A man in London, England was arrested on Christmas morning after he jumped a sidewalk and crashed into a crowd of people, sending four to the hospital.

The 31-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, according to the BBC. One pedestrian was in life-threatening condition from the incident.

The man was driving on the wrong side of the road in London’s West End theatre district around 12:45 a.m. when he drove into pedestrians.

Reportedly, police are treating it as an isolated incident and said that it was not related to terrorism.

He might be Moslem, but we aren’t supposed to think of that. He’s just a random man, with no known motive. It’s just a car accident, apparently, is what we are to believe

I know, right?

Before even any preliminary investigation, how can they rule out terrorism?

From the article, but note this is NOT the party involved in this loss, but shows the complete duplicity of the press in these incidents:

The authorities described Abdulmohsen as an “untypical attacker” who did not align with radical Islamic extremism and instead advocated for more restrictions on immigration from Islamic countries, according to a BBC report.

The Wall Street Journal reported that the suspect was on law enforcement’s radar, showing a series of chilling signs in the years before the incident. As Townhall noted, in an August 2023 post on X, Abdulmohsen asked his followers whether they “would blame me if I kill 20 Germans.”

He was probably a disgruntled Scottish Presbyterian.

He was a drunk who had just been involved in a fight in a bar. So we can’t really say.

"The man was driving on the wrong side of the road..."

Lots of people do that when they get off a transatlantic flight and are extremely tired and disoriented from the eight time zone change jet lag. It's happened to me. It happened to me once in Manchester, but fortunately I didn't drive onto the sidewalk and "plough" into people.

That's got to be it, right?

"The authorities described Abdulmohsen as an “untypical attacker” who did not align with radical Islamic extremism and instead advocated for more restrictions on immigration from Islamic countries, according to a BBC report."

This is the same line the authorities gave us about the recent attack in Germany - a Muslim who supposedly opposes more Islamic immigration, and his form of protest is to ram a car into a random group of strangers rather than attack a government office or public infrastructure. "Yeah, that's the ticket!!" I'm not buying it.

Based on what’s in the article, it sounds like the government is trying to transform a jihadist into a right-wing immigration opponent.
