Terror Attacks
With the daily reports of people being stabbed, is it right to put so much emphasis on the 'terror' incidents? Is a Muslim radical significantly more dangerous than a repeat drink driver? There was a drunk man in Australia yesterday who ran over a group of young kids, killing 4 of them, so should that be the focus for the police?

"When were you last in danger of your life near a knife/machete/gun wielding fanatic in the street?"
Never. So why would it happening somewhere i'm not even living, produce some kind of intense fear? Exactly, it wouldn't.
Regarding the person on the subway, they made a direct one to one contact with me, that I felt produced a bad, threatening vibe. Completly different situation so I'm unsure why you'd even refer to it, especially as you weren't there.

All attacks on people by whatever means induce terror and fear, criminal investigations have long been compartmentalised to an extent ensuring they gain insight into the different ways in which different crimes evolve.
My sympathies go out to the victims wherever they are , not just in Capital cities.

Is that not true though?
Why panic about Coronavirus and buy and wear a hazmat suit because its in spread in another country? (Yes I know few reports in UK)
You can either cry about what goes on in corners you're barely aware of, let alone likely to be in and let it affect everything about your life or you can live your life.
Imagine being scared of a knife in London when you live in Staffordshire.

No one is crying in corners and Londoners and dare say Northerners are carrying on their daily business.
It doesn't mean that the likelihood is not constantly there and you never know what is around the corner.We are in a war against terrorists now and you drop your guard at your own peril, TD, if you live in the City.

The 'War On Terror ' was a nonsensical piece of soundbite used by Reagan and Bush to advertise the fact that they were keen to justify the Islamists' hatred of the West as imperialist war mongering invaders, by being ... imperialist war mongering invaders!
Result? Power vacuums and chaos, and a massive rise in terrorist atrocities committed against innocent Western people.

"We are in a war against terrorists "
Last year homicides in London were 132. 72 people died in Grenfell. This is over 50% of the annual homicides in London figure.
The number of towers with the same deadly cladding as Grenfell is 208.
So, the potential of life lost could be 14976.
Some people in London should be more scared in their own homes. Let alone me in Staffordshire worried about a little yout with a knife.

"using one set of circumstances weighed against another to make one look more serious."
Is a perfect example of what I am responding to Andy.
"You admitted filling your pants when someone gave you a dirty look on the London Underground!"
^ this is the example that was used to indicate how serious another may be.
For me to then talk on this doesn't make me guilty, but it does make me involved.
Anyhow, even still, talking about how scared people may feel in their own home, using statistics of death, is comparable to how some may feel on the street in london, compared to statistics on death, is it not?
