Well you know the world is going bonkers when Plymouth is having a terrorist attack.

Imo shooting five people at random is a terrorist attack, whether it's ISIS related or not.

All are thought to have died from gunshot wounds and
relatives have been informed.
An MP said one of those killed was under 10 years old and
more people were being treated in hospital.]

The gunman



Eyewitness Sharron, who lives nearby and did not want to give her full name, said what happened was "horrendous and so sad".

"Firstly, there was shouting, followed by gunshots - three possibly four to begin with," she said.

"This was when the shooter kicked in the door of a house and randomly started shooting. He ran from the house shooting as he ran and proceeded to shoot at a few people in the linear park up from the drive."

She said the "shooter proceeded along Royal Navy Avenue still shooting".

Another witness, Robert Pinkerton, said he "walked around the corner" and "bumped into a bloke with a shotgun". He said the man was dressed all in black

I've not had the tv or radio on since yesterday... I'm only just hearing about this. It's more the kind of thing you're associate with the US. Horrible...

The door of a home was kicked by the Gunman so I am thinking a custody dispute or something, just awful

And this will still be deemed "not terrorism". The world needs to wake up and realise that attacks by these people are increasing, and are ABSOLUTELY terrorism.

These men are radicalised online, full to the brim with hatred (mostly for women, but also for anyone who isn't "one of them", as with any other terrorism) and commit horrific acts of violence. It's not "not terrorism" just because it's in the name of 4chan and not some deity or other.

i think it was a terror attack from many different angles, but primarily because after shooting up the house, he then shot at bystanders in the street. That's the ultimate act of terrorism

It's really hard to get your head around when the person then shoots themself - as is often what happens. How do families of the victims you get closure on that? What do you do with that? All so pointless and meaningless, and it's just over, you just have to deal with it and move on because there's no justice to be had. Sickening.

[Plymouth gunman was 23-year-old virgin
who posted rambling YouTube videos complaining
he was too 'fat and ugly' to have sex and
boasted about being a 'Terminator' before
'killing five including girl, five, and
family then shooting himself dead'

Jake Davison, 23, a bodybuilder obsessed with
not being attractive to women,
named locally as the killer
He spoke of affinity with 'incel' movement
whose misogynist members have carried out
mass murder in US
Gunman went on a rampage through
the streets of Plymouth last night killing
five people and then himself
He was seen kicked down the door
of a house in his street and then opening
fire on strangers in the street
Dozens of police remained at the scene
tonight trying to piece together the details
of Davison's bloodbath
A girl of five, two women and two men
died in the attack, as did Davison.
The majority were strangers to him]
