    Fortunate that the only tool this kid had access to was a knife rather than a gun. If he had a gun there would be 11 dead kids and 2 dead adults.

    The gun crowd will constantly point at knife crime in the UK to justify that it doesn’t matter, but it does, there’s a massive difference in efficiency.

      But have you considered the children could’ve shot back if they had access to guns??

      “Under no circumstances…” says the online leftist as only innocents and children are murdered by guns.

        Supporting a privately-owned gun market that enriches capitalists and arms fascists in the imperial core to own the children. If the left is going to arm itself, it’s not going to be legal and it’s not going to be in a way that makes it easier for 17-year-olds to shoot up babies.

    A 17-year-old boy, from the Lancashire village of Banks but born in Cardiff, has been arrested on suspicion of murder and attempted murder, with police saying the motive remains unclear. He cannot be named for legal reasons.

    The suspect, who police said was armed with a knife, was being questioned by police on Tuesday. The force is not treating the incident as terror-related.

      the motive remains unclear

      I’m not sure how to articulate what I’m thinking about this. It’s very human to ask why? when something horrific happens, so I’m not blaming anyone for wondering what on earth the motive was. But at the same time, no attempt at an explanation is going to satisfy. There’s just no explanation for something like this.

        It’s less about the victim and more about the prosecution. If it’s determined that he did it with forethought, etc. he may be charged with premeditated murder. If it’s determined that he got into some heated argument and proceeded to randomly stab people despite planning on going to the park otherwise, he may be charged with manslaughter. So on and so forth.

        I can really only process these by assuming there’s some sort of latent fascism in the mind of the attacker, even if it’s only subconscious. A healthy society should not produce these kinds of people. The attacker must be subconsciously “culling the weak” or something. I don’t know, this is just mind bendingly horrible

    My bet is on him being a white incel, or whatever the zoomer equivalent is.

      Seriously…

      On dating sites there is typically a question “What’s your weirdest quirk?”

      My answer is usually: I’m a huge misanthrope that likes making people laugh.

      I fucking hate humanity, but I love making people laugh…
