No, I wonder why you don’t do anything about the trolls and the WUMs. You let a small group of people constantly jump all over posts that go against their agendas. Isn’t it time you sorted it out? For a site that charges money for membership it is very poorly regulated.

Yet you are repeatedly allowed to call people racists, right wing Tommy Robinson fans and rape apologists because you don’t like them. As others have pointed out the only troll on this thread is you. You really are a tiresome prick.

I don't want soggy banned. On the contrary I think his posts should be highlighted and he should be free to post his bigoted and horrid views. The more people who see them, the more people understand who he is and they lose any sympathy they may have had for him like the poster above.

All you had to do was leave out "we may have some on here". But you can't resist.

I agree. I would never want anyone banned. Soggy tries to place this nice guy but the more he posts the more the mask slips.

I don’t know too much about gun control, is it the normal plods responsibility or is there a separate firearm type agency whose sole responsibility is policing gun control?

It's the Police.

I once saw a bloke handing in a shotgun at a rural Police station. The officer on the desk obviously knew him, and asked why he was handing it over. "I've been keeping it under my bed but don't need it any more. My divorce has finally come through".

Perhaps a separate agency should be created that would have more time to fully investigate the individual before licences are issued and can also monitor on an ongoing basis. I’d imagine ex plod or ex servicemen would be perfect for it.

I haven't seen evidence that this violence was in pursuit of political aims which is the definition of a terrorist. It seems on the face of it that it was just lashingnoutnwoth general anger at the world and those close to him. 

By that definition, the 'terrorist' attacks by ISIS (Manchester arena bombing etc) are also not 'terrorist' attacks as they have no political aims.  Religious motivation and 'revenge' for attacks on Muslims but no political motivations.

[Baird of the land]

I do feel the whole gun license thing is silly. Once removed surely it simply shouldn't be restored.

Don't be silly. The difference is obvious I don't have to spell it out. As you have said yourself, we currently have no evidence to establish if this was done in service of a political or religious ideology or if he simply got pissed off at his mum. The fact it may have been being an Incel that made him angry in the first case doesn't make it terrorism. 

 

It's tragic and horrible whatever it turns out to be anyway.

We have a firearms licensing team in Hampshire which is part of the Police. I would expect that everyone who owns one would need some sort of vetting which is also carried out by an internal department. No idea what level the vetting would be at though.

I agree with you on this.  Manchester was terrorism and there was a political aim to cause fear and anguish within "the enemy".  The trouble with an incident like Plymouth is it's not really terrorism but has some of the ingredients of terrorism (extreme ideology/brainwashing) whilst lacking others (organisation/politically relevant targets).

In some ways this sort of attack is less predictable which makes it scary in it's own way.  With the rise of Incel culture and the deepening damage being dished out by social media and forum culture, this sort of random event will likely become more common.  Thank god we have strict gun laws.

I guess the internet might make this worse but this killing is not much different to the Hungerford massacre which happened way before social media existed. He was a loner and failure who had issues with his mother, maybe the problems are no different, it's just made more visible by the web?

Yeah, good point, it feels very similar to Hungerford in nature.  I expect the number of young men who feel isolated and hopeless is probably higher now but gun laws are stricter balancing it out somewhat.  There's been a significant rise in Incel driven attacks over the last decade globally (the US and Japan being the obvious examples), some of which could easily be defined as terrorism (far more organised than this).

Yep agree with that. Very little that can be done if its not picked up by the people around them and these people offered support before it's too late. As you say at least we aren't in America.

And these people can club together and find each other and get egged on.

Are you seriously saying that if the only difference in Plymouth was that if he was brown skinned and owned a Koran it would still not be labelled as terrorism?

I might have been labelled as such by some but anyone labelling it would have been incorrect until such time as the facts became clearer.

Not by the counter terrorism units/police, obviously certain parts of the media and population would have called it as such.

The Plymouth shootings may be reclassified as a terror attack, according to Devon and Cornwall Police.

In a statement, the force said the initial decision not to state Jake Davison's spree as terrorism was made by the National Counter Terrorism Policing Network.

 

But following investigations into Davison's links to the "incel" movement - which stands for involuntarily celibate - this status may be changed.

So exactly like I said then. Further investigation may have provided more evidence to suggest that the attack was to further a political ideology.

Why don't InCels go to prossies ? Solves the problem and keeps the local economy going. 🙂

Arf. It's not that crazy. Full beards are linked to high testosterone which is also linked to increased aggression.

Maybe. To be honest I haven't bothered to look into it.
