[Spicerack]

5 dead. 40 injured.
Can't see any mention on AB. Apologies if I've missed it.

Confirms a "we'll see" then.

Looks like he's a career criminal and general scumbag. Hope Wisconsin has the death penalty.

A small miracle that (so far at least) none of the victims were kids.

[youngmafbog]

Out on low bail.

Some answers will need to be given for that. Seems they [the authorities] have been a bit liberal leaning of late. Employed VERA to look at their ways of working.

As to this mans motives, best wait and see. Lets have no trials by media as usual.

[royfromaus]

No trials by media except for when you want a trial by media, YMB?

[youngmafbog]

You dont know me well at all do you Roy. Perhaps look up my many posts on the subject of trials by media.

You will find that I abhor them, no matter who is the subject.

Still don't let that get in the way of a good slur eh? Seems to be the way AB works.

[Mozz71]

At least it seems that this wasn't terrorism related. Thank heavens for small mercies.

[burlyshirley]

^ What a strange comment. There are still people dead and people grieving !

[Mozz71]

Absolutely Shirley, but a terrorist attack would mean it was a planned action, and leaves the distinct possibility of more to come. This, although as tragic in result, seems to have been the action of a desperate thug.

[royfromaus]

Maybe you should check your threads, YMB?

Why is this the action of a desperate thug, Mozz?

[Peter Pedant]

ask the thug roy not mozza

[Mozz71]

Well Roy, reports have been that the culprit was a career criminal escaping from a domestic dispute. Obviously, full details are yet to be released, but police wouldn't say that if they weren't pretty certain.

[THECORBYLOON]

No response still from TORATORATORA telling us what the motivation was.

[douglas9401]

Experts are working feverishly to slow his rate of spin but he may already have created his own gravitational field.

[royfromaus]

Are you always so easily taken in, Mozz?

There was no pursuit, it was manufactured by the media.

[royfromaus]

This terrorism malarkey always confounds me.

If this scumbag had colluded with a mate who planned to do something similar next week it would be classed as terrorism but because he acted alone it isn't terrorism.

[THECORBYLOON]

"because he acted alone it isn't terrorism" perhaps there was no terrorist motive in the first place?

MP, Jo Cox, was murdered by a terrorist acting alone.

MP, Sir David Amess, was murdered and the alleged murderer has been charged with terrorist-related offences.

He is thought to have carried out the attack alone.

[Mozz71]

Well Roy, as I wasn't present, nor involved in the police investigation, I have to take what is said at face value. The police statement claim it is not being considered as terrorism. Not the media, the police. Obviously you know better.

[ynnafymmi]

Doesnt look lke a Trump voting white supremacist to me.Looks more like a black guy.I wonder if the BLM mob will be out demonstrating against this fascist?

[Peter Pedant]

// This terrorism malarkey always confounds me.//
well it shouldnt

if you stab an MP because he has parked in 'your'space that is well stabbing

if you stab an MP because he voted for the Muslim exclusion and repatriation somewhere Bill - then that is terrorism esp if you cut his hand off, and exclaim - see the hand of treason flies thro the air!

Amess was stabbed at a MP surgery which is pretty political really
