    Sure they’ll say that this terrorist was mentally ill as well, or that he struggled to get a job and snapped

    I don't want to lump Islam in with multiculturalism as it doesn't seem fair to the other cultures integrating peacefully into our society.

    Rather surprisingly, haven't see the term 'mental health' issue been used for this incident, you're actually the first as of yet. For this chap who was already very heavily weaponised and on a high-level watchlist.
    I didn't go for mental health on this one, because that would be downplaying the fact that he's a known violent man with previous convictions for violence and was a suspect in a murder before tonight.

    Hence "psychopath".

    Like I say, none of these incidents have anything to do with immigration policy anyway. It's a bit sad that you would be gleeful at the misdirection of anger towards immigration, when you seem fully aware that even if France closed all the borders tomorrow, these attacks wouldn't stop. It's almost like you don't care about the actual incident itself, so long as the outrage fuels your particular agenda...


    Ultimately it's all down to historical racism and internal issues. There's a reason why most of the countries who've seen these attacks have a history of colonisation and slavery, particularly in Africa and the Middle East. And countries without such a legacy, like Ireland, don't see these kinds of attacks.

    That was a very quick diagnosis, are you a mental health expert?

    Was there no other ideology, political, religious, or socially radicalised belief structure that could have caused it?

    Guess going forward based on your twisted agenda, we can simply class anyone who causes 'crime upon the person' as a psychopath. Even before there is a proper assesment, nevermind capture. Ergo reduced sentences for everyone.

    Please respect the victims before making an early assesment as the actual cause and nature for this terrible incident, just to benefit your own means.

    I have said it before and I will say it again...
    The innocent people murdered tonight did not colonise or enslave or invade anyone.

    And calling regular people racists when they are asking questions just pushes regular people to the right,
    I called Brexit and Trump months previous to the elections , and will probably put money on Le Penn after this.

    Your logic is these terrorists are already here killing us, we might might as well invite their friends along too?

    How many countries did Sweden colonise?

    Ok, you clearly either didn't read or didn't understand my post. None of your responses have addressed what I actually said, so let's leave it at that.

    We won't feed the sea lion.

    Time to look at Islam and see why it's fostering extremism with brutal atrocities - It's a big religion with many strands but the middle ages version that's taking hold in recent years needs to be outlawed in western democracy there is no place for these views.

    Awful tragedy for these people and their families.

    Aylan Kurdi's image was plastered all over the media because it suited a particular agenda.

    It's hard not to conclude that images of Western terror victims are pixellated (or altogether suppressed) because it also suits a particular agenda.

    To be fair a warning(if it really had to be posted) could have been provided with a link with a heads up to what it was. I doubt her parents want that picture to be seen willy nilly to prove a point on a message boards.
