Things like this happen sometimes, guys. It's just another part of life now-- no need for hysteria.
Sometimes? There are more attacks now then I ever could remember. Less complicated and often less deadly, but more frequent. And we all know who keeps committing them and why they're doing it.

Just keep this civilized, guys (adressed to no one in particular)

If that post came across aggressive, the error was in the syntax-there was no hint of anger in that post, but rather bemusement.

Just trying to avoid this becoming a flame war Tongue

Can we wait for actual facts before we say anything, unlike what the media are doing.

I've just deleted a post by an usual culprit doing exactly that. No infraction.

We talk about sh**t without the facts all the freaking time, why is this time any more in need of moderation than the thousands of other times people talked out of their ass?

Such threads tend to descent into a s**tstorm quite soon.

Calling things like this single incident of murder and assault in London a "terror attack" reeks of Newspeak, or at the very least bad journalism and a stunted public mind. A violent criminal dead-ender, partly motivated by religious zealotry going on a rampage (with his car and a knife) is an awful violent crime, but it's hardly "terrorism" except by a definition so broad that it robs all meaning from the word.

But he's brown you see...
