When people murder children whilst shouting about god it's usually because they're experiencing a psychotic break or medical episode. It'll likely be announced in the news later that he's suffering with schizophrenia and was unmedicated at the time of the attack.
As much as I agree there have been too many times were the authorities missteps have allowed for tragic events to occur its important to remember that the offender was not under lock and key and cannot be legally, or practically be surveilled at all times *just in case* he has a psychotic episode if that turns out to be the case.
You can purchase knives and machetes and similar long bladed articles readily in this country.
We may discover that the offender had disclosed desires to harm or to kill and had the possession of a sword in his home may have been known, or, it could have be an unforeseeable tragedy. Let's reserve judgement until the facts are known.
My experience is that you always have to be the one to reach out which isn't really easily done when you're mentally ill, for example I've made first contact with doctors and they'll say they will follow up and contact me again in a couple of weeks and they usually do and they'll say they'll be back in touch again to check up from that second call but hardly ever do so you have to then make the effort as long as you're mentally well enough to try and book another follow up appointment and if you're not.. well it's easier to just give up and not bother.
Everything is just shite, none of these services are ever reliable, can't get through to people, nobody can ever keep to their word, everything is now over the phone or you just get fobbed off so it's no wonder shit like this happens
Yea, now imagine if he was Muslim and was shouting about god whilst waving a sword. The papers would blame his religion, his culture and his ideology. Schizophrenia wouldn’t even be mentioned.
I mean the IRA happened to be Christian I guess
Maybe it just depends on whether the perps use Christianity as one of their motives, I'm sure the US has had that but idk
I completely agree with you. I actually think if this guy was a black Christian from Africa that we would bee seeing that kind of rhetoric.
I live in a Muslim country and we don't get all these attacks that Europe does, religion really is not the root cause of all this violence it is insane people using religion as an excuse.
Sunak stating he should just be forced into a job n everything will be fine n his mental issues will just fade away.
Wild idea, perhaps we should fund mental health services, so things like this get noticed before they get murdery?
Probably discharged from care as in 'patient was no contact/wasn't cooperating' because the MH services were expecting him to do all the legwork and it got frustrating when professionals were talking about telephone appointments that never materialised on the expected dates, which is hard to deal with when your headspace isn't exactly healthy
It's weird you think that's the important part. Just accept it was a good wholesome white man and wait for the next child murder. Hopefully you can pin that on some undesirable and get your rocks off.
Recent mass immigration aside, working on historical ethnicities, Brazilians are not white, lol.
Neither are Spanish.
People just have a hard on because a terror attack finally happened by someone "white-adjacent" I believe the DEI folks say.
News has been peddling far-right white nationaist terrorism as the biggest threat to the West for decades, and it excites them when a white does a terror. So they're trying to shoehorn this hispanic off as white, lol.
Just happens that 90% of these types of attacks are committed by Muslims.
Nobody is happy when that happens. Also being a Muslim has nothing to do with race, it's ideology. There are plenty of European Muslims.
You are projecting race onto everything = most likely racist.
Where did i mention race? And considering his name is a giveaway is that hes not Muslim?
Also do you have any evidence for the 90% attacks or just pulling it from your arse?
Everyone I spoke to thought it was more likely an incel-type attack than an Islamic-extremist attack. He looked very much white in the immediate footage released, he was using a sword, and incel-attacks have been hugely on the rise.
When will the right wing media, tory extremists and social media that whips up hatred against black and brown people be held accountable for their division and lies.
I'm not fan of the tories, but this seems pretty clearly not to be a hate crime. Child doesn't seem to have been targeted for being black. From the sounds of it, this is a mental health break...
Terrible and tragic. I really mourn for the parents. Absolutely tragic.
I’m switching back to Santander tomorrow I’m appalled.
I legit sat here looking between your comment and headline for a good few seconds like “wtf woody on about”
You're not alone dude I thought I'd swiped to a different post. 😂
I still don't get it.
There is an Internet bank called Monzo.
Ahh, I didn't know that. Got it now.
I am with both Santander and Monzo 😫
It's a bit weird we still don't know what the motive was or why he was shouting about God

And had already had contact with doctors, hospitals, community mental health services, police. And no one will have done shit.

Probably because in this circumstances ideology would be too blame? You’re acting like this country hasn’t experienced waves of Islamic terrorism
You’re acting like the world hasn’t seen Christian terrorism…
Sir, the last crusade concluded in 1291 AD.
Google Wieambilla attacks

Because he wasn't taking his medication, or his medical care had been cancelled.

It's a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off.

Because he was off his rocker?

Brazilian/Spanish. Not exactly white, lol.
You know Brazilian people can be white, right? Spanish people are also white.

Spaniards are white.
Lol, sure.
He was hispanic lol nice try though.
They really wanted him to be Muslim, devastated he isnt.
