Balance, objectivity and order is the only way forward. Lurching to extremes gets us nowhere.

Agreed but we don't ever move forward ...

There isn't any place in society for individuals or groups that perform heinous criminal acts on their victims. However, we'll waste time and an awful lot of money to protect the perpetrators on the pretence that they are paying their dues to society. It's absurdly unbalanced.

Are you angry about what happened?

The killer turns 18 in about 20 days, whilst I understand the law on releasing information on people under the age of 18, we live in a world (for better or worse) where information is easily accessible in the blink of an eye, his name, home address & even his brother's details have been leaked online.

Perhaps releasing the killers name earlier (considering he is days away from being 18 anyway) would have helped release some of the pressure that has been building the past few days.

I don't expect some on here to understand the next part but I'll post anyway.
This is by no means a definitive list & more a list of things that have run through my mind as I'm sat here typing on my phone & I know the pedants will be all over it with their akshually (deliberate meme) dross.

For the best part of 20 years anyone who challenges the narrative that diversity is a strength has had to turn a blind eye to being demonised, labelled a Nazi, milkshaked, cancelled, witness churches burning across europe, churches being converted into mosques, told not to look back in anger as children are blown up, witnessed the industrialised rape of 500,000 white girls, prison time for saying it's ok to be white, labelled derogatory racist terms such as Gammon, the destruction of historical statues, be lectured to that to be English is nothing more than a feeling, witness the rapid decline in quality of life in our towns & cities, have investigations into grooming gangs withheld from the public, black lives matter nonsense, trans nonsense, the balkanisation of Britain happening in real time.

The straw that appears to finally have broken the camels back is innocent sweet little girls being knifed to death in what is quite clearly a terrorist attack, when you pre meditate such a thing travel to said location & go after the most vulnerable in our society it sends a clear message that no one is safe here, it's also an attack on the future of this country.

It doesn't matter if it was a mosque, an asylum seeker centre, a police station or the houses of parliament that was targeted,
When you have a mass of people who have completely given up on the political process, a people so utterly disenfranchised by it all it's a miracle it's taken this long & even then we're talking about 100 or so people lobbing bricks at the police & setting fire to a police van, of course the go to is for posters to come on here wishing death on other posters, the usual cliche insults of neo nazi etc all being thrown around.

The Tories & Labour have got us to where we are now, wish death on them not your fellow poster.

About the bone heads deciding to attack a mosque and the police? Less anger than disgust at their stupidity, lack of respect and lack of sensitivity.

What on earth do they think they were trying to achieve?

About what happened to the children? Again anger isn’t the right word. I feel very sad for the loss of young innocent life and for the impact it must have on those who loved them, and the wider local community.

About the perpetrator? Again anger isn’t the right word. Feeling anger isn’t going to help anyone. Trying to understand what caused anyone to commit such a heinous crime is much more important. I find it hard to believe that anyone capable of doing something like that is mentally stable but want to see what the investigations now being carried out reveal. Until then I don’t feel anger. I feel relief they are in custody and incapable of causing anymore death, pain and suffering.

You are not angry?
