Mungler Posted July 25 Report Share Posted July 25 7 minutes ago, henry d said: Well built or big tummy, semantics when it suits. Hang him high! So, to recap, where are we on the most probable emerging motivation for the attack? Do you still think jilted lover and work based dispute remain on the table? I just wondered what will get used to maintain your distance from the elephant in the room? 😀 Now would be a good time to express a view that it is improper to speculate like everyone in the country is doing right now (and there’s an interesting article on the subject in the DT) but you should appreciate that discussion and speculation is part of real life as well as forum life.

Absolutely, I only wish they could have used the car to run over the attacker before he caused such serious injury to the soldier. 19 minutes ago, henry d said: Hang him high! On a serious note, I agree, I think it's high time this country had a serious conversation about capital punishment and without speculating if this case was, I think a terrorist attack either taking or endangering life would be a good place to start.

Dave-G Posted July 25 Report Share Posted July 25 The authorities don't do themselves or the public any favours by keeping it speculative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big elephant is jumping to conclusions, how about the marvellous slouths of PW and the Nicola Bulley case? If I have to get ridiculous about things at least it gets a discourse going. Some people's are just A-B and no possibility of any other direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted July 25 Report Share Posted July 25 (edited) The "slouths" were useless in the Nicola Bulley case, as most people didn't know what a slouth was. 🙂 On a more serious note, just what makes a British soldier a target for a stabbing? What does it achieve for any individual or cause, other than making people think that they have a screw loose.

Good shot? Posted July 25 Report Share Posted July 25 I would certainly be happy to bet on the outcome being either terrorist or mental health. Not necessarily in that order. Would anyone bet otherwise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nut job with a knife targeted a man in uniform, stabbed him multiple times and was it seems followed home by a member of the public where he was subsequently arrested, that's about as open and shut as a case could be, its just a shame he wasn't shot. The two cases could not be more dissimilar. Like the bloke in Wigan last week stabbing someone on the street, and everywhere else it's happening, arresting these people isn't stopping it, knowing your going to risk the armed police turning up and shooting first should make people think.

The thing is, you've berated people for assuming the most likely reasons for the attack. Yet offered no alternative opinion. Like with anything in life, it's very easy to criticise others opinions, but no so easy to come up with your own answers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
