Thankfully, we'll get more straight answers from the UK press over this, they seemed to have assessed this person as a risk, hence him being refused entry/right to stay in England. Trending on BBC News. This will be politicised by them.. and over here, for entirely different reasons, by left/right.

The study used figures from the northern state of Lower Saxony to examine the impact of refugee arrivals on crime in 2015 and 2016, a period when the number of violent crimes reported increased by 10.4 percent. The authors concluded that 92 percent of the additional crimes recorded could be attributed to the increase in refugee numbers."

Young men are the likeliest demographic to commit crimes all over the world. If you had imported a large number of young men from anywhere in the world I would assume the crime levels in the area would increase a bit, given the demographic, not where the migrants are from

The problem is leftists and social justice agitators who are the problem, I don't blame the wolf I blame the man who opened the gate and let him into the pen. The true enemy in within first of all.

The Syrian angle was taken away early and now the terrorism angle is looking less likely. As sad as this particular event is, it looks like just another 'random and unprovoked' attack on our streets. R.I.P. to the victim.
