Comment on UK allocates £250m for policing in Jewish communities
flamingos@feddit.uk 2 days agoHe literally stabbed the guy. What do you mean “tried to”?
The friend fended off the attack.
8 whole miles? Is real life like GTA where your wanted level disappears if you travel 8 miles and everyone forgets about your crimes if you don’t get caught?
Now you’re being a prick. If he was stabbing people only because of his mental illness, then why didn’t he stab anyone travelling between Southwark and Golders Green? Did it conveniently only reactivate when he saw man wearing kippah.

Source? Reports say he got stabbed but got off with minor injuries. It is sill proscecuted as attempted murder.
Because he took the subway and it’s kinda difficult to get off that one???
And I just quickly looked it up and it seems it’s a direct subway line from Northern Line Borough to Brent Cross station. He essentially stepped out of the station and was at the attack location.
Then afer that stabbing he walked half a kilometer and stabbed another person.

The Standard:
He tried to stab his friend at around 8AM and didn’t arrive in Golders Green until after 11. Did he not see anyone for 2-3 hours while taking the London Underground on a weekday?

The friend did get stabbed though and was left with injuries from it.
The guy is mentally ill. Maybe he was hiding. Maybe he randomly decided to go eat a Kebab. If he was targeting Jews we’d have seen a manifesto and his wall plastered with Swastikas. And also he’d be screaming it from the rooftops
Because in an actual targeted stabbing you don’t need to guess the motive of someone with a mental illness by connecting all the dots. They’ll make it clear.

I haven’t seen anything saying he actually got stabbed, only that there was an attempt and he sustained minor injuries feeding it off. That could mean anything from the knife grazing him to him breaking his nose in the struggle.
Mentally ill people are still capable of hate crimes.
