beyond our ken Posted June 3, 2017 Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 I think there is a danger of these incidents becoming weekly events. Not too bad? Hopefully the reports of throat cutting are wide of the mark. We will go on? Undoubtedly, but by the luck of the draw some poor buggers will cash in their chips on a semi regular basis as we do. We really should be both fearful and watchful. This shut ain't going away any time soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not , they have won. I abhor what has happened but if we postpone / defer/ abandon the rule of law and the will of the people we may as well just pull the shutters down, grab ourselves a Mad max style vehicle and batten down the hatches to prepare for a free for all.

Drew Posted June 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 (edited) Its regrettable that they seldom manage to apprehend the perpetrators of these attacks alive. It would be helpful to try and obtain some form of understanding as to what makes them tick. I appreciate that these guys had what appeared to be explosives strapped to them (though they were found to be fake), so the first priority was to bring them down. More importantly just now, though is that our thoughts are with the families of those killed and with the injured.

stlucifer Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 Absolutely disgusting. More innocent people killed by idiots in the name of a distorted view of a peaceful religion. It disturbed when a guy interviewed on the Beeb described the attackers as "Muslims" only by seeing what they looked like. WTF? We, as a nation, must educate all that religion, even that distorted type, is not the colour of someone's skin. My heartfelt sympathies are with all hurt, injured or affected by this atrocity.

faraway saint Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 Tragic again, so soon after Manchester. The response from the emergency services, especially the police, was outstanding. The, not sure what term is suitable for the perpetrators, were killed within 8 minutes of the first call to the police. This, IMO, will have quite an effect on people. Two major incidents so close together will unnerve many people. Unfortunately it, again, feeds the extremists/racists who are already all over Facebook with their simple solutions. Very sad and we all pray there is an end to these attacks for some time as if another was to happen n the next few days it could start to have the effect these lunatics are hoping for.

They can debate as much as they like, does anyone really believe most of it. Besides most people have probably already decided. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly don't dislike Muslim as I work beside many, my workplace even has a prayer room provided for them. All I saying is because of stupid European laws we can't be seen to interfere without being accuse of human rights or back lashes from radicals. A brave young Muslim girl on Question Time the other night spoke out about Saudi backed clerics coming over here and preaching unorthodox subjects.

Sonny Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 These extremists are looking to terror to publicise their cause and we are giving them in in cartloads. Describe them as criminals and not terrorists and do not mention their cause (whatever that cause may be) would lessen their publicity substantially.
