Another Knife Attack in Paris.

    So another nutter with a knife has killed one person and left several injured.
    Police were quick on the scene and shot and killed the attacker.
    It does say that he was on the ground having a "cardiac arrest". Maybe they should have taken him alive to get some information from him.

    Paris police have launched a terror investigation after one person died and four others were injured by a knifeman Islamic State has claimed is one of its soldiers.
    A judicial source said authorities were looking into whether the anti-terrorism prosecutor's office should be handling the case

    I'm sure it won't take long to find out some background as to whether it was terror related, or just some screwball with a knife that went over the edge.

    Edit: Headline changed after latest update from Paris.

    No thanks. I'll wait on the news. What's the point of more of the same old speculation?

    It's racist to speculate.

    Please remain inside until the appropriate sources have released appropriate snippets of information.

    There's a knife attack every other night in London.

    They are making silage in Paris County tomorrow.

    I could shoot a pigeon tomorrow and Islamic state would claim responsibility.

    It could have been 3 koala bears stacked on top of each other and dressed in human clothes.

    Now isn't this much nicer than any useless speculation?



    On a more serious note, as someone with some more conservative views on issues related to migration and migrant communities, I really don't see how hard it is for people just to wait a while for the facts to come out rather than either; A. Jumping on the bandwagon of blaming the usual suspects or B. in the event it turns out not to be the usual suspects, reporting this with a weird kind of glee that just seems quite at odd with the events themselves.

    Well, the so called 'So Called Islamic State' have claimed this one. Only after the attacker was confirmed dead and there were rumors of someone shouting something in the area at the time

    Seems like he was Chechen: so probably both Muslim and White.

    Someone started this thread as Paris is on high alert and we all know before being confirmed that it was a Muslim attack so it's bigger news than just a London knacker stabbing another London knacker.

    Why? Both death by knife crime- some more equal than others?

    One being a terrorist attack, the other being a normal knife attack.

    You really don't see the difference?

    Both are knife crimes, but the majority of the London knife attacks this year are gang related.

    So this guy goes into town and shouts out "God is great" while sticking a knife in someone he's never met before? It's so monumentally retarded. Nice that he got shot though.

    This has not a lot to do with immigration but everything to do with extremism. The perpetrator has spent almost all of his life in Paris and yet still felt some drawing to an extremist ideology? Why? I don’t know, poverty perhaps.

    Elsewhere overnight in Indonesia IS carried out suicide bonbings at churches and injured dozens.

    The mental gymnastics you'd go through just to be able to shout racist at someone is almost impressive

    what if it was a hate crime, where would it rank between gang crime and terrorism?

    Hatred is usually the motive for either one, both can be described as hate crimes.

    Interesting that the French Eurovision song was about and praising Imimgrants then one launches an attack. Hmm...
