Default Police officer among three stabbed in Manchester city centre by a Terrorist

Not good for New Year's Eve


[Three people, including a police officer,
have been stabbed at
Manchester Victoria station - amid reports
of a man wielding a knife.
The station, in the city centre, has been
closed while a man has been arrested.
Officers from British Transport Police (BTP)
were called shortly before 9pm
on New Year's Eve.
Two members of the public, a man
and a woman, were taken to hospital
with knife injuries.]

Does "good will to all men" mean nothing to people anymore at this time of year?

It's about time we got the scum of our streets once and for all.

I don't get why some people are so cruel, it was New Year's Eve ffs, why not just let people have some peace from violence?

Hopefully these people will end up being okay.

But why is he called a Terrorist... it could have been domestically motivated... it could have been a mugging... one non-descript crazy guy with a knife does not a terrorist make

The article in the OP doesnt mention that. It doesnt even mention his ethnicity. Where was it reported?

Could just as easily be the ramblings of someone on a random rampage. Not saying it is or isn't, just (as always) more information needed before jumping on the tabloid band-wagon.

[Nousha Babaakachel, a neighbour of the home
raided, said a Somali family live at the address.
She said the couple have two sons are at university,
one working at Manchester Airport
and the youngest son is back in Somalia.
They also have a daughter.]

[Both parents attend a local mosque, Ms Babaakachel said.
Witnesses to last night's events have praised the
British Transport Police officer who was stabbed
in the shoulder after 'bravely and immediately'
confronting the attacker during a routine patrol.]

Try posting an article that reflects the info in your bias thread titles in the future then.
This is why I generally avoid threads started by you. So much misinformation

[Mr Clack also said he heard
the knifeman shouting "Allah" during the attack,
along with a slogan criticising Western governments. ]

That does not constitute "more information" (for me, I'm aware that it might for others).

There are 2 issues here; he is a terrorist because he committed an act of terror, but the wider point is the conditioning of people to accept a far more narrow version of the word that is only used to describe Muslim crimes.

If this was a white dude, it would have been called a "frenzied knife attack".

As this wasn't a random knife attack but one furthering the cause of a global terrorist organisation, i am perfectly happy to label it a terrorist attack

By no stretch of the imagination is it possible to know that 24 hours after the attack. It may well be, but the full story won't be known for months, by which point the press wont be very interested and the public won't be interested at all.
