Which is..?

[emmie]

if you like, a terror related incident, looks like an Asian man wielding a knife, not good for Australia, but glad that he's dead.

[naomi24]

He was Somali, known to the authorities and related to others of interest to the authorities. No surprise there. I'm pleased he's dead too. One less.

[anneasquith]

Yes, go for it TTT .

[jno]

are you going to mention something that isn't in your link already?

[jackthehat]

Mentioning 'the obvious' when it is obvious.....is a little redundant, surely?

His death is no great loss to humanity but I wish his victims and their families well.

[Jackdaw33]

No doubt we'll be told he had a 'history of mental illness'.

[anneasquith]

Do you have a link for that Jack ?

[spathiphyllum]

"mental illness
noun
a condition which causes serious disorder in a person's behaviour or thinking."


If the actions from the man aren't disorder then enlighten me to what is ;)

[Jackdaw33]

No, it's just the standard excuse from the apologists for Islam.

[Jackdaw33]

We all know the name of the elephant in the room and it isn't Jumbo.

[youngmafbog]

True JD, except the apologists dont want it mentioned.

[chelle7272]

The article already says it's terror related. What's to add?

[Mamyalynne]

I shan't speculate on illness, we have no idea if that's the case.

Horrendous act there.

[youngmafbog]

"The article already says it's terror related. What's to add?"

The group behind it.

[Mamyalynne]

The group who claim to be behind it is also in the article.

//The Islamic State (IS) group said on Friday that one of its "fighters" was behind the attack, its Amaq news agency reported.//

That's where links are useful.

[jackthehat]

IS have a habit of claiming 'credit' for every action carried out by a murderous Muslim (whatever his/her level of sanity).

I'm still not sure what or where this elephant in the room is...
