It's sad but not surprised.

Hopefully the nutcase that did it gets a lengthy jail term.

Nope....witnesses say he was looking down while he fired his handmade gun.  That's clear presence of mind. Fit for trial.

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

He will get life. Unless he's got some mental condition. And even then, he will get life also, only in some closed mental facility.

An eyewitness said it looked handmade, but another one said it looked like a really, really old pistol. Nobody knows for sure yet. He's probably just a far-right extremist and not mentally ill.

As with every case, we have to wait for the results of the investigation. Speculation is pretty useless. He can be anything from deranged to rightwing shit. Something ticked him off, unless he's really only a nutter shooting the first public figure he could aim at.

It looks like a vote leave extremist did it. People get worked up about the silliest things.

The unconfirmed report is that he yelled "Britain First," which is both a PRO-Brexit (edited for error) slogan and the name of a small very-right-wing political group.  I don't think it's irresponsible to reproduce this here, inasmuch as reputable news agencies are noting both that there are reports of this and that it remains unconfirmed. For what it's worth, the political group has released a statement noting that it's not certain he did yell that, and completely disclaiming the attack and the fellow.

Don't worry, my friend.  If this be the end, then so shall it be.
