mackay 3,711 Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 A vehicle was deliberately driven into a police van on the Champs Elysee, the driver was armed and is believed to be dead. Funny thing is?, I've yet to hear it called a terrorist attack, strange that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The anti-terrorism prosecutor has opened a case so it seems they're treating it like a terrorist incident to me, did you actually read a single news article on the attack before making this thread?

The anti-terrorism prosecutor has opened a case so it seems they're treating it like a terrorist incident to me, did you actually read a single news article on the attack before making this thread? Actually I did, the one where the interior minister Gerard Collomb said the guys motives were not immediately clear. Contrast that with the Finsbury mosque attack where the van hadn't hardly come to a stop and your kind were screaming terror attack. So yes, they might now be saying it is terror related. My point was the fact that they were not so quick to label it so. Strange that eh, wonder if Corbyn will be moved to tears by this attack like he was at Finsbury mosque. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BGD 6,437 Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Why would anyone be moved to tears over an attempted attack in which only the scumbag terrorist was injured? What a silly thing to say. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What a silly thing to say. In both cases a muslim died. I notice you conveniently avoid the point about how Finsbury was readily labelled terrorist whilst it took a while in France to say the same.

BGD 6,437 Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Took a few hours for the police to declare the attack in Finsbury a terrorist attack actually? Same as in France? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It might make his motive clear. Does that automatically make it terrorism?. Perhaps it does, perhaps he is. Myself, I think anyone who runs over a group of muslims outside a mosque then jumps out the vehicle screaming I want to kill all muslims without as much as a bread knife on him has mental health issues. Either that or balls like King Kong. Either way he's not right. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BGD 6,437 Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Having mental health issues doesn't mean they're not also a terrorist, unless you think Michael Adebowale isn't a terrorist because he had a long history of mental illness including paranoid schizophrenia?

The Romanian guy who attacked police outside Paddington with a knife isn't being treated as a terrorist yet, but I would of thought his motives were immediately clear as well although reports of him shouting Allah akbar are yet to be confirmed several witnesses claimed he did it is similar situation to this yet treated differently.
