It's not untrue, at best. Large targets are, well, targets. Just ask that Guy Fawkes fellow why he stored all that gunpowder where he did. You know, that white dude with a strong religious conviction.
The threat of terrorist attacks. The threat. That is the key word that Trump Jr. ignored that word. Of course a big city would be a target of terrorists because its big and it will strike the most terror.
Oh not fundie unless fundie means idiot now.
My heart and condolences goes out to the good folks in London, also; Stay strong, London, and don't let people among you who wish to sow hatred among you to use this to make you more hateful.
The best way to fight terrorism is to open your arms to your Muslim fellow citizens. Wahhabi terrorists tend to be angry young citizens who feel rejected by the country their families moved to and who become susceptible to the influence of nasty people outside of their family or peers (such as on the Internet)....Much like how Neo-Nazis and Fascist types use the malaise in young white people trying to find themselves.
The parents of these terrorists are, more often than not, utterly appalled at what their kids have done. The family just wanted a better life in a nicer country with a higher standard of living where they have a better chance at life.
Ever hear of Guy Fawkes, Idiot Jr.?
Edit: Wow, I'm not even the first to mention it.
London has been the target for terror attacks for nearly fifty years; before the Islamists, it was the IRA doing the attacking. People in London have learned to live with this. Donald Trump Jr's fellow New Yorkers know what it means to face a terror attack, as well as people in Boston, Atlanta, Charleston... That he is incredulous at the idea of living with the threat of terror attacks as part of living in a big city is testament to Donald Trump Jr's detachment from the lives of ordinary people.
This is true. I wouldn't be so blasé about about it (too soon?) but this is true. The higher a population the more unstables inherently, add to that the political targeting being definitely about population and location, and Londons history, he's only right.
And what with the blatant racist, sadistic and plain stupid shit his daddies said, this is one of the last glass house living shits justified to cast stones on Earth.
What SpukiKitty said. Though to add on, there have been attacks by non Muslims as well Trump. Not to mention the whole Muslim ban plays right into the hands of Daesh and al Qaeda and the Taliban. Maybe if we want to fight them, use tactics that would cause some cognitive dissonance in their propaganda. Make recruitment less likely by showing we are nothing like they say we are. Hit them financially. Hit banks that allow their blood money to be laundered or if they have any kind of account with connections to the groups. Don't allow them to get the weapons they're using if you can. Realise most Muslims are good people and terrorism is not relegated to Islam. Christians can be terrorists as can some Buddhists. I am sure there are atheistic and Pagan based groups too.
@ Dyz
Somalia, Mali, Ukraine and Greece must be major supporters of terrorism, then. And so glad to know that Iran and North Korea have no connection with terror, even indirectly.
Hitler's Luftwaffe bombs/V-1s/V-2s. 30 years of the IRA. 7.7.
The nearest WWII got to your city was the notion of U-Boats fitted with V-1 launch rails; but that plan never came to pass; only fictionally in a "Commando" war comic.
And where did the IRA get most of it's support: certainly it's funding ? America.
School shootings in the US since 1764. But then, innocent kids being murdered is part and parcel of living in major cities, amirite Mr. Concealed Carry...?! [/Dunblane]

And he was a Catholic. Question, Wiggy: what is your President of Vice Mike Penis's religion ...?!
It's obvious this ugly little toad takes after his father.
I know this doesn't need to be said, but...just ignore him Londoners. We do.
As a pseudo-Londoner (work in the Square Mile, live elsewhere), I can say that yes, we all accept that it's when and not if, in terms of terror attacks happening in the city. Mayor Khan is correct about that. All central London businesses have security measures and response procedures in place to account for it, that's just part of business as usual.
That said, nobody is afraid. Thursday morning and even Wednesday evening, the city was just as busy as ever, and nothing out of the ordinary except a few more coppers around than usual. London's done this shit before, we can do it again.

Will you be supporting Jeremy Corbyn on 8th June , Donald Fart...?!

After all, you can't trust someone who wasn't elected into that position of power in the first place, eh Wiggy?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
