I guess that could change.
The poor people of London, how much bad luck can one city have.

(12,384 posts)Ran them over, stabbed people according to witness reports.
Witness are sayings its a hate crime.
I guess all this could change and be completely wrong.
It appears though the attacker hated muslims.

(33 posts)Two ran off while members of the public detained the other man. There is a lot of anger in the area that this isn't being called out as a terrorist incident.

(111,339 posts)the antiterrorism unit is on the scene. They are treating this as a terrorist attack.
I keep hoping one of these things is going to be a garden variety drunk jumping the curb, but no such luck so far.

(5 posts)I think it is better to assume it is terrorism and start an investigation and be proven wrong than to assume is not and do nothing and be proven wrong.
The consequences of being wrong for the former are that you have to apologize and look like and idiot, but in the latter case the consequences are even more innocent people being killed.
