| #9 Strip him of any right to return to the West and send him back to Somalia where he'll fit right in. |

| #8 I don't think it makes it ok, just that it helps the search for what and who pushed him to do what he did. And decides whether he ends up in the prison psych ward or the general population. |

| #7 ...Somalis have an inbreeding problem -- so it is conceivable that he was schizophrenic/bipolar/depressed/autistic/mentally retarded... So? I don't care about excuses, he needs to be put down and the rest of the muzz sent home. |

| #6 The Daily Mail is on the story. Adding to what Bright Pebbles said: 19 year old Somali with a Norwegian passport, came to England in 2002 -- when he was five, presumably with his parents. Reported as silently running through the crowd knifing people, then it took a number of policemen to tackle him and a taser to make him stop fighting them. Like the Pakistanis, Somalis have an inbreeding problem -- so it is conceivable that he was schizophrenic/bipolar/depressed/autistic/mentally retarded, and likely that he could tick off more than one box. In terms of autism alone in the Somali population of Minneapolis, they suffer at a rate of one out of every 32, compared to one to 88 among Americans in general, and the autism is also more severe for Somalis compared to the general population. And jihadi groomers look for people who are mentally unbalanced; they are easier to get to buy into the idea of jihad, and easier to get to run amok with a knife or put on a suicide vest. Quite probably Little Mo's family have been looking for him because he wandered off, and it will turn out he's been spending a lot of time on the internet or with a friend from the mosque lately. |

| #5 He's a muzzie from Somalia who got a norwegian passport somehow and then managed to stay in the UK. Very odd for someone to be so motivated yet mentally ill? |

| #4 I'd like to know the guy's name, but the radio this morning had a British Bobbie saying "mental health appeared to be an issue". I suppose you could say that mental health is a contributing factor to anyone who shrieks 'Allan's snackbar' before committing mayhem. |

| #3 While the Mohammedans are knifing people through out the West to death, the citizens of the West should be in the process of over throwing thier "progressive" governments. |

| #2 The media are going to implement strict don't name the perp policies and say it's so they don't give them publicity for their crime. In actuality it's because they don't want you to know his first name was Abu or Mohammad. |

| #1 "terrorism was one possible motive" -slowly, but surely, the establishment clues up to reality - hey what happened to "motives are unknown"? |
