A MAN has been shot dead by armed cops today after stabbing two people in a knife rampage terror attack on a London high street.

Frantic witnesses heard gunshots and saw the man – who security sources say has “Islamist” links – collapse on the pavement on Streatham High Road.

Kiranjeet Singh, 38, told the Sun Online the suspected terrorist stole a 10inch knife from his brother’s bargain shop before leaving a trail of injured people in his wake.
He stabbed a terrified woman in the back before she ran away screaming in pain, another witness said, before slashing a young man in the chest with a “huge knife”.
Panicked people urged the wounded man to “stay with us” as he lay gravely injured on the ground.
Armed cops raced to take down the knife-wielding man – thought to be wearing some resembling a suicide vest – and shot him three times just after 2pm.
Security sources have said it is being treated as an “Islamist” attack – after tentative cops were seen approaching his body. A Metropolitan Police statement said: “A man has been shot by armed officers in #Streatham. At this stage it is believed a number of people have been stabbed.
“The circumstances are being assessed; the incident has been declared as terrorist-related.”
Cops shouted for people to “get back” as they cleared the area of shoppers and bystanders immediately after the shooting.
One horrified witness who watched the sickening scenes unfold told the Sun Online: “I was outside having a cigarette near Argos and Iceland when I saw a woman in hysterics running up the street screaming ‘he stabbed me in the back’.
“As that was happening I looked up and saw another commotion and a man run away with a huge knife.
“There was a guy on the floor covered in blood with a huge gash down his side.
“He was in a really bad way and people were circled round him shouting ‘stay with us’. His clothes were soaked in blood.
“Then I heard the gunshots. There was one first. Then a pause for a while and two or three more.
The guy was just running around with a huge knife randomly stabbing people so police had to stop him.
“The police seemed to arrive pretty quickly but I was standing outside for at least 25 minutes before the first ambulance arrived. It was too slow.
“They went straight to the guy on the floor to help him then what looked like specialist police doctors or something came and helped too.”
Following the shocking attack the US Embassy told people to stay away from the Streatham area.
It has been suggested the armed man was known to cops, after dozens of armed police and undercover officers flooded the south London high street minutes after his rampage began.
Streatham MP Bell Ribero-Addy, told Sky News: “The police have been very clear that this was an isolated incident.”
“For them to have responded that quickly they must’ve been aware of something, so that shows that they are doing good work in terms of investigating individuals.”

“Here we go again. “Known to police” who do nothing about it because that would be ‘Islamophobic.'” – Pamela Geller, you have it so right. Maybe this will cause a few more (hundreds?) to join us fighting for the UK.
But, isn’t the work of constructing the gallows, buying nails, wood, wood finisher, finding the best hot dog vendors, etc., labor intensive? Wouldn’t it be so much easier to just take a few dozen of the degenerates up in a basket (suspended by a helicopter) and drop them all into a volcano?
As much as I love your suggestion, the volcano is a new rub … Random length lumber ain’t that expensive. Neither are framing nails … or even sinkers. And, why use any type of treatment, for the wood? The only thing that could get a splinter would be a moslem, as they were doing the “gallows dance”.
Get paid $90 /day for working on the web from your home or anywhere you like for several hr’s everyday… Get paid regularly weekly… All you need is a laptop, internet, plus a little free-time… The greatest benefit of doing work via the web is that I’m normally home with the youngsters. Don’t miss this chance and try to respond fast. START NOW ->->-> hackflowerpot.am-strand.de
That’s right after the trap door opens. Or, simply being hoisted, with rope attached to a tree branch. I’ve never seen it. However, a long time ago I knew a few men that had. Supposedly, it’s quite the sight.
Thats ok. Just load a few thousand on to a freighter ship, then cruise to the coast of the nearest active volcano and helicopter them from there. They could drink sea water on the way.
Kufr nations have to be HIJHAH-compliant before they become SHARIA-compliant

Agreed. The guy’s name is Sudesh Amman and at one time encouraged his girlfriend to behead her parents. Other terrorist rants of his were posted on social media.

At least they called it terrorism. Usually they don’t have a clue what caused it, other than being “mentally unstable”. That pretty much covers every Muslim. Maybe Boris can get it cleaned up but he has a lot of work ahead of him and much opposition.
Boris will never address the invasion and the deplorable acts committed by these savages, nor will any one else in the rotten British establishment. Muslims see weakness and push their ideology, knowing that they will never be held accountable. Domination is their agenda and they are being allowed to implement it.

DIVERSITY! Isn’t it great?! I hope those inured will be O.K.
The same old same old, innocents stabbed, Jihadi shot dead, this narrative has no end. Hopefully, or luckily, there were no deaths, the victims, however, will continue to suffer from the aftermath. The government and authorities will continue bearing their head in the nearest and dearest orifices of denial. Islam is a pathogen of death, not unlike the coronavirus; the difference is, however, the Islamic pathogen has an antidote to rid the nation/the world of this plague, Islam, they must face deportment from whence they came.

What did mayor Khan say about expecting terrorism in a large city like
London? Oh never mind – the authorities have just released 500 more scum
out of prison where many have gone back to their original jihadist
roots. Yeah – the same authorities that turned a blind eye to the mass
industrial rape of underage Brit and Sikh school girls

Funny how all “islamist” terrorist attacks seem to be isolated incidents carried out by lone wolves.
If you can’t identify your enemy you’ve already lost…
Yes, like the so called “Asian” gangs that abuse, rape and prostitute England’s daughters in towns and cities — and worst of all —actual Pakistanis who groom, violate and enslave Britain’s orphan girls.
There is One who deeply cares for them, though authorities may cast-them aside. And He will not long suffer their woeful plight, but shall Judge in time!
“For them to have responded that quickly they must’ve been aware of
something, so that shows that they are doing good work in terms of
investigating individuals.” Or…..did they have to wait before an innocent woman got stabbed in the back before they did anything.
They had been watching him ever since he had served his time in prison and released. He got ahead of them in traffic and made his move knowing full well that he was going to be shot dead.
Such is the mindset of the brainwashed.
If you are in the states JAT, you might be surprised to learn that all those BMW X5’s in blue and yellow {EU rules} are armed police, H and K machine pistols, Glocks on one leg, body armour, shields etc, what ever they can stow where the back seats used to be. Airport guarding and touring all our towns and cities.
Did you notice the nose of the black BMW saloon showing that tiny blue light ?
That was what I call a ” Q ” car, it’s undercover, unmarked and as we now know used by armed plod. Anything can be a “Q” car from small painters vans, Skodas, Audi estates, anything because they’re used for tailing suspects or gathering intel in useful places.
There must be hundreds or thousands of them but you don’t recognise one until he’s in your mirror lights on and you’re busted.
We do things our way, England is FULL of smart arse lawyers and lefty journalists.
Why don’t these muslims ever go and attack the infidel politicians that protect them??? Now that would be justice!!!

Come on Boris DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS TOO!
This is insane. You have the majority. USE IT and SAVE LIVES with legislation that works or if laws are being ingored, ENFORCE those laws again.
The muzrat had finished his time in prison and the police were closely monitoring him. Just 2 mins behind him in traffic. Without Boris changing laws dramatically and being viewed as a fascist dictator on the world stage which is not desirable at this time of Brexit then I think they did all they could do in the circumstances.
I don’t see either the police or Boris being at fault here.
Muzrats are like timebombs and you never know when they will explode.

The POS had only just been released from jail …. Another 499 to be freed – FGS.
No way!
Guns are evil and only criminals are allowed to have gun is a gun free country. Singling out those hateful Christians would be to descriminate against others. Sorry! Sarcasm off.
It would be a wise idea to make guns LEGAL in the UK again but they won’t for self defense.
I know I’m going to sound like a liberal but I’m not. We have an average of 250 deaths by firearm per year; the USA average is 30,000. Our police who carry weapons are highly trained over many months and they are re-trained every few months which costs a lot of money. No children or civilians have ever been shot by our police; by contrast in America last year a mother was shot by her little daughter playing with a gun and a Somalian cop shot an Australian woman who called the police to check on a suspicious man outside her apartment. There were many others.
In fact in central London we are never less than 200 yards from an armed policeman.

Revealed: Officials were warned in DECEMBER against freeing terrorist Sudesh Amman early – as police are pictured searching bail hostel where he lived for just a week before carrying out bloody knife rampage
* Sudesh Amman, 20, was shot dead by police on Sunday after a knife rampage
* The extremist had been released from prison for terror offences a week before
* The Henry Jackson Society warned about the risk posed by Amman in December
* Amman had been jailed for three years and four months in December 2018
* However, after serving half of his sentence, he was automatically released early
“The police have been very clear that this was an isolated incident.” — Streatham MP.
In one sense, “isolated incident” perhaps. But on wider geographic-scale and longer time-frame, “incident” of endless series. Whether planned massacre slaying many, or spontaneous murder spree wounding few, ISLAMIST TERROR strikes the West. WAR by a thousand cuts, Koran-followers’ murderous campaign of death.
Count of atrocities and “incidents”, grows with internal population increase of Mohammad’s (name and spirit). Radical Islam’s list of jihad crimes, lengthens with host-nation’s demographic of candidates. Drum-beat of savagery perpetrated against civilians, while economies financially drain by passive perpetual measures of defense (internal-external).
WHY? Because the Liberal West has welcomed, and still invites foreigners of inherent hostile belief system, to settle their sovereign territories en-mass. Weakly tolerate formation of quasi-colonies within their homelands, settlers indifferent or hostile non-assimilated strangers. Among whom, too many have no allegiance to host-country.
From Mosque of incitement or Internet screens of indoctrination, criminally insane or base-depraved Muslim, in town or city, break-out on street or public space, and shout “Allahu Akbar” — malevolent violence unleash.
So another “isolated” incident reported. Another wound inflicted on societies, more grief brought on families and communities. And the Left-subverted West just absorbs the cuts week after week after week.

How “islamofauxbic” of the police to shoot him dead. / sarc off
The police had been monitoring him since he was released from prison and were following him in traffic when he emerged and stabbed the 2 nearest people. The scumbag obviously wanted death by cop as he was wearing a fake suicide vest to provoke that reaction so knew he was going to be followed.
That’s the point though. They WEREN’T in the wrong place at the wrong time. They were just walking about, minding their own business, doing whatever they were doing, when some homicidal POS who should never have been allowed anywhere NEAR them, or anybody else, starts trying to slaughter anyone he can reach with a knife.
And it’s not the first time this has happened.
So who was the stupid, ignorant, evil a**h*le who put these filth on half term tariffs so they can get out and do it again? Let’s hang that f**k*r while we’re at it. We’ll all be safer.
Also, according to reports, his family and girlfriend knew exactly what he felt about terrorism, isis, and us infidels apparently, and didn’t say a word, even when he was posting his garbage on family pages. They need to be looked at with prejudice too.
Glad to see Boris coming out strongly on the news tonight.
Much more so than previous PMs and is putting new legislation into place. A complete prohibition of that evil cult would be the only thing that will save us from further muzrat terror attacks though.
There will be much worse to come before it gets better.
Good to hear from you eva
Hi Dave!
Yes, he does seem to be. I’m surprised and pleased at how quickly he seems to be moving on this.
But as we know, pretty much every terrorist on the planet is a moslem, so how long before they all start screaming ‘islamophobia’!!!, in concert with the left, the snowflakes and the other assorted idiots and traitors, and he backs down?
Let’s hope he’s deaf that week.
Good to hear from you too 🙂
I do support him. I just hope he isn’t pressured out of returning the favour and supporting us.

He was on the police watch list. That list has 20,000 muslims terrorists on it. Why, because some low life government MP’s decided it was a good thing to allow islam to take hold in this once great western country. The only way to cover this up is to create laws forbidding free speech.

Here we go again, the media running interference for the ragheads. You know, the usual “known to authorities”. Soon he will be called “of Asian descent” and “had a history of mental illness”.

There was the usual discussion this morning on TV about the time Sudesh was in prison. He was released from prison after 18 months. De-radicalization does not work. France halted it’s program some time ago. No other country has run a successful program. There are a number of alternative measures which could be used: 1) immediate deportation, including all family members. 2) prison for life for any crime involving jihad. This would be expensive. Liberals of course would feel it is too severe although it would save lives. 4) reintroduction of the death penalty. This is probably the most severe sentence and is possible in parts of the USA. On the other hand the sentence must be carried out within weeks to have the full effect.
I’ll go for hanging. Then deport the rest of the family in it’s entirety.

but how, this thug had already been convicted of terrorism, do not make him serve the sentence imposed and release him ahead of time knowing his nature. British justice no longer works because of prevailing goodness throughout Europe. Either we get rid of this goodwill or we will be overwhelmed by this Islamic invasion that wants to take what in its time, thanks to Poitiers, in Lepanto, Vienna, has failed to complete

Besides the injured in these incidents what about the cost of all the security? Is it worth it to have immigrants from Islamic countries?
