You never really expect these things to happen, but then one day you wake up to find that 'these things' have happened.

Ok, so everyone knew that this day was going to come, it was inevitable, but there is simply no way to prepare yourself for it, either personally, or as a nation.

Within the space of 24 hours London and Great Britain went from a feeling a total euphoria which emanated from the success of the London 2012 Olympic bid, to a feeling of unbelievable emptiness. How can this happen? The eyes of the world were on the UK due to the G8 summit and these extremist animals (I refuse to acknowledge them as human beings) took advantage of this. I don't get it, I really don't.

The world is a scary place, but why should we live in fear? You know, you lose faith in the human race sometimes, but something like this makes you realise that we must stand as one. We are now and we will forever be united as one for the good of mankind. There is good left in this world, it's just a pity that a tragedy has to occur to make you realise this.

Ya know, before right now I hadn't been on here for a few weeks but something made me come on tonight. Must have known that my friends would be letting me know they're thinking of me! You're the best!

Initial reports suggest that the latest events in central London were that of the ''copy cat'' nature and were not orchestrated by the same terrorist cell/network as two weeks ago. Why would someone care to copy something like that, though? Who knows?!

Ah well! What am I gonna wake up to tomorrow? Just another day!

I heard about that earlier today and was quite shocked. Apparently the individual ran onto a train and was chased by armed police who then put 5 bullets in him killing him instantly. Surely one shot would have sufficed having neutralised the suspect, however, reports eminating from over here suggest that armed police have been ordered to 'shoot to kill' anyone who appears a serious threat. Perhaps that is what happened in this instance.

Extreme? Perhaps.

If the above statement is true, then I agree it is sad, but let's put things into perspective - 53+ innocent people died 2 weeks ago for no reason at all. We, as a nation can't afford to lose another 50+ lives.

At the risk of sounding extremely right wing, potential terrorists are killed each and every day but we don't hear about it because things are kept under wraps by our governments. This, unfortunatly is life in the 21st century. People live and people die. Lives of man have no value to certain members of society.

What sucks the most is that at the end of the day this all comes down to politics and religion. And they are the two things that I hate the most. Religion is the biggest killer in the world, and politics is a killer of friendships.

I reckon we leave this topic alone; otherwise people could get hurt by comments made.

Let's just mourn the loss of life, and praise the efforts of the authorities who live their lives every day making sure we are as safe as humanly possible in a world ruled by evil and politics.
