London sword attack - Attacker 'rammed pedestrian before killing boy & severing cop’s hand'

THIS is the moment a sword-wielding maniac ploughed a van into a pedestrian before allegedly going on a rampage killing a 14-year-old.
Five people including two police officers were knifed in the terrifying frenzy, with a female cop almost losing her hand while battling to stop the attacker.
The schoolboy victim has been named locally as Daniel Anjorin.
Police chased the attacker through gardens before he was floored by three 50,000-volt Taser bolts.
A 36-year-old man was later arrested on suspicion of murder. The suspect was last night under guard in hospital.
Video shows the moment he was injured when he crashed his Ford van into a house before the carnage in Hainault, North East London.

Killing a 14 year old with a sword terrorising the neighbours. If this is not a terrorist attack, then what is?

[@cleytoncabral8616]

it is not a terrorist attack because the psycopath is WHITE. If he was couloured or a recent immigrant then it would have been classed as an acto of terrorism.

[@billybatts8283]

How simple are you? Do you just live in the Uslessversity spoiled brat bubble? Terrorism does not mean terrifying attack. That's every attack. Terrorism is a stratergy to achieve the objective of political, sociological and ideological change and control over a society. What was his objective? Does he have a manifesto? What group did he belong to? Have any taken responsibility? You see the difference between that and sole man goes mad with sword..... Terrorism is not related to race, religion or politics. It's a tactic that can be adopted by anyone.

[@mohammedjafer9265]

the only use that 'term' when it benefits them so unfortunate for the child

[@SonarFates]

Despite what the word seems to be, to be classed as terrorism it needs to have a political motive. Counterintuitively, terrorism is not just spreading terror.

[@jamessmith84240]

If you look up the definition of the word terrorism, it has to have some sort of political aim or affiliation with a wider cause. A crazy person attacking people at random does not fall under such definition. "Terrorism - the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims."

For any action we take now, we will be called extremist, conspiracy theorist, terrorists. Even though with the last pandemic it's clear to see who the evil ones are. They are even admiting it in some cases. They tried to force evryone to take the jab and shut down people telling the facts. So many people have had their lives changed or ended because of the government's lies. Same with mad cow disease. Same with those who contracted aids through blood transfusions. All they do is lie to suit their narrative, until now, they don't even bother to try hiding it, because they know we won't do anything about it. ✌🏼

[@Technological_Monkey]

Well firstly, the police response was commendable with their effective coordination and use of tasers. However, there seemed to be a lapse in the subsequent handling of the suspect, as they should have promptly applied heavy restraints given the evident threat to life. Despite the absence of firearms, the situation warranted decisive action. It's apparent that concerns about potential legal repercussions may have hindered the officers' actions, highlighting the need to alleviate such worries from policing. We must reinstate confidence in law enforcement to ensure public safety, rather than relying on alternative, less effective means. Additionally, if there's a shift towards limiting parental disciplinary authority, then it becomes imperative to empower law enforcement to appropriately discipline individuals as adults. This includes ensuring that police officers have the necessary support and authority to maintain order and safety in communities effectively.
