ISIS has claimed responsibility for the attack that happened on Saturday night. Police immediately arrested 12 people who are suspected to connect with the attack. There are still more than 3,000 terrorist suspects on Britain's watch lists. Authorities say that they cannot stop every attack or track down all the suspects. “There are 500 ongoing active investigations the Security Services are carrying out, and that covers the three thousand people of interest plus others that they may not want to add into the list while they’re still subject to these ongoing investigations,” Michael Clarke, a UK counterterrorism expert said. “There have been 13 or 14 plots that have been foiled in the last 12 months.”

What's your opinion about this?
I think the police reacted really well considering, the attack could have been way more worse, making more people injured. The police were quick to the scene, therefore stopping it from getting worse. I do believe it must be very hard for them to be able to tell a car is about to ram into people, it's all crazy and really shouldnt happen at all!
I think it will take a really long time to put an end to all these madness.
We have to start seeing this issue from a bigger picture. On one hand, you have idiotic home grown terrorists who attack the innocent for no god damn reason. On the other hand, you have idiots in the government who are not putting in efforts to make the situation better, even worse, trying to isolate the problem and letting more innoncent people die.
I pray and I hope, I really hope that we think of a solution that can put an end to all these madness once and for all. I can't bear to hear another life taken away just like that by terrorism. It's really painful and sad to see that mess people before us made unfolding in our time. It's really sad.
