Can only think the perp is mentally ill as what could drive somebody to do this?

MI5 had him on a watch list - but obviously not much of a close watch

You’re probably right underfunded like many of our services.

It's from that Channel3Now fake Channel that popped up soon after the massacre. Disgusting hate peddling lies to stoke division. Seems at least one person on here either fell for it, or is encouraging the spread.

Businessman stabbed in leg after trying to disarm attacker, wife says

A local businessman was stabbed in the leg as he tried to put himself between the children and the attacker, the Telegraph is reporting., external

Jonathan Hayes, 63, ran into the dance studio from his office next door after hearing screams, his wife tells the paper. He is due for surgery later.

"He heard screams and went outside, saw the attacker, saw that he had hurt a child and tried to take the knife off him and got stabbed in the leg," his wife, Helen, says.

"He’s very upset that he wasn’t able to be more help. Physically he will be ok, mentally I don’t know.”

Departing from my usual lily livered stance once more to say that, 17 or not, whether he ends up in prison or a secure unit, I hope someone does him.

Religious mania, racist ideology, extreme misogyny….just three possibilities to be going on with.

Yeah RTW - you'd have to be some kind of attention grabbing, sh*t-stirring w*nker to do that wouldn't you, given the tragic circumstances.

Guessing it's alluding to the fact that when white people commit these sorts of atrocities, it's always reported as being a mental health issue, but when its a non white person, it's ideological or terrorism and indicative of some sort of issue with that community.

It's in pretty sh*t taste to make a comment like that, granted.

Because a couple of posts above it was stated that that this atrocity was not terror related. And so now it is being asked if the perpetrator is maybe mentally ill.
