Unfolding news, attack in Nottingham

I live in Nottingham (suburbs) and know all the areas mentioned on the news Ilkeston Road and Magdala Road aren't the best areas. It is an awful situation, though.

I don’t really know Oreo except it grates on me. I think it maybe that it seems to be a patronising attempt to reassure us by saying it’s only a lone wolf attack. Maybe that’s why it grates, but I’m not sure, it just does.

west african migrant with a violent history

west african migrant with a violent history

Why is anyone with a violent history free to roam around - and I'm not specifically talking about this incident, the details of which I know nothing?

It just boggles my mind the number of cases where the perpetrator of a violent act has a long history of violence, but after serving some paltry sentence, is then released. What happens during their incarceration to make them safe to go back into society?

On the other hand, a woman who is no danger to anyone but herself, gets a two year prison sentence for breaking the law on abortion - not that I'm minimising the offence - but how is that sentence justified when some who commit acts of violence are given similar sentences, on a regular basis? Because they are regularly violent?

But, I'm not commenting on this case - little is known about what happened and I'm not speculating on it... just the wider aspect of the number of those committing violent crimes who are frequent offenders.

You are, doubtless, well meaning but we aren’t saying anything that isn’t being said on the news. Warnings about posting on social media usually relates to people posting what they know as opposed to what’s already out there. Crimes are discussed on the news channels extensively but they only broadcast what’s allowed. If I knew this individual’s name and posted it then I, daresay, I’d be in contempt until his name is released.

Totally agree with you Dickens. Of course we don’t know if this individual has been in prison or how his violent history has manifested itself.

That’s why I said he shouldn’t be here Forsythia. If we had a proper immigration system that actually checked who was coming into the country we might avoid some of this.

Let’s face it even after a migrant commits a crime like this they aren’t deported and if the government tried there would be plenty trying to stop it. It’s utter madness. The young students were only 19 and the other victim, in his 50’s, just found dead in the road. Utterly shocking.

Magdala Road, where the poor man was found dead, and his van stolen to knock over the other people, has a Best Western hotel on the corner - all illegal immigrants housed there. Just saying.......

There lies the problem: checking. The vast proportion of people coming here to seek asylum come from countries that don’t have a 21st century IT system.
In Afghanistan many births are not registered

we cannot say anything about that west african violent migrant.

Obviously things need to be sorted in this country and pdq

So nobody should be allowed in this country if they have no ID or paperwork. We all know people smugglers tell them to throw these in the sea so that should be an end to it! No ID …. You’re not coming in.

Why does this whole thread read like:

Let's wait to see if this is a minority we don't like

Yes it is!

Send them all home!!!!11

There’s a lot of members here who might like the comments I make. Why in your mind is an immigrant with a violent history walking our streets killing innocent young students and others. Why do you think it’s acceptable?
