Mass knife wielding in UK kills 7 year old

Any exposure of humans intent on mass killing other humans is most definitely my intent. That said, I hope to God there is not a mentality of, “Well, at least it was a knife and not a gun”.

It's international news, top banner news on BBC at one point. You don't need to explain yourself to people looking for boogeymen in the shadow.

I posted it too because it is news and a reminder that society is losing it. Attacking kids, and I'm not sure anyone tried to stop him (if the opportunity was available).
 
Sad, 2 kids died. It was a Taylor Swift themed event.

Was sicko would do this? We are losing society to cowardice. At least the adults tried to protect the kids, but this just angers me but also makes my heart bleed. The surviving kids will be scarred literally and figuratively for life.

UK stabbing spree leaves 2 kids dead, 9 others injured at Taylor Swift-themed event: 'Deeply shocking'


Two children have died and nine others have been injured Monday in the United Kingdom after a 17-year-old carried out a stabbing spree at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class for young children, police say.

Merseyside Police Chief Constable Serena Kennedy said six of the children injured in the attack that happened around noon in Southport -- a town north of Liverpool -- are in critical condition, while two adults have been critically injured as well.

"It is understood that the children were attending a Taylor Swift event at a dance school when the offender, armed with a knife, walked into the premises and started to attack inside," Kennedy said. "We believe that the adults who were injured were bravely trying to protect the children who are being attacked."

The suspect, a 17-year-old from Banks, a village outside of Southport, has been taken into custody and is now facing charges of murder and attempted murder, according to police.
 
Wouldn't you know it?

If this is confirmed that this is horrific and the idea of mass asylum seeking has to be put to rest. Actually, mass asylum seeking seems extraordinarily artificial. Thousands of people claim they have been tortured, abused etc. by government and they all meet up and take a boat or a truck to another countries border? Doesn't make sense.

Your information also conflicts with the details I have read as it says the attacker was born in Cardiff which is in Wales.

"Channel 3 named the suspect as Ali-Al-Shakati, an asylum-seeker who arrived in the UK by boat last year. He was reportedly “on the MI6 watch list and known to Liverpool mental health services.”

However, updated reports from police say the attacker was born in Cardiff"

early days of the investigation.....we'll have to wait and see


 
The result is also very different. If it were a gun a lot more people would have died and been injured.
The instrument doesn't determine the number of casualties, only the determination of the killer.
1. Nice, France: 86 people killed and 434 people injured. The cause, a man with a "truck" determined to kill as many people as possible.
2. Japan: 19 people killed and 26 injured in a knife attack by a single person, again, determined to kill as many people as possible.
3. Japan: 33 people killed and 36 injured. The cause, an arsonist with an accelerant.
4. Oklahoma City, Oklahoma: 168 people killed and several hundred injured. Instrument used: A rental truck loaded with fertilizer and an improvised explosive.
5. 9/11 terrorist attack: 2,977 people murdered by 19 individuals determined to kill as many people as they could. No guns involved, only box cutters.
It's not the instrument, but the person's determination and mentality. There will always be sick individuals determined to kill people. Banning guns, knives, motor vehicles, accelerants and fertilizer won't stop any of them.
Just be vigilant, pay attention to your surrounding and if you see something disturbing, inform law enforcement.

Hmm...., Was the perp using a fully automatic knife to kill and injure so many?
BTW,, you do know that Britain not only regulates guns they regulate knives.


The stabbings are dreadful. We should have capital punishment.

Thank goodness it wasn't America, 20, 30, 40 or more would have been shot and killed. And yes, knives are regulated too, that's why we have 0.08 deaths per 100,000 population and the US has 0.6 per 100,000 population.

Now that Europe, UK included, has immigrated literally millions of Muslims, expect the death toll of Europeans to dramatically increase.

I read an article in the news, blimey, probably 8 to 10 years ago that some 70% of the crime stats was from immigrants, and most of that was between immigrants themselves.

Probably like the US with all the dregs filtering up from South America.

I think the UK and the US each have about 4 million Muslims.

You cannot stop mentally disturbed people from killing. If you take away the guns, knives down to kitchen variety size, they'll use cluns and shards of glass to accomplish their goals.

And guns in the UK haven't been taken away. They just have sensible laws and regulations. If you're of sound mind and suitable with a gun, own as many as you want, you just need to go through meaningful background checks, probably why American gun nuts are frightened of UK gun laws, they would fail from the start.

A large crowd has assembled outside a mosque in Southport. Whatever that means.
 


I initially thought he was a white male when police ruled out terrorism but that was not the case. The suspect was born in Cardiff, while their parents migrated from Rwanda that is known for the Rwandan genocide of 1994. This Rwandan teen probably hated white culture represented by Taylor Swift who said she was "at a complete loss for how to ever convey [her] sympathies to these families".

The BBC understands the teenager, who cannot be named for legal reasons, moved to the Southport area in 2013. His parents are from Rwanda and he has an older brother also born in Cardiff.

 
the killer was born in Wales, his parents are from Rwanda

in case it may matter
