Stabbings in Leicester Square 12/08/24

[Spymaster]

Jumped on by a guy called Abdullah. Gammon all confused now.

Unfortunately, the stabber has been named as Ioan Pintaru, which sounds Romanian, so they'll likely be kicking off again.

Andrew Tate must be discombobulated though....

It appears to be the little girl that was attacked and the mother was injured trying to defend her. Absolutely horrific and feels connected to the Southport atrocity if only in a 'this is how bad things are now' kind of way. Hopefully random stabbings of little girls doesn't become a trend, I know my daughter has been deeply frightened by both events. We'll have to wait to see if this is severe mental illness or some kind of online radicalisation (incel/Tate-type stuff seems most likely but there are other possibilities).

The name looks Romanian, which will get some of the idiots excited, but I also suppose people will be being more careful online after last week's arrests.

"Romanian" screams the headline on the Daily Mail website. apparently, he has a 4-year-old daughter in Manchester but was homeless.

 

[pbsmooth]

Yep, right now it does look like you’re making excuses for the perpetrator existentialist

We don’t know why he did it. Perhaps he’s just a man who hates women and little girls. There’s a lot of them about.

but men commit more crimes against men than against women...

This is awful

What kind of "radicalisation" would cause a man to stab an 11-year old girl? There are no "radicals" suggesting that anyone should do such things.

Piss off

 

[Poot]

but men commit more crimes against men than against women...

Yes, men commit most violent attacks. Many of them are against women.

oh stfu you pompous windbag

Yes. You've nearly got it.

Let me put it this way: when has a man ever been walking home late at night and seen a woman and worried that she might attack him?

Or when has a woman ever been walking home late at night and seen a woman and worried that she might attack her?

And how often are men worried their partner/ex/sister/daughter is going to kill them? Also going to post this on the main violence against women thread.

Throughout the year the Guardian aims to report on every woman whose death has led to a man being charged

not sure how this level of 'observation' helps. but I won't derail the thread further.

Probably for the best.

 

[JimW]

Quick to say not terror related but relentless attacks on women surely do create an atmosphere of terror for the largest section of the population.

I think you might be unfortunately naive here. I think the kind of radicalisation that led to the Ecole Polytechnique attack in 1989, Elliot Rodger, Alek Minassian, and the 2014-15 Portsmouth stabbings is depressingly likely to lead to something like that.

As far as I know, these were attacks on adults, and not children.

you think a different sort of radicalisation is needed then. on what grounds?

On the gounds that I can not imagine an "incel" blaming an 11-year-old girl for his failure to engage in sexual intercourse.

so it's simply on the grounds of your limited imagination

No, it is clearly bullshit to state that someone stabbed a girl because they were "radicalised". There is no ideology that thinks that all girls should be killed.

go on then, explain why it is clearly bullshit - show me the thought process and lay out for me the argument behind your assertion.

No, the burden of proof is on the person who asserts that something exists. If you are asserting that there is an ideology that advocates that girls should be stabbed, then provide evidence for it.

 

[Glitter]

Oh good. More dickwaving. That’s what this discussion needs.

 

[Pickman's model]

No, it is clearly bullshit to state that someone stabbed a girl because they were "radicalised". There is no ideology that thinks that all girls should be killed.

there is at least one which thinks that it doesn't really matter if they are killed. but for some peculiar reason you think the sort of men who'd do this sort of thing would also be rather careful about the ages of girls they stab. that's really strange.

 

[ouirdeaux]

I am not aware that

What kind of "radicalisation" would cause a man to stab an 11-year old girl? There are no "radicals" suggesting that anyone should do such things.

Which particular radicals are suggesting that men stab grown women?

 

[maomao]

Well, we'll find out one way or another at the trial, won't we. Islamic fundamentalists terrorists have long advocated going for the easiest targets so it's not impossible to imagine online mysogyny combined with this tactic resulting in the recent tragedies we've seen. However, all is speculation till it comes out in court.

Every time I walk down our driveway pissed.
