That stopped me. I heard she was stabbed, but thought she was going to live. Now, I hear she was shot, too. How sad,, I don't know what she stood for, but I don't care. Poor thing is dead. And that's sad, though I wouldn't feel such sorrow for some of America's female pols should they be killed.
Where were her armed guards?

I THOUGHT guns were banned there.

Guns are highly restricted in the UK,... but, some are allowed... (and a small number may be kept illegally)...

Early reports said it looked like an antique weapon... it may have been a collectable or family heirloom...
At least this limited the carnage to 1 dead and 1 injured....
Unlike the Giffords shooting, where 6 died and 13 were wounded...

Sadly, these sad events can happen anywhere...

What is the suspected motive? And I don't buy the insane nutt job crap either.

Best regards,

I read some speculation that the motive may have been political, related to the upcoming referendum on whether or not Great Britain should leave the EU. Mrs. Cox was a strong proponent of staying in, and some witnesses said that the attacker was yelling "Britain out !" or something like that, which is apparently a catch phrase used by the faction that is in favor of the country exiting the EU.

Even if that's the case, I think it's pretty hard to dismiss the " insane nut job" component.

Sane people don't do sh*t like that.

I can accept the rational that an unbalanced person can commit a horrendous crime. The little that I read basically said they were bat $hit crazy and they was not motive as of yet.

So,

A promising young woman with a bright future is dead. A country that is very important on the world stage is in the midst of a political upheaval that might very well determine the fate of the European Union. Something that has ramifications for our own country.

And we're gonna just have the same old dumb a*s arguments about gun control ? Roll Eyes
