Louisa Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Just watching the news and apparently a 'major incident' has taken place over there earlier on this afternoon. Obviously very early on and not all the facts are out there, but IF this incident is related to terrorism, in a relatively quiet suburban corner of SE London, does this raise concern for other suburbs of our city where military bases are located? Anyone have any further details on this incident?Louisa. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/32529-major-incident-in-woolwich/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otta Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Doesn't sound like a terrorist act, but 2 nasty nut cases who slashed up some poor young guy. My old colleagues from when I worked for Greenwich Social Services could see the bodies from their office window and are quite upset by it.

ellieaness Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I've just seen about it on the news - apparently it is being suggested that it is a terrorist incident but guess we will have to wait to see.It's horrific regardless and heart goes out to the affected families.

stacey-lyn Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 From the suspect's video post the attack it's absolutely terrorism, by definition. 100%.

Otta Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 By definition yes, but I think maybe that definition needs looking at. "Hate crime" would be more appropriate IMO.We shall see what facts come out, but I suspect this was two men acting alone.

smarties Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 So very sad, thoughts go out to the family of the young man who was killed so unnecessarily. Britain has got to toughen up to "terrorism"!

the-e-dealer Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Two guys run over someone - a soldier on the pavement then hack his head off and ask passers by to video them. Not Terrorism?

glasshalffull Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 2 followers of Islam target an individual, kill him in a barbaric act of terror and you don't want the words Islamic and terrorism mentioned. How do you want it described?Woodrot wrote,expect much anti islam agitation and posturing out > of this. it could be a marinus van den lubbe type > of trigger for the short of senseI obviously agree that the Nazi party were extremely short of sense, and not only when they executed Marinus van den lubbe for his political beliefs, what major political organisation in Britain today are you suggesting is going to execute innocent individuals for their political beliefs?

El Pibe Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 My gut says to call this terrorism flatters it and gives it political justification to some extent.To me this is just pointless nihilistic violence, it's murder.It's kicking someone to death because they're a goth with pierced lips, or homosexual walking home from vauxhall, or running a cyclist over because they don't pay road tax.The cheap bullshit political claptrap whilst narcissistically posturing for the cameras suggest a degree of sociopathy to me.Boring thoughts aside my heart goes out to the family of the chap killed, utterly horrific.

Some, minority bits of Islam, are not that peace loving as events in Iraq this week have shown....are we all going to cover up our ears with the Guardian? It's very easy to make a case for significant chunks of Islam (not muslims)being pretty unpleasant.
