He's also been sharing anti-islamic views on social media. If he was known to the authorities then the victims have have been failed by the German government.

I fully agree about that but I'm not sure that would deter individuals with that frame of mind.

The identity of the Southport terrorist soon came out in the wash, you can't just expect the news to hastily state the name & the origin of said person without confirmation. As for unvetted immigrants, if they pass their application then what else can be done? Perhaps we should toughen them up with more specific criteria but other than that, how can we defend against something down the line that may happen 18 years later like is the case with the German terrorist.

It's not exactly uncontrolled, this man for instance has lived in Germany for nearly 20 years. In the UK you can't just arrive and be accepted without being granted asylum. I'm not sure what can be done if they don't have criminal records or links to terrorism.

Mainstream media have made it pretty clear that this was a terrorist attack, who's trying to cover it up? Ok, but again, i take it you think it would be fair to deport law abiding citizens because of the actions of a very small minority? Would you be happy to deport any Irish living in Britain because the IRA bombed us?

The vast majority of immigrants are not terrorists, that includes Muslims. You just can't deport law abiding citizens because of the actions of a few individuals.

Yeah, that's a start, but what if they are born in that specific country? And what about those that are not known to authorities?

It is no different to what the IRA were doing and are still doing to this day, people are just obsessed with the perpetrators ethnic background. If people can give a solution that doesn't unfairly punish law abiding citizens then I'd be happy to hear it.

No, mentally unstable or not, he should be punished for his actions. It's looking like it was politically motivated, so, how do you suggest we combat that? See above. And what if? How can you combat political or religious terrorists without unfairly targeting law abiding citizens?

No, they are not innocent, they are still murderers, but they mentally unwell or evil, unless you're suggesting that it's normal behaviour?

If that is true then the people killed have been failed, but the point stands, you have to be mentally unstable to plough down dozens of innocent people. I hope the man doesn't see the light of day again, mentally unstable or not.

It wasn't in the UK, and the fact that he was a practising doctor for almost 20 years points towards an atypical attack. As for extreme views, people from all walks of life have them, remember the IRA attacks, what about the Norwegian terrorist a few years back?

Of course he's unstable, by very definition you have to be mentally unstable to carry out such an act. He's been a practicing doctor since 2006, facts like that don't fit the narrative I suppose.

Christopher Ward watches are better quality than Seiko's.

What should we be discussing though, the man is clearly mentally unstable, how can you protect against that?
