Who said that?

[Ninastar]

I’m being ironic, there’s comments here saying this might not be a terrorist attack which is absolutely... ridiculous

But we don’t know if he attacked those people BECAUSE they were gay or just because they were the unlucky people who were in his path as usual people jump the gun before getting all the facts

Ok well if the motive is 100% confirmed that he did indeed kill these people because they were gay, regardless of colour that still makes him a terrorist. That's my point to the og post of yours i quoted.

I think the point Smithy was making is that whenever a poc or a foreigner is the perpetrator in an incident like this, it doesn’t take long before the incidents are declared as terrorism, but when white people do things like this, they actually take their time to investigate before declaring what it was and we all know why that happens

!

And even if it’s something that would usually be classed as terrorism it ends up being because they were mentally unstable

Then the Police need to investigate a motive, there is always a motive. Apparently he converted from Islam to Christianity a couple years back, and is known by Police for his threats of terrorism.

It's been declared a terror attack though? What does his race have to do with it? When have i mentioned race?

Ignorant is right, it doesn't apply to me here though it applies to you.

Gee you think they’d do that BEFORE they declare it’s a terroir attack huh!

The terrorist aspect is clear, the question is why did he do it. Was it in the name on Islam, Christianity, because he was homophobic?

Stabbing to death 3 people in a park, and only members of the public preventing him from killing more, is an act of terrorism.

He didnt know them so how did he know they were gay?

Do you have a reason to believe he was an Islamic extremist and/ or a homophobe?

How do we know that?

Yes i do, he is on the UK's terrorist list, is known by police for threatening terrorism. And has openly stated in the past he will 'kill/fight' for IS.

As for homophobic, hands up i didn't read enough about the story, saying 'obviously' was wrong, and i take that back, Of course there is a chance, but we don;t know that yet.

But no matter how you look at this, it was an act of terrorism. His race really has nothing to do with it.

edit - if you read my post again, you'll see after my first statement i was generalising
