    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.

                  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.

                  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.

                                      If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. --Winston Churchill

                                        If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. --Winston Churchill
