Reading that the hostage taker in a Texas Synagogue attack who was shot dead by police was from Blackburn. Oh dear

His family are saying he had mental health issues aren't they?
He was trying to get the US to release a female terrorist they've got locked up over there.

Hang on a minute. Surely it was the terrorist who was shot dead, not a hostage.

At a time when you want community cohesion. Rather than condemn the actions of the individual, a group on Facebook have said the highest level in paradise should be reserved for him.

If he's from Blackburn I suppose anything is an improvement.

There's an argument that anyone who wishes to harm or kill multiple innocent people must have some sort of mental illness.
It's certainly seems the very small percentage of folk that think its normal or ok to think or do otherwise.

It does sound like this bloke was seriously mentally ill, begs the question how/why was he allowed to travel,buy a gun etc etc.

Spot on, his family claim he had mental health issues, yet
He planned all this up whilst in the UK, he then flew to America Sought out guns and bought them from a street dealer. He then pretended to be homeless so he could gain access to the synagogue. When inside he took four people hostage making pre- planned demands for a prisoner release. On top of all this his family knowing he had metal health issues never alerted anyone he'd just boarded a plane to America........B/S

Strange thing mental health, take for instance the m&s attack in burnley with a knife, no mental health issues around his own area but they appeared when he was in a mainly white shop!!

It seems the bloke was a nutter. Used to present himself at courts when no reason to be there to shout Islamic anti Western bile and referring to 911.
Scary how he could just get over to USA with a criminal record and then easily acquire a gun.

If that's true, he should have been arrested years ago or sectioned.

Serious question. what did you mean from 'street dealer'. I'm assuming you mean he bought the gun illegally, but I don't like assuming.
I've tried finding where he was able to get the weapon but haven't found it yet.

Being an active member of the Labour Party, or indeed the Tory Party etc, means next to nothing about party values in towns or cities with large number of people of Pakistani/Bangladeshi origin. It's all about Biradari clan politics. How do I know this? Asian people who hate it have told me so.

Doesn’t really matter which town he resided in. The guy was a dangerous threat to decent law abiding people and the Americans probably did us all a favour by ending his existence.

I agree. Also, he should have been of some sort of watch list, especially for international travel.

Next time you’re on the Turf, have a wander round. Within half a mile you can reach Queens Park, Thompson Park, Towneley Park and Hall and Rowley. All beautiful. Can you say anything similar about Blackburn?

Maybe you should be on a watch list!!!
In fact the outskirts and countryside around both is very nice.
There are many run down towns in the North and Midlands.
