Didn't read it but must have been bad for a thread nuke.

Hope the injured make a speedy recovery.

Closing and opening new threads on these topics just seems to incite even more hate fuelled posts or trolling

I don't see why if rules are in place those breaking them can't just be suspended right away, someone posts a sweary and it's a 48hr ban, whereas someone continuously trolling or baiting goes unscathed it seems.

As per the other thread; RIP and thoughts for all those that were injured. Has the death actually been attributable to and as a result of the incident?

There's a limited amount of moderators available at any particular time. I personally don't have time to go through all of the posts and action them right now so this is the quickest way to get things into an acceptable state. Discussions are still ongoing regarding the previous thread - it hasn't been deleted, merely hidden from view.

That said, for further discussion about it please post in FCD.

I believe so - 1 dead and 10 injured no?

I believe one person died but i read another report saying he getting medical assistance before the terror attack.

Indeed, he was already receiving first aid and his death may be unrelated to the incident. We shall know soon enough I am sure.

Haven't actually seen it attributed to the attack yet. He was supposed to have been receiving CPR at the time it happened. Not sure how they will determine if it is the fault of the pleb or not though.

Listening to the Iman who helped restrain the driver, on sky news just now the chap that died was being tended to after collapsing on the pavement. He was apparently sat on a chair when he was struck by the van

Lucky he was overpowered by the public before he could do any more damage.

I respect the fact that the mods don't have all day to devote to modding a single thread, but I do worry about the message that's sent by closing that thread, with regards to the leanings of the moderating team, and their attitudes towards more moderate members. Can't help but to feel it occured in the defence of the more wretched right wing commenters (who by rights should have simply been banned).

As per the last thread; this has been a horrifying right wing extremist terrorist attack, and I admire the restraint of the men that held the terrorist until the police arrived. We must do much more (something?!) to tackle the vile right wing narrative of the DM, BNP, UKIP and so on, in an effort to stem the radicalisation of young (and, sadly, older) white males. Shocking series of events

I take your point but please, if you wish to discuss the moderating any further, post in FCD. Thanks
