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

    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.

                  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.

                      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.

                                        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.

                                        No, there's only one: nutters*. There might be different types of nutters, who claim allegiance to different ideologies, and declare those ideologies to be the reason for their actions. But that doesn't change the fact that they're all nutters, and the real reason behind their actions that they're nuttier than a squirrel turd. * Not actually the word I'm thinking, but it'll do for now.

                                          Yes but one type just goes crazy. The other type has it's craziness manipulated in order to serve a goal.
