London Mayor Sadiq Khan Feels 'Safe' After His Name Found on Buffalo Shooter's 'Death List'
On Saturday, a shooting in a supermarket in the city of Buffalo left 10 people dead and three injured. The 18-year-old perpetrator had earlier posted a "white manifesto" in which he listed “high-profile enemies” and called for their assassination.
London Mayor Sadiq Khan, who was reportedly named on a list of enemies of the Buffalo shooter, said that he would not allow threats from “terrorists”.
“My heart goes out to those 10 families who are grieving. We know white supremacist terrorists want to divide communities, make us cower, make us not lead the pluralistic lives we lead. Diversity is a strength and I’m not going to allow terrorists like this man to change the way I lead my life. But it’s really important that we as a city recognise that because of our pluralism, our diversity, our values we are a target for terrorists, in Buffalo or London – we’ve got to be vigilant, never complacent,” Khan said as quoted by The Guardian.
Asked whether he felt safe, Khan said that felt incredibly safe because he is “looked after by dedicated, decent brave police officers.”
