Awol Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Not good. Is this the new terror tactic ? The extreme right wingers will be making the most of this Yes, and the French have a proper far right political movement, nothing in the UK mainstream even compares.

Dr_Pangloss Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Would be interesting to find out if this guy was influenced by the Woolwich events. It'll say a lot about the power of the media to elevate what are essentially banal events. It is them who cause the copycats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 essentially banal events. Yeah, the decapitation of a British soldier on the streets of London in broad daylight by men shouting "Allahu Akbar" is essentially a banal event. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the decapitation of a British soldier on the streets of London in broad daylight by men shouting "Allahu Akbar" is essentially a banal event. Not worthy of the 24/7 treatment. What the media did is give the killers precisely what they wanted. Any copy cat killings are on them. What would be smart, tactically, is to not report the event in any other way than your bog standard killing in this country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously the killers are at the head of the causal chain (if it wasn't for their attack there wouldn't be any chance of a copycat by definition) but the media do more than play their part in 'reporting' these things to death. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
