    Amusing.
    The police are treating it as a terrorist attack, but if it was one, there was not much planning to it.
    Otherwise, it could be a schizophrenic having a violent episode and attacking authority,
    ...or both...

    No, it is simply an example of the reality liberals choose to ignore.

    These people are dead because of liberal policies of open borders, thinking you can tame wild animals.

    No, they go for Muslim if that is the appropriate description. I guess all they can say for certain at the moment is the man is Asian.

    Doesnt it work in direct relation as to how much his country suffered by the Europeans ? perhaps he was only protesting the flight computer ban, hence the i40.

    being sarcastic again.....

    The media seems unclear whether this was a coordinated attack or if the bridge and the Parliament intrusion were unconnected.

    Maybe someone used the commotion of a traffic accident as an opportunity to try to breach Parliament.

    Oh, I read it like it was just one guy acting alone. They haven't seemed to mention anyone else...

    And do these mass murderers all belong to one organized group bent on the destruction of western society?

    Go ahead and try to draw parallels, there are none.

    Early on I think there were reports of two shot outside Parliament but the reporting is confused and Scotland Yard isn't filling in any details yet. I mean common sense would suggest they had to be connected, but I suppose the intruder guy theoretically could have been skulking about waiting for a chance that was provided by an unfortunate traffic crash or something. Time will tell.

    Does this guy? Really? Or is he just a catastrophe looking for a cause....

    But in any event, there was that Norwegian guy.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_Norway_attacks
    Now that was organised.

    Experience. When I was a Congressional staffer, one of our district offices had persistent contacts with a guy who thought the CIA was out to get him. He was a nutcase but he never did anything that could get him arrested or banned so there was coordination between that office and the US Marshall Service a floor below related to him as our office was the usual port of arrival for his crazy. They would give the staff the heads up when he was around the building and the staff would give them the heads up if he reached us as he skulked about. Eventually the guy tried sprinting through security into the federal courtroom at which point he got a nice little taxpayer funded vacation.

    Brussels bombings (ISIL, 32 dead, 3 x coordinated bombs) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_Brussels_bombings
    I can't find anything else significant about that date...

    This guy was nowhere near that dangerous.

    You don't believe that ascribing a motive isn't slightly premature? Of course it couldn't be a celebration of the attack a year to the day in Brussels?

    Actually, according to the brit papers, it is. They won't know religious affiliation until they go through forensics. So, the euphemism is, "Asian".

    Its not a euphemism, Its a description. They don't currently have the information to provide any better description.
