Two children killed in London knife attack, UK police say
2024-07-30
[IsraelTimes] Two children were stabbed to death at a Taylor Swift-themed event in northwest England, and a 17-year-old male suspect was arrested, police said on Monday.

He was held on suspicion of murder and attempted murder. Nine other children were maimed, six of them critically, and two adults were at death's door.

"We believe that the adults who were injured were bravely trying to protect the children," said Chief Constable Serena Kennedy from Merseyside Police.
It’s apparently the county that contains Liverpool.
She said emergency services arriving at the scene found “multiple people, many of whom were children, had been subjected to a ferocious attack and had suffered serious injuries.”

An advertisement posted online described the event as a yoga and dance workshop for children aged between 6 and 11.

Merseyside Police said the motive for the attack was unclear, but it was not believed to be terrorism-related and they were not looking for anyone else in connection with the stabbings.
An un-institutionalized nutter running amok?
Police said armed police arrested the suspect and seized a knife after being called around 11:50 a.m. (1050 GMT) to an address in Southport, north of Liverpool.


… it is now open season on children. Did Western leaders think their children would be spared? What did think would happen when they imported millions of jihadis?

The Geller link adds:
A 17-year-old Ali Al-Shakati from Banks has been arrested in connection with the Southport stabbings and is currently in police custody.

The suspect in the Southport stabbings, Ali-Al-Shakati, was on the MI6 watch list and known to Liverpool mental health services. He was an asylum seeker who arrived in the UK by boat last year.
Betcha guessed that was coming, didn't you?
None of the news sources I checked had that information, for some reason. Good find, Fred — now I can move it from Non-WoT to Page 1: WoT.

#5  Some confusion, indeed. Skidmark’s Fox News link reports qbout the knifeman:

…both the AP and the Sun report that the suspect was born in Cardiff, Wales.

The Sun reported that the parents of the suspected attacker, born in 2006, moved to the United Kingdom from Rwanda.

A neighbor of the family described them to the Sun as Christians, "very normal," and having a "hard-working father and stay-at-home mother."


About the riot:

The English town of Southport was the scene of clashes between protesters and police the day after the death of at least three girls in a mass stabbing inflicted by an unnamed 17-year-old male.

The victims, Alice Dasilva Aguiar, 9, Elsie Dot Stancombe, 7, and Bebe King, 6, were attending a Taylor Swift-themed dance class at the time of the attack.

North West Ambulance Services reported via X that 22 police officers have been treated, and at least 11 have been taken to the hospital in the wake of the Southport riots. At least one police van has been set ablaze by the crowds. A source describes the town as "quiet."

It is unclear what punishments protesters may face. Police vans and garbage bins have been set ablaze in the melee.


Interesting times, government-inflicted.
