Theresa May's Defiance Against Terror
March 23 2017 By Abiodun Giwa
"Tomorrow morning, Parliament will meet as normal. We will come together as normal. And Londoners - and others from around the world who have come here to visit this great City - will get up and go about their day as normal."
Prime Minister Theresa May said on Wednesday evening in a broadcast to Britons, following the terror attack in London. The terror attack claimed three lives, including a police officer. The attacker, whose only brandished weapon was an eight inches knife, apart from the car, which he rammed into unsuspecting public, was killed .
May's statement brimmed with defiance, despite the loss of lives and that the prime minister herself was reportedly whisked away to safety from the Parliament building. She hailed the innocent civilians killed in the attack and the police officer, and other others who sustained injury.
But the question still remains about how relatives of those killed in the attack would fill the void created by the sudden death of their loved ones. For how long will the society continued to accommodate deadly attacks on innocent people by marauders using anything as weapons?
They have used the bomb. They have used the gun. They have used the truck. They are have used a car and knife. Having discovered that security has become water tight and that they can no longer easily use the bomb and the gun to mow people down, they have resorted to the use of trucks in Paris and Berlin. Perhaps, thinking that police are at alert and suspicious of trucks, a car has become the latest weapon.
And after innocent people have been killed, politicians will mount the soap box to preach defiance and that thoughts and prayers go to the family of the victims of the attacks. The process has become a procedure. Condemn the attack. affirm the superiority of home culture and remember the dead for that moment. The rational question is about when the terror attack against innocent souls will stop, since no has left his or her home country to anywhere in the developed world to be killed by terrorists.
Even, if it is only one person that has been killed, it is the family of the only one victim that know the pain of that loss and would wish that it has never happen. It is true that any attempt to defeat the western culture by terrorist will be doomed to fail as noted by the prime minister, but are the terrorists not creating pain by successfully killing people, who would wish to be alive and whose relatives have been thrown into a life of eternal sorrow?
Fact: Those who have been killed by these mindless terrorist can never come back here again. They are gone and gone forever, no matter the number of times we remember them. It is why people are asking that these terrorists be permanently stopped. Imagine the woman who was terrified by the moving car as an object of terror, and jumped over the bridge into the water! Is this normal?
