Russell Square stabbings: Man arrested on suspicion of murder
- Thread starter Stretch
- Start date
Surely there are forensic psychologists in the Met, or maybe the guy was a known sufferer of mental illness>
Why can't it be both? My opinion* is that most of these jihadis are mentally ill in the first place. When MP Jo Cox was tragically killed earlier in the year, both terrorism and mental illness were discussed, why in this incident is everyone so keen to play down the terrorism element?
I'm not a psychiatrist so my opinion is irrelevant, but since that isn't stopping the Met it's not going to stop me.

Ding! We have a winner!
The single greatest thing about social media is that nothing can be fully swept under the rug any more.
Why are people alluding to it being terrorism, but claiming it's all being swept under the carpet by the media?
You can bet your bottom dollar that the media are working at 500mph trying as hard as they can to pin it on terrorism, because that's what's making them money - why the hell would they want to not report it?
Bearing in mind, where terrorism DOES occur, it's pumped into your eyeballs through any available media for 4 weeks straight.

When the media wont mention names you just know......
It certainly leads me to draw the usual conclusion.

Given they only tasered the person, maybe they have already spoken to him and deduced that he like to fill the dish washer with the blades pointing up?
Yes I would class everyone who orchestrates mass murder, with terrorism (idealogical or otherwise) and the killing of innocents as a goal, as suffering from some form of mental illness. Without any reservation.

So true, is blown all out of proportion and we've had threads, saying things like worst attack attack ever and this is the end and similar stuff.
yet, we actually live in a time that is well down on terrorist attacks.
a bit of perspective is needed for some people in these threads.
anyway rip to the victim and hope the others have a speedy recovery.
I understand what you're saying - and I agree with the way you're saying it, but something about it doesn't seem to add up - I can't explain why, and it's winding me up lol
Hmmn, that is too easy.
There are plenty of examples of mass killings of "Innocents" that were planned and exercised by entirely rational people for entirely logical reasons.#
(There are both older and more recent examples, but for now, I will offer the example of the Atomic Bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and Breivics attempt to destroy the Norwegian Labour Party)
(# Note, Just because I understand the logic doesn't necessarily mean I am endorsing the actions. Just that the reasoning behind them was entirely logical and I understand the reasons why the action was taken)
Some people seem a bit upset that the 'M word' can still be mentioned on the forum.
Unless we see a sudden spate of attacks, like France and Germany, I wouldn't be too concerned, and a mental health issue is a perfectly valid assumption.

Some of the most insane people are outwardly the most rational, with a cast-iron conviction in what they are doing. Most probably have no idea they have mental issues, as with many sociopaths and psychopaths.
That was a very tough decision taken during a world war with the aim of making an entire government/country surrender before countless more lives were lost, it was not terrorism. There IS a difference, however subtle the distinction may be and also taking into account depending on the angle you approach it from.
Hitler blamed an entire religion for his problems too.

No there isn't. People with mental health issues have always ended up murdering people in some proportion. This isn't new. People get sectioned all the time after having tried to attack someone.
What's new is the way it is framed by the media and popular opinion as something greater than it is.
