Of course assumptions and opinions matter, because that is all we have to go on in an absence of information.

There are countless criminal court cases where the defendants refuse to disclose their motive. Then they are convicted on the basis of assumption. Countless sex offenders never disclosed their motives, Ian Huntley for example, Stuart Hazell also. In which case the judges and lawyers rightfully assume what the motive was.

In the case of these latest murders, it may well be that the scumbag 17 year old had a political or ideological agenda but decides, after legal advice, to remain silent. Does that then stop it being terrorism ? Of course it doesn't.

The London Bridge attacker who murdered two Oxford law students before having his melon drilled open by armed police did not leave behind his manifesto. He did not leave a video explaining his reasons for the attack, so we will never truly know his motive. But everybody with an ounce of common sense knows why the Allahu Akbar screaming knifeman chose to kill innocent people that day. Terrorism. And how do we know this? Because we assume and form opinions.


You are cleverly using the conceptual definition of terrorism (which does anchor itself around cause and motive) and applying this to define what an act of terrorism is in general parlance, yet the act and the philosophy are two different things.

You can choose to defend the young murderer all you like, it's your choice. Maybe you identify with him to a degree. Personally, I can't be fucked tippy toeing around the semantics, nomenclature and terminology of it all, I'll just say it like it is.

He fucking terrorized those children and millions of people around the world who now question the safety of their children from repeat attacks like this.

He did this in a manner that is hugely popular with, and instructed to the letter by Islamist terrorist organizations. That makes him a fucking terrorist.

And now the good news - Everybody within the British prison system is baying for his blood, guards and cons alike, and there is a strong suggestion that somebody will get hold of him soon. If he was a free man it would be hard to stay alive, but locked in the big house.. I'll be surprised if he makes it to 20 years old.

Police stations are getting burned down in the UK as I write, hundreds of thousands of people are rioting across the country. They want him dead, and if they all turn up in one place to lynch him there ain't much anyone can do to stop them.

I wonder if this anarchy will solve anything. I think they're pissed about Labour being re-elected too.

typically the government and the BBC are all up in arms about the protests, instead of being up in arms about murderous jihadis in our midst....it's hardly surprising people are pissed off.

And it wouldnt matter which party was in power either, they're all idiots

this is more a mass killing act than a terrorist act.
I haven't heard a motive like some ideology.
In the UK knives are easier to get than fire arms.
otherwiSe ther would be more fatalities.

Protests and rioting in Hanley, Stoke-On-Trent. People protecting the mosque and both sides accuse each other of throwing bricks first.

See, it’s not the weapon, it’s the person that’s behind the weapon .. gun, knife, rock, or stick..it doesn’t matter. If one has a mindset of evil, evil it shall be.. of course, it’s sick, though, true. Bare hands can be a weapon, and they are attached to all of us.

It’s really too bad they don’t just like livestream their suicide and leave everyone else alone, if they want to make an impact .. making a video for us to enjoy, is sure to be better for their selfish, narcissistic need of exposure.
Yeah, they sure are stupid people, mass killers.

Some of you can't see the bigger picture, or maybe it's easier to just virtue signal.

Somebody needs to get a drone up there with auto-release hot dogs in the bomb bay. That'll liven the party up a bit.
