No, he's not a suspect, he's still in prison. For good reasons. But you should really check your sources better.

Indeed. I was surprised that a name was given anywhere considering the Counter Terrorism Unit had only just started their investigations.

I'm centre right with a strong belief in not jumping to conclusions. Yes, he was a radical muslim, but there was every possibility that he was a completely different type of arsehole. Right now, the UK is riddled with hatred and division, so this could have been from any disaffected group - the Irish troubles are still simmering away and the whole Brexit thing could cause that to rise up again. My philosophy is simple - if you're a decent human being, I couldn't give a shit what nationality/religion you are. If you're a murderous arsehole, that's when I have a problem. But murderous arseholes can come from anywhere. So, to get back to your original question, I guess you were asking why I defend "them" - the answer is, I don't defend "them" when your definition is radical muslims. I do, however, defend muslims when they have nothing to do with atrocities, and actively condemn them. However, this is where people's views get a touch hypocritical, and that really annoys me. As an example, you have people who, on the one hand approve of a ban on muslims entering a country from certain states but who, on the other hand, was happy to be connected to the IRA, and who said about the death of Martin McGuinness "Martin McGuinness was a warrior for Ireland & for peace. He was a man of absolute integrity. Im proud to say Martin McGuinness was my friend". For clarification, if you aren't aware, McGuinness was convicted and imprisoned for his involvement with a vehicle containing 250lbs of explosive and several thousand rounds of ammunition. To the people of Great Britain, McGuinness was a terrorist. That is what I have a problem with - when terrorism isn't treated equally. BTW - The person I was referring to in the paragraph above is Republican Representative Peter King[^].

Alas, I'm not surprised at all. We're living in a time when people are regurgitating bullshit without a single thought. Myself, I blame twitter and facebook. It was obvious to me that it was false, for the same reason as you stated.

I've seen no indication about anything about the attacker other that he appeared to be of Asian origin. You must have closer links to the security services than the rest of us; or you are just blindly speculating.

I wasn't going on just the official news sites. I was going from social media sources where the coverage was a lot more raw and plentiful. Besides it wasn't much of a leap of faith to work out who was responsible. Looks like a duck, sounds like a duck etc. There were also reports of a white accomplice. Not sure if that's been confirmed.

Ah yes. Social Media because that's where the responsible news happens. And cat memes. Mustn't forget the cat memes.

Up to two minutes ago, Joe Punter still doesn't know who's responsible. It's speculation and assumptions.

Maybe, and I realised at the time of posting I might end up with egg on my face. But I think we both know I'm more than likely right. There's two types of "humans" that kill innocent people randomly in this manner. Radicals and nutters. And a nutter probably wouldn't choose the heart of democracy. The location has enough symbolism to tell you what motivated this.

That makes it perfectly alright then. The Muslim community is very close-knit, it will be interesting to learn why none of his community offered their concerns to the authorities in the coming days.

Ah, so it's the Catholics behind this. Yup, they've got form on this right enough.

Guessing that's a reference to Guy Fawkes? But isn't that just proving my point? If it was the 17th century then the Catholics would be the main suspects. But it's not. We all know who did it and we all know why. I get your angle. We can't tar everybody with the same brush etc. You also understand mine. That the perpetrator has probably lived in this country for sometime. Maybe even second or third generation. And during that time he and possibly his parents and grandparents has enjoyed the benefits that living in this country brings. And repays that by doing this.

Depends. With nutters like me involved, you never know where a thread will lead.

You obviously didn't get my angle. My angle was that you were leaping to conclusions - and based on the fact that the only information pertaining to the attacker, at the time you posted, was a photo of him, you were leaping to that conclusion or listening to someone who leapt to that conclusion based off his skin colour and the fact he had a beard.

Wasn't really a big jump to be fair. And it's a bit harsh to assume my conclusion was solely on the colour of his skin. There were other factors I used too. Location Modus operandi, i.e. Using a vehicle matches recent attacks. Determination. Being shot. Where he was heading for. And of course at the end of the day I was right.

Until the facts are in, you are just engaging in random speculation and profiling. So far, there has been no confirmation from the security services that he was a muslim. He might be, or he might just be some random nutter.

I missed an opportunity to meet Milligan, years ago, because I was "too busy", and he died just over a year later. I've never stopped cursing myself, for that.
