CuntsToday was the 1 year anniversary of the murder of Jo Cox - which was a politically motivated killing, it was a terrorist attack on her and her community.
The right wing fuck who killed her? - "Oh, he had obvious mental issues"
What is this nutjob chatting. "Send in the SAS".

They'll be ghosts if (when) it's officially labeled a terrorist attack against Muslims.
Yes, lets jump to conclusions and brand him as terrorist before we know fuck happened.

Given the culprit was apparently caught quickly, it'll likely be safe, just may also have a noticeable bump in police presence at points.

Seemed genuinely unhinged.
They're really trying to ignore the mosque angle, keep mentioning the stabbing attack too.
A guy talking about how London is "under attack" and there are "no go zones" that we need to "send in the SAS to clear them out". Not talking about the incident, talking about "Radical Islamic Terrorists." Pathetic.
Indeed.
man hope everyone is safe thereAmazing:
Didier is the hero we need.
Edit: He told Daily Mirror to fuck off too: https://twitter.com/Known_As_H/status/876610598884306944
Unless you're the guy that did this, you'll be fine.
Might have been drunk, might have been an accident, might have been racist, might have been a racist drunk accident, might have been a deliberate terrorist attack that he needed to get drunk for. We don't know.

It's not newsworthy anymore since we know a mosque was targeted.

Truly awful news, this month is a nightmare.
Also fuck the people saying "eye for an eye" on twitter.
Also fuck the people saying "eye for an eye" on twitter.
or a spur of the moment 'revenge' attack. Idiot just saw some brown people outside a mosque and thought he'd do this.

I'm sorry, kinda emotional right now, fucking fuming. I've edited in a more neutral stance.
Edit: And since it's now being treated as a terrorist attack, I've gladly re-edited it into terrorist again.
BBC and sky don't report until they have the facts. Atm they are just saying it's a major incident
Cricket is more important atm. Smh, put someone in the studio and inform the people

It was a white dude. Not a scary brown person.
They've so far just reported on the police statments. Sky had an interview with a local and a spent some time on it.
Fox is going back to "no go zones" again.

Be careful out there
Doesn't mean it can't be deliberate though.
But as is always the case, it's better to wait until the facts come out. Hopefully there are no fatalities and people aren't too seriously hurt.

I was thinking of myself and my family.
It was poor comment on my part and I should not have made it. I realize it was wildly insensitive

Or actually they are and are ramping up their coverage. I'm watching sky and when they weren't talking about it it was the grenfall tower.
And they have said they will be live from the mosque next.
That's funny because normally, like most media outlets, they love jumping on terrorist incidents and speculating on every aspect.
That is not what happened with the last few attacks in the UK.
No when a incident like this happens they will say it's a major incident.
The London Bridge stabbings they said a incident until the police confirmed.
Because it's the middle of the night and they can't confirm anything besides a police statement. Sorry that standard journolistic practices don't live up to your need for constant unconfirmed updates every 5 seconds.
Borough Market they randomly had an employee on the bridge and her statement was all they ran for at least an hour.

Dude looks wasted
It isn't GAF's fault that Trump was elected.
This is the world we live in. And considering the anti-Muslim rhetoric that Trump uses, it completely makes sense that his name would come up at some point.

Good to see that GCHQ is putting all that Intel they collect to good use.
Bit easier to say "its terrorism" when 3 dudes drive a van into a crowd and then run around stabbing people.
Literally all we know so far is that a van drove into a crowd outside a mosque and that the driver was detained by those in the area until the police arrived and arrested him.
It probably was a calculated attack. But we don't know.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Holy shit .. I pulled up a live news stream on youtube to watch info .. the first live comment rolling down the page was "Death to Islam" followed shortly by "Death to Christianity"
What the fuck is wrong with youtube commentators ..
