An update on this story. Apparently embarrassed by the negative publicity they were receiving over arresting no members of this mob, British authorities arrested two people. Will this token gesture allow them to save face? In contemporary Britain, it probably will.
“2 held for violent protest outside Indian embassy in London,” India Today, September 4, 2019 (thanks to E.):
New Delhi: Two people were arrested on Wednesday in connection with the violent protest outside the Indian High Commissioner in London over Kashmir.
In a tweet, news agency ANI said, Two people have been arrested by police in connection with the violent protest outside Indian High Commissioner in London yesterday [Tuesday].
The arrests came a day after the Indian High Commission in London was vandalised after a protest over Kashmir turned violent.
Protesters smashed windows of the Indian High Commission and even broke a windowpane of the building as they carried flags of Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK) and raised “freedom” slogans.
Confirming the violent protest, the Indian High Commission had tweeted, “Another violent protest outside the Indian High Commission in London today, 3 September 2019. Damage caused to the premises.” The Indian High Commission had also shared a photo of the damaged window pane on Twitter.
Responding to the tweet by India in the UK, London Mayor Sadiq Khan condemned the violent protests, saying it was “unacceptable”. “I utterly condemn this unacceptable behaviour and have raised this incident with @metpoliceuk to take action,” London Mayor Sadiq Khan tweeted….

Are you giving us an update on this story because I have previously pointed out that there had been arrests, contrary to your original report, Robert?

Be careful.in future. It allows your detractors to use it as an example that you are “a liar”. You’ve been warned…..

If an event happens, and Mr. Spencer gets a report on it because it involves islam and its jihad, and Mr. Spencer posts it with or without comments, he is not responsible for what the report states.
If an event happens and there are no “arrests made” at the time of the report, nor any at the time of Mr. Spencer receiving the report…which is credible…then why should Mr. Spencer wait hours or days to see if there are “arrests” of the perps? Since he posts “updates” to stories he runs on the site, it isn’t necessary to wait for those stories to be updated by the media before he posts the original event.
If there was a site that reported on serial killers, would it make sense to wait until the police caught the guy before the site published the information that the public has a right to know? If so, the Golden State killer would not have been known to the pubic until the guy was arrested a few months ago…although the killings were decades ago.
I seriously doubt that Mr. Spencer posted the update due to your comments.

Thank you. Good comment.

……..
Robert Spencer is obviously a man of the highest integrity but of course he is responsible for posting reports which are untrue – which I know he wouldn’t deliberately do. And of course to serve us well and preserve his reputation he should provide updates or corrections of reports which turn out not to be true.

I seldom cross-post, but I will ask the same question that I did on the original story:
Does Peter Buckley have a problem with ravening Muslims violently attacking the Indian High Commission because their nation won’t cede part of their land to Jihadists? Not so he says…
gravenimage says
Jihad Watch regularly updates stories, as does any reputable purveyor of the news. Pretending that updating stories makes one a liar is utterly bizarre.
Good post. Somehistory.
Westman says
Warned? By a superiority-complex ego that is offended that his offering, among thousands, might have been missed by a man still recovering from near death?
After being mis-labelled and conflated with Richard Spencer, I doubt any latency in Mr. Spencer’s writings will keep him up at night.

What are you trying to prove here? Robert Spencer is extremely diligent in posting and updating events as they happen.
Kerry Wade says
Correct, if anyone thinks they can do better than Dr Spencer they had better wobble their head, get real and sod off. Don’t embarrass yourself!
jayell says
I’ve looked through the normal sources over here (UK dailies online, etc.) where I’d normally expect to see some kind of report on an event like this, but there’s no mention of this demo. It looks suspiciously like there’s been a blackout, rather like there have been blackouts on the Tommy Robinson demos, unless the news moguls think it’s not important enough with all the Brexit pantomime going on.
St. Ferdinand III says
Not a word. ‘Protesters’ – word Moslem is never mentioned. You would have thought some angry white guys pissed at Millwall losing at footie were to blame….MSM reporting is pure shite

Good point. So often we have to read between the lines. Just absurd.

UK: Two members of violent Muslim mob that attacked Indian High Commission finally arrested
…………………..
Two out a violent mob is not many…
mortimer says
Agree with Robert Spencer. If the UK did not arrest people, India would have been very annoyed. This is not the way to treat a friend.
jayell says
India is the UK’s friend?
Rueben_Singh says
Are you ignorant to even make a comment like that?
Terry Gain says
Is the UK India’s friend or Pakistan’s friend? A

Jayell, you might also want to consider the following:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coalition_casualties_in_Afghanistan
1/ Killed by the Taliban, the Taliban was supported by pakistan.
They were in fact killed therefore by pakistan.
2/ The northern alliance was the main enemy of the taliban before the US invasion. The NA was supported by India

3/ The Mumbhai terror attacks were carried out by a pak teror group supported by the pak establishment.

“India remains Lashkar’s main enemy, but the group has
been waging a peripheral jihad against the United States
and its allies”

4/ The UK has allowed islamic extremists to freely fund raise in the UK

“Almost half of the external aid sent by Pakistani expatriates in the United Kingdom for the earthquake victims was funneled to the growth of the LeT.”
Charities
“within Europe, Britain is a major center for fundraising for LeT because of its very large Pakistani immigrant population.[40] ”
This is tolerated to appease the pakistani moslems and gain votes, it is also establishment fear.
So you tell me who is who is who’s enemy and who is who’s friend??
gravenimage says
Yes, India is an ally of ours. Pakistan is *not*.
VINU says
Arresting just 2 out of around 2000 pigs? This is just an eyewash.
gravenimage says
Yes–two arrests out of this whole mob is a joke.
Infidel says
Probably trying to make the Sultan Mayor happy, which is why they initially didn’t arrest anyone
Kerry Wade says
Pakistan will not stand a chance if it dares to go to war with India which probably why Pakistani muslins are such loud mouthed louts. India will not allow another slaughter of its Hindu’s. Pakistan beware!
infidel says
While Indian scientists at ISRO (Indian Space Research Org) toil day and night and almost landed on the moon yesterday, these vile creatures of Jehaad from Pakistan want nothing else that somehow mass infiltrate into India and orchestrate mass murder of Hindus in Ghazwa E Hind… What a shameful contrast between 2 nations that became independent at the same time in 1947.

Grimly true, Infidel.

Generic statement that could be said of pretty much anything – “manspreading” in the subway, tweeting something “offensive”, people not cleaning up after their dogs, etc.

Yep. And notice how Khan is shifting blame to the police, even though they are going easy on rioting Muslims in the first place because of orders from the top–including the mayor’s office.
