How fast they went from blaming the ‘boats' to just outright racism against Black people. I’m now genuinely done on this site.

Don't you think all mass murder or, in this case, mass attempted murder, of innocent people in a public place should be deemed as terrorist. What has colour got to do with it?

Do you really for one iota think the right minded public wouldn't be so appalled and outraged had these attacks been carried out by a white man?

So the 35-year old black man described as British born of Caribbean descent has been released. He was wrongly arrested.

Even that description is highly problematic (I know it’s not yours). What relevance is it where his grandparents may have come from.

So tiring.

I think that was to try to reduce the hysteria that was building around blaming immigrants and asylum seekers. The police don’t normally go into detail on race and nationality once they have people in custody.

I think it was to head off attacks on asylum seeker hotels or mosques.

They could have just said he was British. They instead decided to “other” him.

@TheShyPeachKoalaThe definition o f terrorism is the use or threat of violence to advance political, religious, or ideological goals by creating fear and intimidating the public or a section of the public - not someone with mental health issues loosing it and hurting lots of people.
