A spoksperson may well soon say "No further details will be released until we can dress it up as a result of mental illness".

Hopefully, this thread will not go the way of the Sydney threads, and we can wait for some solid information to come out about it before the dancing starts.

[Mozz71]

I thoght the Sydney threads were thweet - and really well moderated ! My, how DO they do it?

Looks like Syriac Orthodox

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syriac_Christianity - two flavours east / west. Last time I did that, I got deleted.

looks like an incel to me, probably a gay one who can't get a boyfriend.

Not quite a copycat stabbing but the attack on the women in the shopping centre may have spurred this attacker to act.

[Khandro]

Looks like the attacker is wearing a niqab -  but I may be wrong, I usually am.

Better picture here;

Wrong again, not a niqab it's dark hair, also dare I say, looks like a matching dark complexion and..... omg, a beard!

15 year old boy. 

[sandyRoe]

News reports say the assailant is a 15 year old boy.

If it's the assailant talking (in the videos), sounds like he's talking in Arabic.

You compound your abhorrent bigotry about one lot of deaths, with flippancy about another.

You make me very happy I am not a Christian like you.

15?!! Oh good grief!  I wonder why he was known to the police?

[Mozz71]

So not only was this kid only 15, a mob formed outside the church and attacked the police? Jesus wept.
