The court has ruled that there is public interest in naming Axel Muganwa Rudakubana. He turns 18 next week in any case.

The claim was being made that as the parents were Christian, their son couldn't possibly be a Muslim. I gave an example to disprove that claim. Others examples exist.
Nothing was meant one way or the other.

Re: Update: Southport attack, three children now dead.
 

Not that their son couldn't be a Muslim, but the probability being that he wasn't.

Re: Update: Southport attack, three children now dead.
 

How is it relevant ? There is no indication this attack was based on religion.

Re: Update: Southport attack, three children now dead.
 

Some people want it to be, and are disappointed when it isn’t…

Re: Update: Southport attack, three children now dead.
 

I just don't understand it, these were innocent little girls, what possible motive could there be?

Re: Update: Southport attack, three children now dead.
 

I’m going to stick my neck out and say the person who did this is soaked in online incel culture (boys and young men, don’t know how to be attractive to girls, get sucked into communities where they are taught to hate them instead, and blame them for all their unhappiness - incel = ‘involuntary celibate’).

Taylor Swift and her fans (‘swifties’) represent everything incels hate most, they are happy, strong, and promote a positive image of empowered femininity to girls and young women.

Unless the perpetrator personally knew someone there and had a personal grudge, then it seems most likely to me that it was targeted simply because the event had ‘Taylor Swift’ in its title.

:(

It’s a decent shout.

I can’t believe a young man would undertake such a heinous attack totally on his own volition, there has to have been an external influencing factor driving him to this.

Either that, or he is a completed nut job and evil personified.

The parental situation is a bit ambiguous at the moment, in so far as we know he was born to Rwandan immigrant parents in Cardiff and later moved to Southport, But where are the parents now?

Did they move to Southport? are they still with him and in his life? Does he have siblings?


I think his family life may be key to understanding his actions

Re: Update: Southport attack, three children now dead.
 

It’s reported that he lives with his parents and his older brother in a semi-detached just outside Southport (Banks) - they all moved there in 2013.

I’m going to bet nuts. Probably been on the desk of some underpaid and overworked social worker for the best part of a decade.

Re: Update: Southport attack, three children now dead.
 

Again a decent shout, if he was on any kind of register, it’ll come out in due course.

Re: Update: Southport attack, three children now dead.
 

I suspect you're right but may not have made it to that social worker's desk. Time will tell.

Oh …….turns out he was a groomed budding Islamist.

News just being released before the budget ,,,cough,,,,,that’s been sat on for months.

I wonder if any of the keyboard jockeys jailed for suggesting he was a terrorist and stirring up hatred online will be released?

The Southport attack remains not classified as a terror attack, which it now almost certainly was.
