[Khandro]

Have you never tried cannabis grumpy?

[THECORBYLOON]

Ach well, there's no point arguing against such a strong case.

[naomi24]

grumpy, I'd hazard an educated guess that this is wholly political.

[grumpy01]

No I haven’t Khandro,have you?

[1ozzy]

And I'd hazard an educated guess, stoners weren't responsible for this atrocity and politics didn't enter the equation.

My uneducated guess would be that those that have no respect for others could possibly be responsible.

[anneasquith]

Canabis is the cause of this atrocity?

[anotheoldgit]

Children murdered as well, how awful, what a world we are now living in.

On LBC radio this morning the Manchester bombing were mentioned, the presenter stated that they were not true Muslims that carried out that atrocity, so perhaps these killers are not true white people Rockrose.

[anneasquith]

“ not true white people” What colour might you think they are AOG .?

[Rockrose]

Its OK Annea - he is playing a game trying to get me to respond to him - its his little joy now!

[spathiphyllum]

I once had a toke on a marijuana cigarette and thought, you know what, now is a perfect time to blow up a mosque. Lets put down these scooby snacks and crack on with it. Unfortunately i fell asleep by the time i remembered where i parked my tank.

[naomi24]

Colour isn't the issue. If it were, Buddhist and Hindu temples, and happy-clappy Christian churches frequented by people from Africa and the Caribbean would be regular targets. They're not.

[THECORBYLOON]

Next he'll be questioning the banning of "certain" right-wing groups in the UK when "certain" other groups aren't.

[spathiphyllum]

Dangerous stuff that skunk is thank god it's illegal hear the amount of school shootings in america MUST be due to the legalisation of cannabis. Disgusting.

[Prudie]

That's an off the wall irrelevant reason grumpy. I'd guess not far from 1 in 3 UK residents has tried cannabis too. You could also say the reason is they drink beer or eat eggs.

[pastafreak]

Well, if we've determined that it couldn't be Muslims killing Muslims...it must have been Christians. And not "true" Christians.

[spathiphyllum]

ye but cannabis is a drug isn't it so i mean it's a drug so that's that.

[Bazile]

//That drugs are involved is unsubstantiated speculation and that skin colour was the motive highly unlikely.//

Given that the larger percentage of Muslims have skin of a certain hue , I'd say skin colour has something to do with it

[spathiphyllum]

I'd say.. the fact they were in the mosque had somethign to do with it, because this guy had no clue if they were english, from new zealand or pakistan he also had no idea on their religion, the fact they were in a mosque was enough for him. This happened because some mentally ill far right idiot targeted a mosque and the people in it.

[retrocop]

Bazile
I believe what was meant it was more the particular religion of the victims.Not the skin otherwise there would be an extinct race of Maoris

[naomi24]

spath, //he also had no idea on their religion, the fact they were in a mosque was enough for him.//

Unless you think that all the people in that mosque were on a sightseeing trip, that would tell him something, no?
