This was yesterday.
[A non-fatal stabbing in Surrey is being treated as a terrorism incident by police. Officers were called to reports of a man acting aggressively and shouting racist comments while carrying a baseball bat and a knife in Stanwell at 10.30pm on Saturday night. Shortly afterwards, police received reports that a man had been stabbed - and detectives believe the same suspect is behind both incidents.] https://news.sky.com/story/police-tr...ident-11668741 [Surrey Police said the 19-year-old man who was stabbed sustained non-life threatening injuries and is being treated in hospital.] Glad he did not die Last edited by arista; 17-03-2019 at 04:22 PM. |

POW! BLAM!

I'm interested as to what made it a terror attack rather than a hate crime.

Tbh the vast majority of "random" race related attacks in the UK these days could be accurately described as terrorism as they generally are intended to send a political message about immigration. |

[QUOTE=Toy Soldier;10481021]The element that usually has to come into play to make something "terrorism" is there being an attempt to further a political goal... I.e. "I attacked that Muslim because I just hate Muslims" = hate crime, "I attacked that Muslim because I want them and the government to know that they are not welcome here and its time to send them all home" = terrorism.

The key part for the official definition of terrorism is there being a motivation to drive political change.

Oh no, I'm English

And just like that, the people became interested in nuance.

Jessica Meuse was robbed.

Terrorism and hate crime normally do tend to go hand in hand as terrorism normally happens because the terrorists are intolerant of that particular group of people that have been attacked.
Hopefully the person that did the stabbing will be locked up for a long time.
