horrible story, looks like the son was was responsible.

[anotheoldgit]

Committed by a family member apparently, not a terror attack but a terrifying attack all the same.

[Samjenko]

Earlier reports said the knifeman shouted 'Allah Akbar' during the attack.(according to the police)

Do you think Kate and Wills will be safe?

[anotheoldgit]

/// Police sources have called for caution on the motives of the knifeman. ///

Why?

[Samjenko]

Let's hope so, zacs.

[Zacs-Master]

Well, AOG, It's like this.....there are those who would seek to relate any such attack as the work of terrorists and inflame the public and discourage tourists.

Zacs-Master

Well according to the photographs, the police don't seem particularly bothered about inflaming the public and so discouraging tourists.

"Judicial police are leading the investigation." - so Judge Dredd is on the case? sounds like an oxymoron to me. It'll be the religion of peace.

[Zacs-Master]

Some people read beyond the photographs AOG.

Indeed they do, me included, but without photographs and videos where would we be?

I mean, some would just say "it's all lies".

We need to be careful about believing 'early reports' about such attacks.

Only a couple of months ago, the bloke who launched the attack in Quebec was said to have shouted 'Allah akbar', except he didn't.

Because he didn't shout it and wasn't Muslim.

One can only post about news reports as they come in. (there doesn't seem much further coverage on this)
Just because some papers/stations were misinformed once, you surely aren't suggesting we wait for the inquest before posting on future stories?
Note, I didn't claim he shouted it.

[Zacs-Master]

'you surely aren't suggesting we wait for the inquest before posting on future stories?'

What....and stop all the mindless speculation. Heaven forbid!
