Huntingdon Train Incident - Reports of multiple stabbings

[Ethan23]

Because they're political, and nothing to do with horror show.

Its an off topic section
Who are you to sensor what people say.

 

[paulchapo]

I'm not saying that it isn't, but where have they said that? I can't find it.

There are reports out there but some have disappeared, I'd expect they've been pulled.

Because they're political, and nothing to do with this horror show, and I posted that they would be removed.

that's the politics sub-forum fucked then?

I'm someone trusted to keep the sense on something we know nothing much about at this point.

You'll be getting a thread ban shortly if you don't desist.

This isn't in there though.

Sorry boss.

good point, well made... but you get my gist ;)

All I'll say is thank god our gun laws are what they are, because from where I'm sitting we are becoming more and more like America every day. There has always been violence in this country - there is likely less now than there was 200 years ago - but the sheer number of violent attacks has definitely shot up since a decade ago.

It doesn't matter the race, religion, or creed of the attacker - people viewing knives as some kind of solution to a problem they have is on the rise in the UK. On a train in Huntingdon, on a street in Uxbridge, outside a school in Liverpool, at a dance class in Southport, or on Primrose Hill on New Year's Eve.

We're turning into a fearful, paranoid nation, full of people (mostly men) edging ever closer to total psychopathy. It doesn't matter if the attacker is born here or has come from somewhere else, knives being regarded as a solution to whatever problem a person has seems to be rising sharply, especially among very young people.

It feels as though people are being driven mad by something. I think we all know what it is. Society always had violent outcasts, deranged criminals, and sociopaths, but those numbers are climbing. You now can't even get on a train anymore without fear of being stabbed up for one reason or another. Why is everyone so angry?

Another depressing thing is that, despite the fact that people are injured, one side is desperate for the attackers to be brown/black while the other side is desperate for the attackers to be white, just so they can point and laugh at the other side for being wrong about some argument they've been having on social media for 15 years.

On Sky news currently two suspects taken into custody the PM “is deeply concerned” it’s a dreadful situation we don’t know what’s happened. Maybe multiple stabbed
A “Sky News clip captures a eyewitness recounting the harrowing experience, describing how he hid in a toilet as a black male attacker, dressed in all-black clothing, stabbed victims before being tasered and subdued by armed officers at the station.This sounds like absolute chaos and terrifying!! Enough is enough”

Nothing will happen it never sadly does
The powers that be will say a few kind words

And sadly we roll on to the next tragedy my god i really do hate this country and what its become

I'm actually interested in keeping it in this section, at least until some facts are available. @Ric trusts me to use my judgement on that, and he's deleted more than I have so far.

No its fair enough emotions are running high as they always do when such horrific events occur. You mods do a good job of trying to keep.it on track, apologies if anybody was upset by my post.

Its like someone has switched something on and this country has become a Grade A basket case

It's been happening slowly and we all know what it is. Covid/lockdown just sped the process up.

Combine that with everyone being (and feeling) worse off than they were 10-15 years ago.

A nice little recipe for Nutbag Nation there.

Did you witness this. Upload your pictures and videos.

They're as bad as "X" these days.

Thank god there was toilets on the train for some people to hid in, a number have been taken to hospital. It was a large knife and a number of people have gone to give statement

Doncaster to London King’s Cross at 7.30pm in Huntingdon police flooded the scene

May be a depressing thought. But it's not really a realistic or accurate thought.

I doubt laughing at the other side really matters to anyone at the moment.

Depressing :-(

But it absolutely does. You see it on here and on social media every time something like this happens. Lots of people desperate for the attackers to belong to one particular group or another.

I think the point is, nobody is laughing, it's a sad event.

I'm starting to feel like the news anchor in the film network.

One of my colleagues is in bits about it as he put some of his passengers on the affected train.

We can't tell the future but that doesn't help his sense of guilt. I'd probably feel the same in his shoes.
