"Remove your governments they don't care about you.
"You think David Cameron is going to get caught in the street when we start busting our guns you think politicians are going to die? No it's going to be the average guy, like you, and your children.

Les témoins ont vu en sortir deux hommes noirs, trainant derrière eu leur victime qui portait un T-shirt barré du slogan «Help for Heroes» — «de l'aide pour les héros», le nom d'une campagne de charité pour venir en aide aux soldats blessés en campagne.
Ils ont tiré leur victime au milieu de la chaussée puis l'ont découpé à coup de couteau, de hachoir et l'ont décapité à la machette. D'après des témoins, les meurtriers criaient «Allah akbar» — «Dieu est grand» en Arabe — et incitaient les passants à les prendre en photo. Après avoir commis ces atrocités, ils sont resté sur place, semblant attendre l'arrivée de la police. Quand les agents sont arrivés 20 mn après le carnage, ils les ont chargés à la machette. C'est à ce moment que les policiers ont tiré et grièvement blessé les assaillants. » | LeParisien.fr | mercredi 22 mai 2013

A witness, identified only as James, said he saw two black men attack the young victim with knives, including a meat cleaver.
In a graphic description of events, he told London radio station LBC:
"They were hacking at this poor guy, literally. They were hacking at him, chopping him, cutting him."
One man has been confirmed dead at the scene and two others taken to hospital, one of them in a serious condition, a London Ambulance Service spokeswoman said.

"They were just animals. They dragged him from the pavement and dumped his body in the middle of the road and left his body there."
He said that after the attack, which he described as "horrendous", the two men stood around waving knives and a gun, and asked people nearby to take pictures of them "as if they wanted to be on TV or something". » | Wednesday, May 22, 2013
