Lone wolf - or following instructions?

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...e-stabbed.html

ISIS and ISIS supporters have been calling for lone wolf attacks against us, presumably because Islamic activist cells have been getting broken into whereas a committed devout individual is very much harder to spot in advance.

This latest apparently senseless attack, which I'd already being downplayed as not being terrorist related, fits perfectly into what is to be expected from a lone wolf attack.

Just as attacks by the devout observant Islamic terrorists have been dismissed as having been undertaken by those with mental illness in the past (though that has recently been abandoned) how much longer will it before there is an admission that cases such as this are mostly as a result of the ongoing calls to hit us in our homeland?

Houston, the problem we have is getting bigger.

I see no connection or even any mention of Isis in the article .... if anything it says it's not connected to terrorism.
More to do with the increasing wave of knife crime I'd have thought.

I can't really understand what people expected to happen after daeth was beaten, they weren't meekly going to say that's ok then we will behave nicely now. They were bound to spread out to hide in populations and do what murdering monsters normally do, murder as many people as they can.

Common or Garden knife crime usually is based on turf wars or robbery or drugs. Random attacks for no obvious reason are a very different matter.

While the odd lunatic that we now allow to walk our streets are capable of anything the probability that random attacks are as a result of the call to arms by Islamic devout activists is asymptoting towards one especially with the huge increase in such attacks in recent times.

What they do is not murder, at least not for the followers of The Path to the Water.

The blood is on their own heads of those that are put to death.

You could well be right .... I shan't dispute it though I'm reluctant to adopt it as a foregone conclusion but I just have this feeling that had you been around when Jack Ripper was running amok in London you'd probably claim he was a devout Islamic nutter too.

Re: Lone wolf - or following instructions?

In today's paper TM and SJ are 'passing the buck' saying hospitals, social services, schools GPs, Teachers, etc; should tackle this problem.
Why not, for instance, make carrying a knife, carry a sentence of a minimum of five years in jail. Using a knife carry a sentence of life behind bars.
The government could do this tomorrow but of course they won,t do this for it may incur the wrath of our masters in Brussels of 'infringing on Human Rights'

Re: Lone wolf - or following instructions?

I don't think that it is passing the buck this has to be a joint endeavour .
The police can't do it alone.
Schools would be a good start .
Probaby the inner city schools where knife crime is rife .
What wrong with more stop and search ?
Maybe the army could help out as there are not enough police .
This stuff has to be stopped in its tracks .

The dispersal of power needs serious consideration, without the knee jerking.
