near the city's historic centre. The area was cordoned off and dozens of police and ambulances were on the scene.

All the victims were minors and were treated in hospital before being discharged, police said in a statement.

I'm sure it's nothing.




Oh, did they now?:

Canada’s national intelligence agency took an interest in the Danforth shooting for at least six months after the tragic event unfolded, new “top secret” documents obtained by the Toronto Sun confirm for the first time.

The heavily redacted documents show that CSIS produced their first SITREP – a situation report – at 7 a.m. the morning after the July 22, 2018 shooting that left three dead, including the gunman Faisal Hussain, and 13 others injured

Two subsequent SITREPs were then called for two hours later and a third at 3 p.m. that afternoon, along with what’s described in documents as a “table tour” meeting that took place that day.

The following day, an internal e-mail shows CSIS decided to “cease producing daily sitreps, and will revert to normal reporting protocols as new information is learned/obtained regarding this event.”

But then they stopped caring as though it was the Air India fiasco all over again.
