Edinburgh Stabbing Incident (Thread bans in OP)

crickets from the usual suspects

He has Mental Health issues I believe

Yes.

Awfully quiet..... strange that...just posting this to Check the thread isn't locked.

Edit..Not locked, bat signal must be broken....or perhaps there's another reason.

Nobody died in Belfast last week and people were burned out of their homes just because they were immigrants.

Yep, and crickets from the usual suspects who made excuses for them in this case.

Common denominator in all of this is men. So let’s have a conversation about violent men and target them and burn them out of their homes.

Not by me.

Another far-right lunatic who thinks they are protecting people by attacking random non-white people. Where are these fcukwits radicalised?

You're probably not entirely wrong, even if you're being dishonest in an attempt to bait 'sides' against each other.

I'd say he does indeed have some sort of mental health issues or got radicalised and snapped, I do genuinely feel sorry for people like this.

Anyone who attacks innocent people is not right in the head

The point is that the conversation around when an immigrant commits an attack like this is that all immigrants are targetted with the same brush.

There have been conversations on this board before we even knew about this attack about how that differs wildly to when a 'local' or whatever carries out this attack.

The same attitude will be if this turned out to be an Eastern European man. The bad-faith actors will all come out of the woodwork and blame immigration again. Get them all out etc etc.

As I have pointed out numerous times - the common denominator in the vast majority of these attacks is men. Men of different races, ethnicities, religions and nationalities. However, for many on here, it would be unacceptable to raise that because 'not all men'.

Yet, when an immigrant does it, it's always all immigrants. They're the ones targetted, they're the ones burned out of their homes and you will have people here making excuses for that.

I'll be waiting with bated breath for PM Keir Starmer to convene a COBRA meeting and come out with a press conference decrying the rising Islamophobia in the UK. 🙄 🙄 🙄 🙄 🙄

It always seems much more acceptable to even mention the possible factor of mental health when it's not an immigrant, though. If you dared mention it with someone like the Parnell St. attacker, you'd be told where to go.
