  1. No matter what you think of the monarchy, I think we can all agree that throwing shotgun cartridges at something is a stupid idea.

  2. I have to think that if you’re anti monarchy, you could come up with a more constructive way of making your point besides throwing shotgun shells at Buckingham palace.

  3. >The man was also found to be in possession of a suspicious bag, the Metropolitan Police said.

    Was he also wearing a loud shirt in a built-up area?

  4. The Americans are going to have fun with this.

    “See where gun control gets you? The best you can do when you want to raise a militia is chuck a cartridge on a lawn!”

  5. With an economic crisis and surging Republican sentiment, the coronation is a monumentally bad idea. Even if you’re a monarchist, surely we can all agree at this point the coronation proceeding will be a huge security risk for all involved? The coronation should be cancelled in the interests of public safety. I fear it will incite widespread riots and disorder that will leave London in flames.

  6. I believe there was also a “ suspicious “ bag also tossed in ( that’s what they did a controlled explosion on ) because no way anyone actually thought tossing shells in would do anything at all .
