doc.fixit Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 ..............I believe Trumpet said the UK police have to become pro-active, presumably being able to mind read and predict the future may help?.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd agree with that. Hardly "kneejerk" surely?

Aristotle Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Let's not be silly here. There's a 95>% probability of it being a Muslim and <5% probability of it being a non-Muslim nutjob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I can hear the desks thumping from all the knee jerking on social media already). If you think a mentally ill person planting a bomb is a "fun fact" then you are more disturbed than we thought.

Some dude got arrested for posting stuff about muslims, so I'm not going to say anything. The police would rather arrest me than a terrorist.

That's is the common theme / motivation with modern terrorism - it's people with strong opinions. Especially self-radicalised pseudo intellectual people with strong opinions. Especially online. Not nearly enough is being done to monitor people with strong and often conflicting opinions. Especially when they end up arguing with themselves. Let's face it. Most of the problems in the world are caused by people with strong opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a way with words and soundbites as well as a way with reading a situation. It is evidently too painful to comprehend the reality of extremists committing acts of violence on our streets as a consequence of their particular observance of an alien religion to which we have no answer and no clue. It is far easier to wrap ourselves in the comfort blanket of them having "mental issues" that can be addressed and ameliorated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a world of difference between having a tendency to violent extremism and having strong opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troublemakers, the people who create problems, invariably express strong and often contrarian opinions. Very often this is a reaction against upbringing. And I suspect to do with their feeling of never quite fitting in. They don't belong to any particular group and can therefore very easily adopt a persona or a set of opinions. There was something which set them apart from their contemporaries as they were growing up. Or perhaps they existed between two or more groups. So they lacked a strong sense of identity. I think that's also perhaps why converts are more dangerous than people born into a thing. Whether it's money, class, politics or religion. It's very important we know who we are and where we fit in and belong. Without having to think about it it or try. People who know who they are don't typically create problems. Not on an internet forum, and not by planting bombs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's be air to Rich-TARD though, nobody with a brain has any time for his idiotic comments. He really needs to get a life and stop pretending hes' posting via a real name.
