Bloody hell

[lightofdaye]

An MP has been shot and stabbed by a nutter here. That's horrifying; assassination is just not something I expect in the UK.

Horrible. :( The world's gone mad.

[lightofdaye]

Totally mad, especially as it seems referendum related. :(

Oh my goodness! That is tragic. The MP isn't dead, right? That's the kind of thing you hear in the USA but not Britain. I hope the MP recovers. The world is so messed up right now.

Yikes! I really hope he gets a miracle.

Does Britain have a lot of gun violence?

[lightofdaye]

The Mp is a she, in fact. I hope she pulls through.

Not very often at all. There was one guy who went on a rampage a few years back but it's the only big one I remember.

Oh, well I hope she recovers. People really suck. This has been a rough week for humanity. The scum of the earth has been rising to the top for some reason.

Jamaica has a fair amount of gun violence. I think we are influenced by the USA in that way. But it is never easy hearing about it/dealing with it. And it fosters an environment of fear, which is never healthy.

I just saw your second update. RIP her, and condolences to her family. People suck. This has been a bad week for humanity.

People really do suck. There are no other words atm.

We should turn over control of the planet to the animals because they do a better job.

I just can't believe this. Have no idea what to think - sheer madness.

I know what you mean. It's so sad.
