    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.

    getting loads of replies too(not from me)

    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.

    Out in force? There was one. And they weren't making any excuses. They were more focused on things being said on the internet than the incident, but they're not wrong about some people also being more focused on saying "religion of peace" etc than on the incident.
    I'm confused, where's all the liberal terrorist apologists to call everyone racist?
    Out in force, according to the above.

    Kinda weird and in bad taste to cite actual incidents and then go from that to saying people are being hysterical.

    I’m an open borders skeptic but I tend to be wary of anti Islamic sentiment at these times, as I have many good Muslim friends. However the Syria refugee intake was far too large and we should try and integrate what we have already.

    As well as being an immigration skeptic I’m very much anti US imperialism. It boils my piss that the US allies with Saudi and destabilises the region (along with their UK poodles) to little effect there, and disasterous effect here in Europe.

    Considering the video of macron reprimanding a young French kid for calling him "mac" or so.e such thing it's pretty sickening to see that photo, Did he reprimand that.guy for flipping the bird, Did he ****.
