Few on here will be devastated it isn't a white man :(

That's him.
Weird how there was another guy watching, taking video and who had THREE KNIVES IN HIS BAG, but that the police said he was not connected to the guy who ran everyone over, and despite the fact that this sort of thing happened a year ago in the same place, they don't see a terror connection. I mean, there probably isn't one, but why did the same thing happen in the same place twice?

It's because people use it as shorthand for Islamic terrorism. Don't tell Ted that though.

Wouldn't it be fair to say that Islamic Militancy is something of a mental health issue anyway? :laughing:

It’s unfair to the mentally ill to associate them with THAT **** RELIGION.

I think the problem might be that he's driving cars into crowds, not that his parents were brown. Since they didn't specify that he's an immigrant, it's very probable that he's not.

Don't you think that someone without ties to ISIS could possibly do something like this because of, say, the amount of reporting that it immediately receives?

I saw his picture.

Ah yes he's clearly with ISIS. No brownies have beards these days.

Um, yeah, like the guy that drove a car into anti-white supremacist protesters in Charlottesville. Somehow I don't think that twit belonged to ISIS,
