Hope some doors are getting kicked through by the ob in his community, find out what people knew, whether his friends/family were aware of his sick views, whether they'd noticed him becoming more extreme and why they hadn't informed the police of any suspicions. It's not good enough to stay silent. Why has nobody from his community stepped up to condemn this attack?

People in my hometown - across a range of people - seem pretty convinced it's someone else. I won't name him for obvious reasons. But it would fit with a south wale van hire.

No amount of cajolery...
OK, I'll delete my original post.

It might be right, who knows right now? But people are saying this blokes mum has been taken away today and all sorts.

Couldn't remember his name, but wasn't he the one who blinded the copper?Poor auld moaty doesn't even get a mention
Still glad that violent attacks by gun, knife or whatever are still comparatively rare in the UK - enough so to merit a prominent feature on the news and usually, concern from the public. In the US, they've now become so commonplace, they're barely mentioned in the media, unless the numbers killed are huge, the killers are black, brown or Muslim, or the victims are "important," (e.g. Republican legislators, celebrities, etc.)
Yuck.

This would be the first Welsh terror attack to have ever killed someone who wasn't one of the terrorists responsible for it.

Apparently CNN reported it as Sam Hyde
Lots of pushback that AA is the same type of thing. Sick-arse trolling.
Seriously? CNN fell for it?
That's nuts.

So I've read. Doesn't mean it's true of course, but neither would I be surprised.

One clear lesson from this attack and others is that Theresa May has learnt to get her running shoes on and emote from the scene of the crime with her crocodile tears before Comrade Corbyn arrives with the real thing.
I'm gonna carry a Theresa May Stay Away victim card to inform the authorities in the case of me being injured in an attack that I don't want to wake up to see that in my face. Now that would be real terror....

This is true, in the absence of ideas or politics to address individual acts of terror, the ability to emote/to be real is the new measure of competency and agency.

Maybe 'ordinary' violence but, given the circumstances, I thought 'fled into Mosque' sounded alarming like another islamaphobic attack?

Indeed, and he has now been charged on terrorism offences.

I think they'd still count as defensive actions against the invader, at least up to around 1485 or so.
