    Islamic attack in shopping centre, at least 5 people stabbed.

    One suspect arrested so far, one possibly still at large.

    I work in Manchester city centre and just missed this - went down to pick up a parcel from the M&S beside the Arndale at around 12 and wondered why the hell there were so many people and police cars around!

    There's a video doing the rounds on Twitter and on the MEN site where the suspect is captured after being tazed, let's just say the legs look rather pasty.

    Good to hear you are safe.

    Not that his skin pigmentation determines his belief, only in response to your party legs point.

    His face is African, Somali maybe.

    That leg does look pale though.

    That would really excite a load of people around here

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Also live in Manchester, looks like one the local homeless/spice heads you see hanging around Picadilly Gardens. Still don't know why the police allow them there.

    Glad your OK, scary stuff. Hopefully the victims aren't too badly injured, any word on them yet ?

    How can you have a black face and white legs without doing blackface? Is it like a skin condition?

    All eyes on Kursk. Slava Ukraini.

    Skin condition, light shining on the leg etc.

    In this incident he was initially arrested on suspicion of serious assault,
    but has since been 're-arrested' on suspicion of the commission, preparation and instigation of an act of terrorism.

    Last new year's eve a similar attack happened, at the same place, along with the usual shouty type words of 'great praise for a skygod'.
    That incident resulted in Mental Health Act? Even though it was clear it was directed intentionally for a specific cause:

    It must have been a white supremacist because on the front pages of the BBC, Sky News and the Guardian, all you can see is his white leg.

    they've all blurred or obscured his face for some strange reason

    Oh wait, the dreaded Daily Mail have shown his face...this must be why they have a reputation for being racist.

    vitiligo. Though that occurs in patches. They used that to excuse Michael's skin bleaching.

    It’s a fake leg, he stabbed off his real one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,407 ✭✭✭Quantum Erasure


    honestly! What situation could ever need a knife and a pair of fake legs? Only, I would imagine, a completely ludicrous one.

    More chance of him being an iman than a minister but even the radical Iman’s usually send young vulnerable lads out to their death.

    I've just removed a load of posts that were nothing to do with this incident

    @LoughNeagh2017 - please do not post in this thread again

    Any questions, PM me

    Thanks

    A bit spooky, but I was in the Manchester Arena the day before the bombing last year

    My first time back there was 10 days ago to watch Alice Cooper. On the way to the Arena I walked past Market Street just as loads of police cars arrived and armed police swarmed the Arndale. I quickly moved on, past that Next, looking into the Costa, but I'd already had my Mocha for the day. Then exactly a week later all this happens

    Guess these are signs of the paranoia surrounding potential terrorist incidents, with Manchester being considered a prime potential target

    This guy was detained under the Mental Health Act though, so at this stage I think the question of whether this was a terrorist incident is still up in the air

    As mentioned few posts ago:
    Last year's NYE a similar attack happened, at the same place, along with the usual shouty type words of 'great praise for a skygod' etc.

    That incident resulted in Mental Health Act. Even though it was clear it was directed intentionally for a specific cause:
    https://www.manchestereveningnews.co...ester-17071409

    (near bottom of page, 25yo injured several people inc a cop)

    Looks like deja vu. Again a simply a 'mental health' type event.
