Shots fired outside the houses of Parliament.

Fatalities now reported. 4 dead, 20 injured, per Facebook. Wow.

One of the dead is the attacker.

[c172]

Ahhh, OK. I had heard the attacker was in custody, but not dead. That explains social media having one death tally and CNN having another (I think 3).

Well at least it saves the cost of a trial. I can only hope he suffered first  

[c172]

Yeah, I'm always a bit mixed when things are resolved this way. At least the attacker is gone, but some punishment, to me, would have been satisfying.

Eaten alive by pigs...

[Mr Greene]

Not as bad as Paris, took on a pretty well guarded target with a frontal assault.
Not the best planned attack by the looks of it.
Is that the best Daesh have got?
What's the matter, too difficult for 'em?

[HairyCyclist]

FUCK OFF Justin Welby save your pointless prayers, people have died today again due to RELIGION. Sick of religious freaks carrying out these attacks, and religious freaks thinking prayer will change anything.

Yeah, not really. I mean I hear people on here all the time say shit that doesn't include the third world as part of the world. Normally as part of the phrase "It works in every other part of the world...." and every other part of the world only includes Australia, Western Europe, Japan, Canada and the United States. There is more to the world then what happens in those countries.

This is too true in many cases.

I can't express how relieved I am that NZ isn't on that map.
