From across the pond....

"Counterterrorism police advanced their investigation into the brutal slaying of a British soldier [Lee Rigby] near an army barracks....

"Witnesses at the scene of Wednesday's attack said two men hacked at Mr. Rigby with large knives in broad daylight. Videos taken by witnesses quickly surfaced of a man with bloodied hands, apparently in the immediate aftermath of the incident, stating antigovernment views in a British accent....

"Amid the remarkable scene, Ingrid Loyau-Kennet, a former teacher who arrived shortly after the attack, said she found an injured man in the road and a crashed car on the pavement. In an interview..., she said she approached the man but was told not to get too close by another man who was 'excited,' had blood all over him, and was in possession of two large knives and a handgun" (Wall Street Journal, 5/24/13).

"Around her [Ingrid Loyau-Kennet's] neck, she wears a small gold cross, encrusted with rubies and diamonds. She is a practising Catholic and partly credits her faith for how she acted. 'I live my life as a Christian,' she explains. 'I believe in thinking about others and loving thy neighbour. We all have a duty to look after each other. A whole group of people walking towards those guys would have found it easy to take those weapons out of their hands. But me, on my own, I couldn’t'" (The Telegraph, 5/23/13).

"Her Catholic values also come through..., when she is asked why she wasn’t scared to confront the murderers. Her answer: 'Better me than a child.'

"She was concerned because there were mothers with children around, and she was instinctively willing to risk her life for one of the least of these (Matthew 25:40). That is our faith." (Dawn Eden, 5/23/13)
