Next to last sentence in the story (see source at link):

"Whilst it is too early to speculate on what the motive behind this attack was I am confident, based on the information currently available to me, that it is not terrorist related.”

From the article:

” Locals last night claimed the arrested man had converted to Islam last year.

However, detectives said they had ruled out terrorism as a motive for the killing. “

“Locals last night claimed the arrested man had converted to Islam last year.”

I’ll go out on a limb and guess that he must be one of those “moderate” muslims.

Not being able to defend ones life and/or the life of ones family sucks. Even the cops can’t defend themselves so how can they protect others. I don’t know that everyone should arm themselves but they should at least have the option to do so.
