Huntingdon Train Incident - Reports of multiple stabbings

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.

Sorry to hear that.

Real people just going about their day affected by some random madness, it could be any of us going home after a match or seeing a loved one.

It’s not really in Huntingdon, as such. It was a Newcastle to Kings Cross train and obviously Huntingdon was the first station they could stop at, once the incident occurred. Given that, it must have happened after Peterborough, as that would have been a much easier stopping place.

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.

That's different from what you were suggesting.

You were suggesting that people want one over the other so they can laugh at the other side.

It's much more likely that the only reason that people want one over the other is because of the different ways certain segments of our society will treat a crime committed by a white person versus how they will treat a crime committed by a non white person.

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.

Just wanted to say all I was checking was if your post had verified information about what the attackers had said, that’s all.

Like I said, it’s why I left Twitter - the amount of unverified information on there went through the roof!

An interesting post left in an ambiguous state open for interpretation.

It’s where my wife’s family are all from, think it wasn’t supposed to stop there though as it was the LNER train.

That’s right. Seems it was Doncaster to Kings Cross and Huntingdon was the first station they could stop at.
Luckily for my daughter she was on the train from London as that became the last train from London for tonight, so there’s likely hundreds of people stuck in London and beyond.

No proof of ultimate planning.

Doesn't take much planning to be in an angry state and to get on a train you travel on/ know the route of/ or a random on with a kitchen knife or two for an indiscriminate attack.

one of you will be wrong...maybe one will admit it when the facts emerge, then again...
