    I recall the Islamists that carried out the attack on the Moscow theatre. I don't remember too much outrage (globally) after the perpetrators had clearly been absolutely battered, maybe it's one thing the Russians got correct, obviously open to debate. Vile crimes are deserving of tough tough measures IMHO, which involves more than locked up with their radicalised pals in strangeways etc.

    Helen, a neighbour of the family while they lived in Cardiff, has spoken of her shock, and said the family had come from Rwanda.

    She told the BBC: "They were a lovely young couple. They were little boys, they were boisterous. Mum was a stay at home mum, Dad was nice, he went to work every day. They had a small family car, a little hatchback."

    Detectives from Counter Terrorism Policing North West are actively providing support to the investigation, the BBC understands, although police said the incident is not currently being treated as terror-related.

    They said a name shared on social media in connection with the suspect is "incorrect", adding: "We would urge people not to speculate on details of the incident while the investigation is ongoing."
    Bit of info on the family from a former neighbour. Hardly feel like a threat to the nation. I wonder what’s gone wrong in this lads life to lead him to do this horrible thing to a bunch of happy little girls. I can’t get any work done. It’s really upsetting.

    Locking them away is counterproductive, they simply spend time in jail and radicalise others, I dont think we will ever bring back the death penalty but some of these monsters on our streets and in the jails would be far better hung and forgotten about. That Choudary is going to cost a fortune to hold in Frankland, hang him. He has blood on his hands

    Evil indeed. No mercy for the perpetrator. We can't tolerate this kind of assault,particularly on our children. A legal precedent requires to be set.
    Carry a knife,jail for life.....and it must mean life, no chance of release. Starmer's got the power he wanted.....stop bleating about overcrowded prisons and build a San Quentin to house these people..... somewhere out in the North Sea will do.

    Unrest 'hijacks grief' of families
    Violent protests broke out in Southport hours after the vigil was held.

    At about 19:45 BST on Tuesday, demonstrators gathered and engaged in a stand-off with police officers.

    Officers were pelted with bricks and a police van was set on fire, Merseyside Police said.

    The force said eight of its officers sustained serious injuries.

    In total, 27 officers were taken to hospital, and 12 were treated and discharged at the scene, the ambulance service said.

    Police said the violence was believed to have involved English Defence League supporters.

    The town's MP, Patrick Hurley, described the violence - close to a mosque - as "horrific", saying those involved had “hijacked the grief” of families.

    On Wednesday morning, dozens of local residents with brushes and shovels helped with the clean-up operation after the protests.

    Normal Wallis, chief executive of Southport Pleasureland, praised the "fantastic" response from the community.

    He added: "It's horrendous what those hooligans have done last night. It was like a war scene. People from out of town just causing absolute mayhem."

    Aye when it comes to knife crime I am in agreement. MF cutting around streets with machetes on a daily basis. You go in any city you can see them. They walk with straight leg limp or have a leather strap across one shoulder. Rats. Need greater stop and search powers and give the law more power.

    Mate I’ve known 14 year olds order zombie knives on wish, delivered free m Holland. What’s going on when that can happen. They’re kids with kids minds and a lack of understanding and consequential thinking. Fantasists in many ways. Kids basically. Why is it so easy for them to get this **** delivered to their door ? Why even do adults need this? This world is stupid. Trade requires intervention at all levels.

    My first post in this issue - that fb paste has restored my faith in my fellow British citizens.
    True Christian spirit of ‘love thy neighbour’
    Why do sooo many hate ‘others’ sooo much.
    The killings make me weep . . .
    The hatred tears at my soul :emoticon-0101-sadsm

    This whole affair has been so sickening I've mostly avoided the news.

    One thing that seems to have happened is that people who claim the media manipulate the news to fool people ...
