[Politics] Protests/rioting in lots of places

No, but you are making it sound like it’s somehow hard to get this stuff and you have to go out your way to obtain it. It’s not and managing to download it doesn’t mean you have any actual links to Islam or any organisation.

It’s sad how desperate people are to make this an Islamic terrorist attack when the evidence isn’t there to say that.

Indeed. Someone has even suggested he faked his Christianity to cover up his evil Islamist intentions.

Anyone planning to strike out in the name of Islam isn't going to attack schoolchildren with a knife and not make any attempt to link the act with a purpose. What is the evidence he has been making an Islamist point on the back of the outrage? Where are the mocking statements that we infedels can read?

Has there been a worldwide crowing of militant Islamist glee at the 'extermination of three unbelievers'?

And faking autism to cover up time spent on the internet at home requires considerable skill and determination.

This sounds like florid psychosis, not the culmination of a carefully laid Islamist plan, years in the making.

(the very notion is utter bollocks, but someone will be along in a minute to declare 'we just don't know')

The problem is that when you withhold information you provide a vacuum in which unsubstantiated facts, worse than you withheld, can thrive. You also provide a precedent for further unsubstantiated proposals the next time a similar event happens.

The truth can be dangerous, but nowhere near as dangerous as its hiding.

The only information available that was withheld was the name of the suspect as he was a youth. Once the judge gave permission to make it public, it was.

In the meantime, social media gave a completely false name, said he was an illegal immigrant who arrived last year, and a false narrative over his religion. This caused lynch mobs to take matters into their own hands.

The police did nothing wrong.

Can I please remind everyone not to speculate on ongoing legal matters.

The line in the sand is drawn here, please stay behind it.
