UPDATE: There are reports that the machete-wielding man was screaming about killing Muslims, but that is based on the word of only one witness. Who is that witness? Is he a Muslim? A member of Tell Mama? There are also other reports that this was a driving dispute. The motive is as yet unclear.

It’s like Ariana Grande, all over again.

Police in South Wales arrested two men who were carrying a machete in a threatening manner outside the very venue where pop star Justin Bieber is due to play.
Police, as usual, are downplaying any type of Islamic terror tie and say they don’t see evidence the suspects they arrested are tied to terrorism. But they’re not releasing the suspects’ names yet, either.
Here’re some details, from the Express:
“Video has emerged of a man allegedly wielding a machete being tackled by police near the Principality Stadium in Cardiff this afternoon.
Police are seen pinning a man to the ground as a crowd watches on.
Police are seen holding the machete as the man is bundled into the back of a police van.
George Petrov,23, told UniLad: “I was walking and I saw a security guy pull the person from the car. He was holding a machete inside the car. The security guys saw him and stopped him.” …
Officers wearing stab vests handcuff a man as a struggle breaks out and he once again is taken down on the floor.
“South Wales Police said two men have been arrested after an incident in the city centre.
Police said there is no suggestion it is a terrorist incident or linked to the Justin Bieber concert.
South Wales Police said: “South Wales Police were called to a dispute involving motorists on Saunders Road, Cardiff, at approximately 3.05pm.
The Telegraph reported similarly, saying police recovered the foot-long blade during the take-down, which occurred in front of a massive crowd of passersby.
Just a few weeks ago, an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester was struck by a terror bomb attacker, Salman Abedi, leaving 22 dead and more than 100 injured.
Abedi, 22, was a Sunni Muslim who’d traveled to Libya on a few prior occasions. His family was of Libyan descent.
Still, police are pretty clear this Bieber incident isn’t tied to terror. At the same time, who carries machetes?
And why weren’t the suspects’ names immediately released so some idea of their heritage can be gleaned?
Also from the Telegraph, about the Bieber-tied incident:
A manager at the [nearby] Viva Brazil bar and restaurant, who didn’t want to be named, said: “There was a big police presence outside but it was all over very quickly.
“Thankfully no one was hurt. I wouldn’t like to say anymore because it’s obviously an ongoing police matter.”
A spokeswoman for South Wales Police said two men were arrested following a “motoring dispute”.
She said: “South Wales Police were called to a dispute involving motorists on Saunders Road, Cardiff, at approximately 3.05pm. Two men, aged 19 and 27, were arrested nearby on Penarth Road.
The 27-year-old has been arrested on suspicion of affray and the 19-year-old has been arrested on suspicion of using threatening behaviour. Both are currently in custody at Cardiff Bay Police Station.
“There are no reports of any injuries.”

If Its IQ of jihadis , its too high , if its Theresa May then its still too high.
They are hiding the jihadis name to fool the kuffar and soon the Jihadi will be let off with a warning . He will probably go back to working in one of these 3 top coffee chains which employs these wonderful “refugees”.
3 major Coffee chains employing muslim staff found serving Iced coffee with fecal Bacteria http://bit.ly/2snziZ8
Just when you think you know your muslim they throw a curve ball !
Maybe UK sharia Police after arresting , naming , threatening patriots who speak out against jihadi criminals they will go have cup of Iced tea served by their fav muslim waiters.

Don’t forget the cuddly teddy bears and flowers. What self respecting jihadi could resist all the love?

I understand Muslims are moving into the fluffy toys, flowers and candle trade, as a rising commodity. Insider knowledge !

Hate to say it but they way Manchester’s leadership is going its pretty much “Prey in Manchester”. Saying a prayer for the victims is still a good thing. Hopefully there will soon be an answer for the prayers for Manchester to rise up and defend itself.

This type of activity changes people, changes the way they live. I guess the elite, the wealthy, powerful, such as our stars, politicians, singers, they are in it like the rest of us. There is no escape. They may wish to review their ideology, their views concerning global matters. Or not.

Not a problem. Bieber tries to pass himself off as being some sort of international bad ass, just sic him on those miscreants and he will mop up the mess single handed. In truth, if it wasn’t for his protection detail he would have had his ass whipped unmercifully many times. And who would pay good money to watch this candy ass perform?

Perhaps he’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but machetes ? Couldn’t they just throw rotten fruit as in the good ole days ?

In time the privileged may reconsider their liberal views, or perhaps not. At very least, they may be forced to acknowledge that they are not exempt, to that which the average man is experiencing.

The attacker in the photos above appeared quite smug and content with himself. Content with what? Murdering little girls? Take on men, man to man, fight fair like a man, and see what you are made of.

Moslems hate rock music. Mr. Machete must REALLY hate the
“Bieb”.

The Biebs draws a lot of pubescent girls. It’s a great place to murder and maim the innocent.

Salman Abedi is just an aspiring gardener looking to peacefully practice clearing brush and trimming shrubberies.
