TV and print editors need to be spoken about this in no uncertain terms. Four people died. Tragic for those involved, but not a threat to our country.
These events need to be downplayed not hyped up.
Media needs to be on our side.
Remove the oxygen of publicity. |  |

No. Let's show the libtards of the world what's happening.
You'd rather it be brushed under the carpet so we can just wait for the next attack? Nah. |  | | |

I do think the scramble is undignified. And has lead to a pretty massive c0ckup of publically naming the wrong person. |  |

You almost got an uppie from he...until the fifth word. Flashblue makes a point but the timing and place of the attack demands that it remain at the top of the news agenda for a while. Other stuff is going on though - and the next attack is likely to be elsewhere in the world. Might even already have happened but using your logic we wouldn't hear about it. |  |

I agree, all this does is feed the terrorists oxygen and we need to starve them of it, not feed it. |  |

I'd say a terrorist attack is a national threat. Obviously? | |

An attack of this scale? A threat to the country?
Surely a threat to the country needs to be on a scale potentially involving massive loss of life, a need to change everyday behaviour in response, measurable impact on the economy etc. | | | |

Phil, Gav, im still getting an ad blocking out the first response to threads on iphone.
Now, whilst perfectly placed on this thread, it's generally quite annoying. |  |

We're not controlled by fear. That's why we're all carrying on as normal. |  |

This is a minor incident in terms of casualties and deaths. Similar to a road traffic accident. Hyping up the gruesome details encourages others to follow suit. In the same way that the media do not publicise suicides they should not hype this up.
IRA activity was downplayed and so should this be. | |

Yeah but this is brown people terrorism which is worse. |  |

I'd say calling it a "terrorist attack" is giving an idiot with a car and a knife more credit than he deserves.
9/11 and 7/7 were terrorist attacks; mass loss of life with heavy planning/plotting. Yesterday was a "terrorist act". [Post edited 23 Mar 2017 14:57]

Can't believe arguments are being had over semantics.

I think that reveals your own prejudices personally - there are supposedly plenty of white jihadis. Wasn't one of them blown up by a drone in Syria recently? [Post edited 23 Mar 2017 15:07]

At what point does a terrorist 'act' become a terrorist 'attack'? Is it a matter of deaths or the method of the attack?
Afterall, Nice was 'just' a nutter driving something, but caused 80 odd deaths, whereas the tube bombings were a highly planned group attack and caused less death...
Should we make such distinctions when the purpose of each appears to be political terrorism? | |

A man drives a car at high speed along a footpath/bikepath (if you haven't seen the CCTV footage, the speed he's going at is truly shocking) ploughing through 40 people, then jumps out, repeatedly stabs a police officer and is metres away from murdering members of our democratically elected government.
And you don't think it should be headline news?
I hope you're just trolling... |  | | |
