Terrorism is one possible motive being explored,

The per's name is Abdul or Mohammed and he was yelling "Allahu Akbar!" so it is unlikely but remotely possible that terrorism might have been a motive.

I know exactly where that is. I stayed at The Hotel Russell which is right across the street from the park, and not that far from the British Museum. Great hotel.

Here in the middle of Iowa; the attacker would instantly find out the meaning of concealed carry if such a thing was attempted.

I’m generalizing.....but they really aren’t. Lived there all through the 90’s. The public is incredibly brainwashed by their media. And the BBC HATES the US.

“...a man with a knife...” Too politically correct to call the enemy by name....an Islamic terrorist....a blood thirsty jihadist

Let's not jump to xenophobic conclusions. The motivation of the alleged attacker will eventually be fully clarified, as long as we keep in mind that the literal translation of Allahu Akhbar is

This has nothing to do with Islam.

And yesterday a Brit told me that terrorism was not a big problem. The real problem was Trump. They’re as stupid as we are - maybe more so!

The major European news organizations have almost completely ignored the knife-car-truck political murders of Israeli citizens by Palestinians.

Now that English and French citizens are being murdered by Muslim fanatics, too, reap the whirlwind, Europeans!
