A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a us citizen was killed and five other people were injured in a knife attack in central london.

They don't know if it was terrorism and they said he was of somali origin, they are investigating.

Mental health problems apparently. Such sad occurrence. For the victims family, and the teenagers relatives too.

This forum will clearly open up a can of worms.

How about the saying ' one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter'.

It was from memory Pipe Urban in the 11th Century who issued a decree that promised if you go to the Holy Land and kill Muslims you will go straight to heaven.

So arguably the first terrorists are what are commonly referred to as Crusaders.

Or was that Randy Crawfords backing group?

"How come every time an act terrorism is carried out they tell it's someone with mental health issue's."

Because there is a substantive difference in an attack, planned and carried out over distance by so-called Islamic State that could be monitored, intercepted and neutralised.

...and it is quite another thing that another disaffected madman has run up their flag and committed some act in their name. These have always occurred, whatever colour flag the madman hoists, from time immemorial. They are also a lot less easy to predict.

Not sure, but why is this covered so much and the mayor comes home? They say this could be ended differently.

There's probably been a few stabbings across the country in the last 24hrs or week or month. For some reason only certain ones make the national news. I can only assume for sensationalism, propaganda, agenda/bias reasons.

When terrorism was mentioned from the outset in relation to Russell Sq it said much. A fair press release of information wouldn't mention anything other than summarised fact about what they know.

how many of the 9000 resulted in fatalities?

This sounds as if it was an unprovoked attack rather than gang warfare so that might be why the Mayor came back.

Also, this happened on the day that they police chief announced putting more police (i believe armed but dont quote me) on the streets to help make people feel safer.

"The number of fatal stabbings in London in 2015 reached a tragic total of 15. So far in 2016 there have been 20 deaths from stabbing in the capital.

The teenage victims in 2015 were all male, most were from black and minority ethnic (BME) backgrounds and many were just 17 or 18 years old. A boy of 15 and a 16-year-old are also among those whose lives were taken last year.

The Metropolitan Police estimate as many as 9,000 stabbings per annum in London."

Sad fact is that people with certain mental illness conditions will see acts of terrorism and want to copy it, same as serial killers get fans and copy cat killings.

To establish motive will require time, and the 24 hour live news world will make guesses until real motive is found.

That's more in exasperation than anything else.

I know from experience as I have worked with foreign MH clients - from the pathologist from Harare who went a bit funny in the head, to Ukrainian psychotics to Albanian men with severe learning difficulties.

These people walk among us every day.

We only take notice of them when kill in someone else's name.

Indeed.

Plus the huge erosion of mental health services mean a lot of people aren't getting the care and support they need.

Many people who wouldn't be remotely dangerous with the right care are being left to fend for themselves. It's not surprising that some of them snap. It's really not their fault.

I have mental health issues. The only person I am a danger to is myself.

It's 2016, not 1816.

Stigmatising all people with mental health issues is very uncool.

One in four, or one in three, depending on whose statistics you take, people will suffer from mental health problems at some point in their lives. Very few will be a danger to anyone else.

Further, since mental ill health can develop at any time, regardless of background or history, preventing those people from entering the country would be impossible, as well as highly descriminatory.

I can't believe in this day and age anyone would even suggest it.

He's said to be of Somali origin so I'm guessing he's black

Personally I don't see how his colour matters a killer is a killer, would the crime have been any less had he been white British?

I would guess that too but won't assume.

No, to me the crime is equally bad.

Colour was mentioned though because Miss_tress was saying when a white person does something violent like this, the default line is often mental health problems, whereas when a black person is the perpetrator, the first things mentioned are likely terrorism, gangs, drugs etc rather than mental ill health.

It was a general comment, not specific to this case.

So when your relative is denied a cataract operation or life saving cancer drugs because the resources have been swallowed up by Norwegian health tourists. Or your relative gets knifed by someone who should be safely locked away in a Norwegian institution I wont mention it then.

as speculation is leading facts by a long way on this case,

I am going to throw into the mix that the perpetrator has a lot of money in savings and the cut in interest rates triggered depression and an attempt at suicide by cop.

all probably bullshit, but so are many other comments on this ongoing investigation.

We're a rather messy species. Any excuse.

Messy in itself is not necessarily a bad thing. There's good messy and bad messy.

Evolution rather than revolution is the way forwards, based on history, I'd say "

I'd say if we're going to be messy anyway, a large paddling pool of chocolate mousse would be a good start.

"I suppose it begs the question.

Why is a 19 year old Norwegian of Somali origin with mental health issues walking the streets of London?

Why shouldn't he be?

Foreigners and people with mental health issues walk the streets of London and every other city every day

That they bloody well do :/

And why shouldn't they?

So you think it is right that anyone from anywhere with MH problems should be allowed into the country?

Not only are they dangerous but are taking valuable NHS resources. "

Ofcourse they should be. Just as foreigner with Tuberculosis should be allowed to walk about freely anywhere in Europe. It is their right under the European Hum ........... oh

"He and his family have lived in the UK since 2002...."

An actual fact emerges into the debate, so does the prospect that this Norwegian man has lived in the UK since he was 5 years old change any of the health tourist / immigrant rants above?

"How come every time an act terrorism is carried out they tell it's someone with mental health issue's.

I think you'll find that's not true. Mental health problems is the default setting if the perpetrator is white.

Exactly this

So, like I said, what is the colour of the perpetrator's skin in this case?

It's sometimes this, but not always."

I think the point being made is when it's not a caucasian it's related to BLM or more frequently terrorism, when it is, the term 'lone wolf' or mental health comes into the fray. Sexual attacks across Europe are often attached to immigrants and Muslims rightly or wrongly are associated to grooming in the UK yet there is usually a non Arab involved in such incidents but propaganda won't allow these points to be highlighted. Essentially skin colour has nothing to do with it but without fair reporting, the media make it a colour thing.

"I'm impressed with how quickly Scotland Yard were able to diagnose him with "mental problems". The NHS usually takes months to come to that decision, but our wonderful police were able to do it in seconds. Amazing, Holmes "

or quite simply that he was on the pnc, due to previous issue's..

technology huh..

Yes, I realise that but in this case where mental health was mentioned before skin colour, the theory falls down, so it's not always true. Often, certainly, but not always.

The media haven't, as far as I've seen, made this a colour thing so far. Terrorism was also publicly ruled out very early on.

I think we're on the same page as I fully agree with your views on this but as a man who is always on the lookout for racism I see the latent racist sentiments deployed and the people who use this as a means to justify their misinformed opinions.

Originally I just requoted what someone else said if I remember correctly.

And said "exactly this", which is what I was responding to.

I totally agree that how these things are handled is usually very, very racist.

The automatic assumption that any violent act by a non-white person is terrorism/gang/criminal/drug related annoys the shit out of me.

Often but we don't know the skin colour of the perpetrator in this case yet, do we?

He's said to be of Somali origin so I'm guessing he's black

Personally I don't see how his colour matters a killer is a killer, would the crime have been any less had he been white British?"

After the break...#more speculation
