There was footage on Youtube showing the post attack. People still ask me why I wanted to move away.

And there are no terrorist attacks in any other country.. get a life.

ITV have just done a great job of giving the killer loads of air time, showing him talking to someone filming him with a mobile phone. the killer's hand are covered in blood and he still had the weapons with him. ITV should NEVER have given him the publicity.

That sounds like you're yelling at me. I couldn't agree with you more. Why are you so angry?

Reports are that the two killers were muslims and shouting 'God is Good' in Arabic while waiting for the police to arrive.

No way are they Muslims? Muslim people are peace full everyday folk. These guys are freeking nutters, period. Hopefully they will die in hospital.

I wish they wouldn't call it a terrorist attack, more a crazed nutter. Terrorist implies organisation, I dunno, prob wrong there and not explaining it very well.

My guess is what you have here are young people of certain ethnic minority that feel marginalize and discriminated again by the dominant society and who have conflated and subsequently transferred their feelings onto a simplistic and reductionist ideological analysis of British and some other weak notion of “The West”, foreign policies. This violence is abhorrent, but if we are going to try and find the causes and thus the treatment, over simplifying the problem ourselves, while satisfying, is not terribly helpful. See what I did there?

I was going to agree with you but then I thought: if there are ideas out there provoking this kind of action, then by calling them nutters we're downplaying the political angle.
