I think there’s more to this than just a terror attack. The guy is not stupid yet achieved nothing, apart from mowing down some cyclists, and let’s be honest we’ve all wanted to do that. There’s something going on, he’s either been put under pressure by persons unknown, threatened or whatever, but it doesn’t look right.......

agree(?!) its very perculiar
 
You could feel the cognitive dissonance dripping off of the Mail's coverage of it. Black Muslim Terrorist - grr, but the only people he hurt were cyclists who had undoubtedly jumped a red light (after the car had rammed them up the arse)



Tbf, some people consider cycling a form of terrorism. I'm one of those people
 
After some of the recent outraged I think there is a danger of us , as a general public , expecting something from attacks or being surprised when they fail.

To speculate this could be a radicalised young man with no experience , acting alone trying to carry out an attack. It’s not unreasonable to imagine that the young man could panic and frankly fail to carry out everything he’d intended to do . That wouldn’t mean it was a grand conspiracy merely he’d failed to fulfil his aims. Let’s not forget we’ve had failed suicide attacks in the past , ied’s that haven’t gone off on trains and historically Irish Republicans blowing themselves up with a host of fairly basic errors. Terrorists are fair from perfect so we shouldn’t be surprised of their plans or execution of those plans aren’t either .

We never look at why people feel so determined to do such things.

Knowing the area, it's also quite probable that at least some of those cyclists were EU migrants. Had the headline writer known, his head might have exploded and done more damage to West London than this hopeless terrorist managed in central London.

I'm just checking the koran to see if cyclists are classed as infidels
