Yeah, because other than you an I, the police might be looking for patterns, that hint to an attack or "just" a shooting between two idiots or an armed robbery... But some people just always know better! >sigh< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But some people just always know better! >sigh< Well I sincerely hope they are still looking for those patterns because, otherwise, it might seem to be a tad foolish to definitively state that it wasn't something before actually knowing. I am not even hinting that it was a terrorist attack. I just like to avoid pre-emptive statements. sigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dick dasterdly Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 To be fair, they could well be right insofar as it could be 'obviously gang' related? Even so, I find it very odd that there is so little information available on the subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OJAS Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I always thought of Kingsbury to be a reasonably safe part of London when I lived in the UK up to 10 years ago. In view of this particular incident and the one involving the beating-up of a local 90-year-old OAP in her own bed a couple of months ago, though, I am no longer so sure:- https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/latest-news/708229/brent-attack-woman-iris-warner-battered-london-crime-news-met-police Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
