If we can spend almost 1 billion pounds on pop up hospitals for COVID19 that were mothballed before the paint had dried we can afford to build and house more prisoners.

 

I want concentration camps for folk like this.  Sad reality is he will probably be sent to Butlins holiday camp with added in sports therapists, psychiatrists, nutritionists, home school tutors, councillors and aromatherapists.

 

 

I think you need to refresh your clichés a bit.

Being reported now the boy had serious mental health issues - PTSD and a personality disorder - as well as possible addiction issues. 

 

Makes you wonder what type of people have come to the country and what their thoughts are on three homosexual men sitting in a park?

Presuming they’re actually guilty of course?

 

I don’t know how old you are, but do you remember this advert?

 

 

Yeh, this poor chap in Reading was probably running to save those three guys from a falling piano while he was stabbing them in the neck. 

 

Facetiousness aside, I take your point, but I have no issue with the authorities slotting terrorists in the act if the opportunity to do so presents itself.

After the things some leople have lived through this is understandable.

I'm not sure it's a mitigating factor though. Where do you draw the line?

Exactly, Mandela is seen as both, Che Guevara too, William Wallace also.

They were in their own countries, trying to free its "indigenous" majority  people from oppression by an alien tyrannical minority

Jihad is an attempt to eradicate an "indigenous" majority  people in order to impose an alien oppressive culture by a tyrannical minority

Che Guevara wasn't in his own country though, was he not Argentinian?

Yes but Isis was formed in repose to an invading oppressive alien tyrannical minority looking to bring freedom, to its resources if not its people.

PTSD, un-named other personality disorders and substance abuse issues that this guy has been suffering from makes you wonder why he was released in the first place, and why his monitoring and support wasn't good enough on the outside.

It also makes me wonder why it's being classed as a terror offence. If he was THAT mentally disturbed, surely it's a mental health act issue and not a terror one. He'd not be the first person off their nut to carry out a mass stabbing.

At this point the public don't know enough details about the circumstance of the case or the background of the attacker to make a definitive judgement of motives.

It does appear that this could have been prevented, though.

You don't think it had anyhting to do with targetting homosexuals based on his medieval beliefs then?

And Congo?

The govt there could, rightly see him as a terrorist.

In Congo he was importing himself and his warfare into a non related state.

Not sure.

Not willing to dive into presumption based on his religion or otherwise.

Appears he was ill,  plenty Christians are homophobic too

As the other contries he terrorised in, because he saw South America as one state, I'm sure the countries would've disagreed if given the chance?

Some non religious too sadly (although in my opinion religion drives homophobioa) but it would be amiss to not see that all 3 victims were gay and he was of Islamic faith.

 

Many people have mental issues, myself included but we don't go around committing atrocities.

If the cop that killed George Floyd suffered from depression would that make him the real victim in all of this?

I have no idea. It's tricky as hell and way over my head 😄.

 

I just thought it was worth pointing out, especially after seeing someone push concentration camps as the answer.

On further reflection, it's an even fairer point tbh. It is a mitigating factor, even if quite small, and it's worth pointing out, but drawing that line is impossible right enough. Some of the most hardened criminals we can imagine undoubtedly had huge mental health issues. 

 

Take Trump even - we're almost unanimous in thinking he's a cock but he without question shows clear signs of a personality disorder.

Is there any kind of evidence to suggest that this guy knew that the people he was attacking were gay?

Or did he just randomly target a group of people who just happened to be gay?

Dunno.

I'm sure the police will be in the process of extracting this information as they're removing his fingernails.

An earlier poster indicated that but I still think it was random.

Haven’t seen any links one way to another.

One of the Radio 4 In Our Time podcasts brushed on this issue. I'll see if I can find which one it was.

 

It's a fascinating subject.

He attacked others there in another group, but there's not been any mention of their sexuality. I've seen reports of eyewitnesses saying it was random.

He hasn't lived in Libya for years. I'm not following. Did I miss something?

Nowadays isn't then. Cromwell would be too and a dictator.

Fairly sure there's a sliding scale of mentalness. You being at one end and this guy being at the other.

Its pretty interesting, most folk see crimes like this and think its black and white. My Mrs is training to be a barrister, the amount of information for crimes not in the public domain is insane. Almost every case you see reported ends up not quite as it seems. Its fascinating to hear the internals and how the courts make decisions.

 

Secret Barrister is a decent read if anyone is so inclined. You will end up thinking that the whole justice system is bollocks though, which it is, and not for the reasons you think.

Various authorities are discussing what legislation to use to prosecute this guy.

After every other knife attack the national terror threat was raised.

Not with this one.

The guy has well documented mental health problems and was dismissed as being a jihadi by MI5 twice.

 

The choices are; a criminal prosecution (with possible hate crime if it was found that he deliberately targeted a group of gay people), terrorism prosecution or mental health prosecution.

Agreed on Secret Barrister … an indictment of the British legal system.

 

Whether there are many better places to be tried for a serious offence is another question.
