optimist | 8 years ago | Reply Stabbings in London are quite common (we don't have guns) and almost everyday someone is stabbed. There have been two murders by knife within 24 hour of this incident. . The guy was clearly a mad guy. He had just 3 inch knife that couldn't kill anyone. People matching his description are often involved in such crimes. He is supposed to be a Muslim but has never been seen in his local mosque. Calling this a terrorist attack is a joke to say the least!!
