Van hits pedestrians near Finsbury Park Mosque in London

[Ichinisan]

Fucking horrible asshole. What did the attacker think that would accomplish?

 

[brycejones]

Funny how the mayor calls this incident terrorism. Didn't he say something to the effect that it's something you all need to deal with when that last terrorism incident occurred?

No he didn't say that.

 

[brycejones]

The victims were leaving a mosque?

Well that was a record for buckshatting a thread.

 

[SOFTengCOMPelec]

***** ****** *******. What did the attacker think that would accomplish?

He may have been mentally ill, and not properly known or understood what he was doing.

Seeing the picture of him, he does look potentially mentally ill, at the time.

At this moment in time, it is not known if he killed anybody or not. Since the dead person, may have died, just before the incident and/or died anyway, since he had collapsed through illness?, even before the van was anywhere near the scene.

All terrorist attacks are retaliatory in the mind of the terrorists.

I'd say you're very right. Which doesn't make it ok either.

Hopefully everyone injured is going to be ok, and they catch the two other guys who got away and punish all three harshly. Those that are caught after a terrorism attack, need to be punished harshly. Hopefully to send a message to not do it, but it will probably just make them think they are more of a martyr. And the cycle will continue. I'm not religious like that, attacking those that are attending is an even lower blow to me still.

why are you defending terrorist attacks conner, and doing it by lying about what the mayor of London said on top of it. You're pathetic. You support terrorist activities as long as it fits in with your neo-nazi agenda.

Fucking horrible asshole. What did the attacker think that would accomplish?

Think... accomplish? You skip past the point. Take a step back and study human tribalism throughout history. It's really pretty simple "us vs them" mentality at play. The same sort of violence that'd play out here if left unchecked without calls for civility. What happens is the media (social especially) ramps up the partisanship, the fear, and hatred... and then the violence. As those factors increase the weaker among us act out against the "others".

It's simply a human condition, a failing of our mental faculties that leads to such atrocities.

Why can't conservatives just get along with other religions? Inevitable result of all the hatred of right-wing loony media. The government should probably take control of the right-wing media so this doesn't happen again.

Oh, white guy?

 

[Jaskalas]

Oh, white guy?

Do we need to say the words "Radical White Terrorism" to make it better, Mr. Trump is that you?

 

[Stokely]

Since the public seems unable to keep from panicking over the actions of these sick losers--for who religion is just an excuse and means to self-justify their misguided fantasies--I propose banning the word "terrorism". Accurate yes, but it gives these losers way too much credit. Drunk drivers, deer and bees kill more people on average, car accidents and hospital mistakes orders of magnitude more--but we don't seem to be changing our way of life and surrendering our actual freedom to the govt (Patriot Act etc) over it.

And why people engage obvious trolls that have no intent but to piss people off on here is beyond me, but whatever floats your boat. Ignore is a great thing.

 

[Flapdrol1337]

Has trump tweeted his congratulations yet?

 

[jackstar7]

Do we need to say the words "Radical White Terrorism" to make it better, Mr. Trump is that you?

Nope.

I'd actually prefer it if we addressed ALL criminal violent acts with the view that mental illness was involved and then MAYBE started to address mental health with some actual effort.

 

[Grooveriding]

Has trump tweeted his congratulations yet?

He's saving that for someone closer to home I think. Probably having the medal engraved as we speak.

NO, he didn't, you fucking ignoramus. You are repeating an ignorant Trump LIE.

Here is what the Big Orange Ignoramus tweeted, a big steaming turd of a lie which YOU swallowed whole:

Trump, writing on Twitter Sunday, said: "At least 7 dead and 48 wounded in terror attack and Mayor of London says there is "no reason to be alarmed!"

Here is what the Mayor of London actually said:

"Londoners will see an increased police presence today and over the course of the next few days. There's no reason to be alarmed," he said.

The Mayor was saying that there was no reason to be alarmed about the increased police presence, not about the attack itself.

Now that you know the truth, I fully expect you to man up and simply acknowledge the fact that you repeated a LIE.

Do not hold your breath, chunky monkey will never, ever own up to the fact that drumpf is a pathological liar. Ever.

 

[SOFTengCOMPelec]

Oh, white guy?

By and large, Muslims have not had terrorist attacks against them, in the UK. But there has been the odd attack now and then, over the years.

So there is a good chance that this was just some random (one-off, lone wolf) guy, who happened to be mentally ill. Rather than the start of a terrorist movement against Muslims in the UK.

The singular of terrorist movement is very frequently a random guy who happened to be mentally ill.

The double standards are staggering - in giant, blinding neon lights.

Then I'm sure you can actually show them.

With the whole string of terror attacks it has become hard to follow, but I think he's referring to the following exchange:

http://www.cnn.com/2017/03/23/polit...or-london-attack-tweet-duplicate-2/index.html

You are correct in that he's applying alt-right spin to the topic.

Modern day terrorists, seem to be some kind of mixture of Mentally Ill, Criminal, Extremely-Religious/extremist and/or members of some kind of Hate group (not necessarily religion orientated), such as the IRA or ISIS

It is very difficult, to fairly identify the true cause in each case of terrorism. Without having at least some or even lots, of bias, which may be unfair.

So following the links it traces back to these comments

http://www.standard.co.uk/news/worl...nd-parcel-of-life-in-a-big-city-a3347891.html


Which seem reasonable, to me. Big cities these days need to be prepared for terror attacks. What's so controversial about that observation? Heck, London had to be prepared for them for most of the '70s.

What on earth was that Chelsea bomb attack about anyway? I missed that story. Bombing a home for the blind?

 

[Sunburn74]

Its almost as if London sighed a collective breath of relief when they realized the driver was a white guy...

Take a pill or something. The mayor could have been saying that but there is plenty of reason to be alarmed, police presence or not.
