'Van hits pedestrians' on London Bridge in 'major incident'

[Trigger Time]

I hope they charge him with attempted murder (not sure if any of the victims died) and hate crime if he targeted Muslims in front of a mosque.

they are saying several dead but it's the news so...
i think the legal term "hate crime" is stupid. Murder is hate enough.
I wonder if he knew or was related to one of the victims of a previous attack. Still not acceptable but I can understand how that could drive someone mad. No sympathy from me though. He targeted the wrong people

It seemed more than likely not an Islamist when the news mentioned that he had been arrested rather than gunned down.
Islamists nearly always prefer to go do in a hale of gunfire instead of being taken alive.

This is so stupid and despicable if this is what this person did.
there are legitimate Muslim terrorist In neighborhoods that daily harass and beat up non Muslims, because they are enforcing shariah law. If you are gonna go after anyone then go get jumped and then defend yourself against a real criminal and terrorists.
While im not against profiling as a law enforcement or military tool, I am against this.

Exactly.

Every time I see someone go out and murder strangers on a rampage like this, I wonder, "If this person just couldn't take it anymore, doesn't that person know some ****heads that really need killing? "

Lashing out against random strangers is an action that only satisfies the blood lust of the attacker.

I'm reading stories that the London van accident (attack) was a mile away from the mosque. Early reports can often be wrong.

Im curious to see if our president tweets something about this.

I'm curious if I care. Oh wait. No I'm not. I don't.

Where's Paul Harvey when you need him.

I'm curious if I care. Oh wait. No I'm not. I don't.

Well, I'm just bring up that he has been traditionally quite vocal when the perps are Islamic extremists, and does so within hours of an event, and yet has been fairly silent (or takes a few days to think about it) when the victims are Muslim. You'd hope he'd have some consistency.

The Today Show seems very upset and concerned with this terrorist attack. They feel that retaliating against Islamist terrorist attacks will cause more Islamist terrorist attacks.

I see no reason to think that anyone who has a side will be consistent. It's just too rare to assume it is the default.

 

[Denny347]

Why wouldn't he?

It really really pisses his enemies off when he tweets. I think he should tweet more, give ya'll more to talk about.

OMG, someone needs to take Twitter away from him. It's absolutely awful.

Nah. It's self desensitizing. After so long you just stop asking which foot he shot.

 

[Expat]

From what I can see, the folks that hate him, hate his twittering. The folks that love him, love his twittering. In my case, I don't really care and find the depth of feeling of the previous two groups mildly amusing.

I thought it was amusing at first. Now I'm leaning towards dangerous.

Officials: 17-year-old Muslim girl assaulted and killed after leaving Virginia mosque

A little fuel for the "right vs left" argument.

A possible hate-crime motivation is among the things authorities are investigating, police said. Detectives think the remains are those of the girl, but the chief medical examiner’s office will confirm the identity and manner of death, Fairfax police spokeswoman Tawny Wright said.

So they haven't identified the remains yet but already deciding on the motive... sounds like some good police work there.

Got to give Reuters points for consistency. The scourge of sentient, murderous vehicles continues.

Didn't you hear Russia put a colluder in the White House so he can be a hot head and go to war against Russia.

Edit: So where we at on this driver?

Syl, you are one of my favorite folk, but please list some love or even like crimes so I can understand your thinking.

Seems to me he is consistant according to your statement. It may not be fair in your opinion but it is consistant.

I drink a cup of coffee every morning, and i drink a galon or more of electrolite water every day. It is not equal, but consistant.

Funny they hardly ever investigate the murder of a white male Christian as a hate crime. Go figgure.
