It always seems to be the Islamophobes and bigots who love to speculate (without any hard evidence).

This is what you 2 are afraid of- that people like me are right concerning the dangers of Islam. Every time islam farks up it makes you do-gooders look stupid and misguided.

Oh, so it's definitely Muslim terrorists now is it Double?

There's only one terrorist Mothra.

No. There isn't.

In this instance Mothra.

In what instance? What information do you have that the rest of us do not?

So it's 2 terrorists then. You win.

Nowhere has it been reported that there are any terrorists.

Correct.

However, he now claims that it's merely his personal opinion that it's a terrorist attack, based on the "fact" that someone said that one of the deceased was wearing black.

This is despite him claiming, just minutes earlier, that he's "just going on what the media is reporting".

He's all over the place.

Perhaps he's hearing voices.

Well there was reporting of a shooting and two people dead, there was a reporting that special constables returned fire, there was reporting that one of the fellows was wearing a black cape and there was reporting that intelligence had been recieved warning of the attack.

It is not from that unexpected that someone could form an opinion that the religion of peace has been at it again.

Read this again: "I'm just going on what the media is reporting".

No media outlet has reported this as a terrorist attack.

Hehehe, I appreciate your attempt at parsing, but it is possible to form an opinion based on what the media is reporting that does not involve just parroting what the media is reporting.

People can make assumptions, can use past experiences and information and make a prediction, to extrapolate and connect events.

Or you could just wait for the facts to emerge.

Yeah, God forbid on a political forum with breaking news that someone should speculate. Roll Eyes

Surely then you expect your speculation to be questioned?

If you can't be a good example, you have to be a horrible warning.

That wasn't about anything but wanting to stick up for Muslims. Grin

Then, in the immortal words of Bobby, we'll show 'em the rope - affiliations regardless!

But what's the bet?

Seems that now there was one attacker and one victim, both shot dead. The victim is described as an "IT worker" and "an employee of the Police". No info yet on the attacker. He was wearing black clothing, not robes, according to several witness statements.

From the information presently available, it would appear that it was either a personal argument between the two men or perhaps a disgruntled member of the public who apparently had some interaction with the police beforehand or even perhaps the dreaded lone-wolf Terrorist. Information is too scanty at the moment. Roll Eyes

Someone said we could not judge a person's Aboriginality on their skin colour. Why isn't that applied in the matter of Pascoe? Tsk, tsk, tsk... Roll Eyes

Okay. How about shutting up until we know, and no stupid dumbarse prejudiced speculation. Too much to ask?
