Dan,

Perhaps the lesson to be learnt is not to lunge at people with a 12-inch knife and not to wear what looks like a suicide vest. At least only do it in the presence of totally defenceless people, not anywhere near armed police.

Yes, I would have shot him too without hesitation. I hope too that i might be one of those wonderful people who tackled and disarmed him. A lovely young nurse from Loxton, here in SA, did the same in the previous attack nearly three years ago, running towards the attacker, and paid with her life.

And it turns out that one of his victims - hardly random - was an organiser of the conference on rehabilitation that he was attending. It raises the question of whether or not 'de-radicalisation' can ever be genuine.

Since what some bastard does in London has nothing to do with what Muslim women are wearing in Parramatta, I fervently hope that nobody is stupid or gutless enough to use this attack as an excuse to abuse them.

Joe

A failure of the British justice system, yes, anything to do with multiculturalism, no. A crazed killer gunned down by police, so be it. Those with the authority over this Usman Khan need to explain themselves as to why he was in the position to do what he did.

What punitive action against others in society will the hard right of the forum suggest?

Maybe you should've listened to Trump.
Firstly - Don't import people from 'shithole' countries;

And secondly,
Don't negotiate or have sympathy for terrorists.
- No discount for good behavior -

Lock them away for as long as possible.
Throw the damn key away for all I care.

Loudmouth three Paul we are up to our chins in folk who seem to want to target two women
Not the poor silly mentally ill criminal who attacked her
AND they think involving that gutless murderer from England makes it ok
Tell me folks would you brutally harm a woman for wearing whatever she wants to?
Are Muslim women lesser beings?

It's all down to the crazy-mad policy of multiculturalism. Religious nutters who murdered people, and plotted against countries they were allowed into (like the Muslims thankfully caught here recently and sentenced to 28 and 13 years jail) were not in existence in the West prior to the filthy policy.

We didn't need them; we didn't want them; but, our most dangerous enemies, our own politicians, thought it would make them look good with the UN and other global trash.

Belly,

"Are Muslim women lesser beings?"

Only to Islam.
