FlameZilla's point about the search being cornered off was a good one. The point I was making is I hate that loosers like this guy have the ability to have as much impact as they do on innocent peoples lives, and sometimes I think people and governments over react and almost give them more power and their actions more power by scaring and being over cautious. Is the cancelling of a stadium event at this point worth it? I honestly don't know, but given that the attacks were not suicide bombing, and by all accounts after the fact, this person seems to be trying to survive, do they really need to be encouraging people to stop living normal lives? Maybe they do, as FlameZilla said in that area, I don't know. But I just dislike that people are still being scared and stopping doing normal things because of what this loser has done, and I was questioning if the officials in charge needed to be perpetuating that at this point, that is all.
I wasn't in London for the 2005 bombings, but from the reports I saw and talking to family that does live over there, I was amazed at how resiliant the people of that city were and how quickly they tried to get back to "life as normal", I really thought that was a great way to respond to "terror".

I really question how much you've been following this story, if at all. The other suspect was taken after he detonated a suicide vest. It is not at all unreasonable to expect the suspect on the loose to be wearing the same. When cornered last night the suspects discharged grenades and another pressure cooker IED.
Are you seriously suggesting that a city that knows this individual is loose in it should be hosting an event that draws thousands of people to one place, let alone encouraging people to be out and about the city in general? Use some common sense.
