    Yup. Definitely. It does seem the nationality of the perpetrator is what caused the unrest. We shouldn't really be talking about that though should we. Something truly horrific occurred and it's not getting that much of a mention (the victims, the children, classmates, teachers, families...

    I don't normally. It's the kids thing that has thrown me and has me wondering. It's highly unusual isn't it. Actually, my first thought wasn't that it was maybe a mental health issue, it was that maybe it was an ex partner and her child It's just unusual. That's what has had me take a step...

    I never for one second said "I hope they are alright." It's the stabbing children that makes me wonder. It's a turn of events isn't it. If children are now going to be targeted like this (not talking about the US), it's very, very concerning. Anyway, you are very reactionary, Nick. I am sure...

    As I say, this debate has happened before hasn't it. Most certainly not calling it as a get out clause. He needs locking away. Prison or mental health unit. Whichever way you look at it.

    And the press are often wrong. Happened many a time. If it was a terrorist attack, it's a very worrying new trend feasibly. Most terrorists seem to target adults re stabbings and shootings don't they. Bombs are different of course, but if he was actually targeting children as some sort of...

    Oh, how lovely. 😳 If the copper who killed Sarah Everard had mental health issues, he should have been locked away in a mental hospital instead of a prison. I honestly think the world has gone mad these days. This is not quite the same of course and maybe I am wired differently (the right way...

    And if he was mentally ill and/or had a breakdown etc.? This conversation has been had on here before, but to me there is a difference between a terrorist attack with the aim to kill and maim and someone just flipping. I have seen mental health close up front and what it can do to people. I...

    It's still not the norm though is it. This seems to have happened because they heard the bloke who did it was a refugee/immigrant. How much violence was there re Sarah Everard? Again, genuine question, because I don't know. I just heard there were protests. Did that turn extremely violent?

    I would like to wait for the facts myself. Happy to call him a c*not or whatever then.

    There's violence and mayhem every time a black person dies? Are you talking about the US?

    Dublin (Ireland) Stabbings

    That's not my logic at all. I am asking why they were on the streets. They were angry. What were they angry about? People actually had placards with "I am angry" written on them . The bloke said the vast majority were law-abiding. There seemed to be an awful lot of violence. I am just puzzled...

    Why were they on the streets? Protesting? Protesting against what? There were trouble makers obviously. What were the law-abiding ones on the streets for? Genuine question. I'm not saying everyone was causing trouble, but why were people piling on the streets? The only conclusion surely is...

    But when there's a murder, usually people don't all pile on to the streets do they?

    If that is indeed true, then it really should have been reported.

    Dublin (Ireland) Stabbings

    Thing is there, he says most that came on to the streets were law-abiding citizens, but weren't they only out on the streets because of the story spreading all over social media? Has to be because of what they heard on social media, surely. Hoards of people don't usually go out on the streets...

    Dublin (Ireland) Stabbings

    Part of the problem is that stuff is out on social media before the news in a lot of cases and people can see things for themselves rightly or wrongly before it’s reported. This really puts more emphasis on the media to report things clearly when they do publish it to stop any ambiguity or...

    For all this notion of the BBC not being impartial and left leaning, you might be interested to know that 8 BBC journalists have written a letter complaining about the BBC's pro Israel stance during this current war. As for this stabbing incident, it seems an awful lot of people jumped the gun...

    There does seem to be a lot of imagination on this thread for sure.
