Current Affairs Stabbing incident in Southport

[Mrk]

No punishment could be too cruel or barbaric for the person who's done this. I hope they suffer terribly.

 

[LostLegend]

I see the usual types across the web were genuinely itching for a migrant from one of those hotels to be responsible.

Kids are dead and that’s the first place your mind goes to? I genuinely cannot understand that mindset.

He has to have severe mental illness. There is no other way an adult/young adult coud do that to a group of young kids.

Not necessarily, there are naturally evil individuals out there.

It’s wrong to just assume that mental illness is the root cause just as it’s wrong for people to be assuming his ethnicity.

It has been the darkest day for Southport, but I want to say that the response of the adults who fought the attacker, the members of the public who provided first aid until the emergency services arrived. And all the emergency services was first class and heroic.

Not only have we seen the worst of humanity we have seen the best too.

Totally agree. Even the local Aldi & Tesco sent sandwiches and water for the first responders..

As I've previously said, I’m against capital punishment, as I really do not feel that society should be promoting the concept of being vengeful.

But it's in these few occasions where my belief is tested. I doubt many would shed a tear if he was taken to the countryside, a hole was dug and made to kneel.

Incredibly sad. Impossible to understand

That's not been determined or disproven yet..

Capital punishment is too kind. People like this should be tortured every day for the rest of their lives. They should suffer.

Indeed, so crowing about it to others and demanding people take to the streets would be dangerously premature, no?

‘Cause that’s what some of them are doing.

Sadly people do think that way nowadays and with it been highlighted more recently with the rise of Tommy Robinsons latest scam, social media, reform party and mainstream news reporting about it daily, that’s what a majority of uneducated idiots will think first. All it does is add more fuel to the fire.


At the moment, all that matters was those poor children. So sad.

The release about it being a 17 year old from Banks etc etc was said online an hour before it was announced on the news. There's one small other bit of info that the news didn't say, which has separated it from the online rumours at the minute. We shall see if the rumours are true in time..

I get what you are saying but I think we'd need to agree a concise definition of evil relative to this case.

If it is that thattacker is just evil, then it is some level of evil, the kind that you'd never hope to see again.

One parting shot from the Conservatives' asylum system. Absolute travesty. RIP to those lost.

Don't be a tit.

You say ‘at the moment’, all we should care about is the horror inflicted on the children, and that is certainly true. Are you then going to conveniently forget about the ‘cause’ of this incident in the coming weeks?
