OmiyaHearts Posted June 26 (edited) I'm going to stick my neck out and say it's not a terrorist attack. It happened in a hostel for homeless people. My wife works less than 100m from the incident. Central has closed it's gates and most roads within half mile are closed off. *edit* Wife has been told to close the shop until further notice...

Cruyff Posted June 26 There was a stabbing, a rape and a hammer attack in Glasgow yesterday. It's a shame to say it but with it happening in Glasgow it could be anything tbf, not necessarily terror related. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Junkies and homeless taken over the place and been making peoples lives hell. Last week, staff in Central Station told me to avoid Hope Street due to mass muggings. Groups of homeless just swarming on people and taking everything. On Tuesday there was a stabbing outside Nero at St Enoch as well. It's been mental the last few weeks.

Sooperstar Posted June 26 One of the victims was a black man and another a man who appears to be Asian. Assume the 3rd is the police officer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be honest I’m not happy with it myself but we really need to clamp down right across the UK with much stricter actions by the police.

It was aimed at me, we had a discussion on another topic about my thoughts that if possible these attackers should be arrested. Most of the others think they should just be shot and killed, I tried to make the point that it’s 2020 not the Wild West or a Hollywood movie. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The alternative is the police being the judge, jury and executioner. It's not something I'm comfortable with either, as I don't believe in the death penalty, but I know many are and do. You'd surely think a squad of big strong guys armed with automatic weapons could capture someone with a knife in a non-lethal fashion. The easy answer is don't go about stabbing people, and that's hard to argue with I guess at face value. Watching it on BBC news now, awful stuff.

Yeah we had the discussion about shooting to incapacitate attackers, I don’t think they’re trained to shoot to kill. Easy for me to say though, it will all be forensically investigated. Horrific for all concerned. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don’t disagree that an arrest would be ‘better’ but given in these situations you’ve generally got a brainwashed nut job who will happily die trying to take someone else with him being ‘big’ or ‘strong’ isn’t that important. If there’s even a 20% chance the officer get knifed then taking the shot is the only logical option. Police officers have families too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
