Now 3 kids dead 😓

I agree that there likely are mental health issues at play here but 3 kids dead and a number of people critical in hospital is horrific

It would be good finding out why he did this horrific act, but kinda wish he'd resisted arrest from the armed police.

The individual bears the responsibility but the cuts lower the ability to stop it. 

I red dotted your point because I disagreed with you, so you went looking on the Clyde thread to pay me back with one.

You utter sad act.

Mental health can be taken on a huge spectrum, from mild depression and anxiety to full blown psychosis.

The truth is that most of the mass killings that have taken place in the UK have not been as a result of people who are in psychosis, that is people who have delusional beliefs, who think that everyone they are killing is a demon or something like that.

If you look at the Wikipedia page on the subject of mass shootings, which is defined as more than four victims - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mass_shootings_in_the_United_Kingdom

Of the ten mass shooting events in the 2020s, eight were organised crime/gang violence, one was a random attack/mass shooting (Plymouth murders) and one was a family annihilation killing.

Of the ten mass shootings listed for the 2010s, against work out as eight organised crime/gang violence, one random mass shooting (Cumbria shootings) and one family annihilation.

The 2000s have twelve mass shootings listed, six organised crime/gang events, three paramilitary shootings in Northern Ireland and three family annihilations.

Caveats are that this is an incomplete list, that it refers to shootings rather than stabbings etc but none of these people were, as far as we know, truly deranged.

The boy arrested born in the UK but the fact his parents are from Rwanda (of all places) will no doubt fuel a racial pile on.

His parents being from Rwanda might actually, you know, be a factor in all this though? 

There's clearly an issue in this country with immigrants who've come from wherever ending up in small communities here with no intention to integrate with the wider community. 

The likes of Tommy Robinson and the gimps that hang onto his every word are mostly just brain dead racist morons - but there's an awkward conversation in the middle that needs to be had.

Why do you ‘kinda wish he’d resisted arrest’?

Why not just answer the question?

Why ask when it's obvious.

Just come out and say what you're waiting to say and stop going round the houses.

Both BBC and ITV saying there was no element of a lack of "integration" as you put it, backed up by the families neighbours. A (outwardly) normal family who were a part of the local community. The "brain dead racist morons" are pretty much the ones peddling the rhetoric in this case as they do every single time something like this happens (thankfully rarely)

Sorry, for a minute I thought you were talking about British immigrants expats in Spain.
