law and disorder .. 30+ cops, 1 guy with machete, guy lives. why?

Take a look at this and you’ll understand a bit more why I say this place is doomed. I mean muslims aside.

All these cops and not one gun.  Scroll down to the video at the link. It’s about 5 minutes and not the very best quality, but you’ll get a graphic look at how screwed up they are.
The ass wipe should have been shot dead. But no.  Softly, softly does it. And this being the UK, if they did delete the schmuck, there’s be investigation after investigation and inquiries and pot shots at the police and accusations of bad policing made by people who don’t have to face some large idiot with a two-foot machete.

Thirty riot police tackled machete-wielding man

He was sprayed with CS gas but still kept swinging the 2ft blade

The images shows a pot-bellied man in a distinctive floral shirt viciously swinging the huge blade wildly in the air in Brockley, south London.

As he lurches forward, officers resort to fighting him off with a wheelie bin in an attempt to subdue him.

Homeowners called police after the balding man was spotted standing in the middle of a roundabout holding the lethal weapon.

When officers rushed to the scene, witnessed said the man reappeared ‘out of nowhere’, waving the blade in the air.

The video footage shows the man frenziedly staggering around the normally busy main road grasping the blade in his right hand.

With two squad cars parked in the middle of the road to act as cover, police officers continue to scream at the attacker during the seven-minute video urging him to lay down his weapon.

But ignoring their pleas, he strides around lashing out at anyone who dares step near him.

He can be heard screaming ‘come on then’ before cornering one policeman behind a wheelie bin.

Acting instinctively a brave colleague dashes to hit the machete-wielding man with his baton - before being driven back as the man turns and lashes out.

Officers wielding riot shields and batons can be seen slowly surrounding the man in a horse shoe shape - before rushing him and pushing him to the ground.

Eyewitness Mark Pether, who filmed the astonishing footage from his home overlooking the incident, said: ‘Me and some friends were having a barbecue in the back garden when a friend phoned to say she had just seen a man holding a machete stood on a roundabout nearby

‘We thought she was joking - but moments later a load of police cars came screaming around the corner looking for him.

‘We then heard this really loud high-pitched yelp and he just came out of nowhere. Eight of them quickly sprayed him in the face with CS spray - but he didn’t go down.

‘Even though he couldn’t see, he was still thrashing around swinging the machete at anyone who came near him. They tried to knock it out of his hand and one even tried to ram a bin in to him.

‘Only one guy had a shield - the rest were unarmed apart from these small batons. It is crazy no one got seriously hurt or even killed. It was a terrifying experience.’

Another neighbour, Margaret Brachaniec, said: ‘If he had hit someone he would have killed them. He was just crazed.’

The incident happened on Monday, a spokesman for Scotland Yard said.

Mr Pether, 21, who attends Goldsmiths University, added: ‘By the end there was at least 35 police officers at the scene - it was mad.

‘They eventually got him to lay down his machete and then all the police just rushed him. They pushed him up against a lamppost and put him in a van.

‘I don’t know what made him take to the streets with a machete but he was clearly angry and upset about something.

‘At first I was in complete shock. I thought the stand off was going to go on for an hour, but it was over in 20 minutes once back up arrived.’

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
