The vast majority seem to have been on drugs at some point. Maybe they affect the brain in a way that makes some people highly suggestible.

Highly suggestible to a certain religious tenet...;)

It's gotten so bad now, that the Metropolitan Police have started a Public Safety Announcement campaign for the ongoing terrorist attacks...

Vae, chill.
This kind of thing is just "part of our daily lives for the years to come", in the words of Emmanuel Macron.

Stabbings? How quaint. I guess U.K.'s gun control is more effective than some people claim.

http://news.met.police.uk/news/statement-on-london-bridge-and-borough-market-terror-attacks-244605) Statement on London Bridge and Borough Market terror attacks
Quote:
“Since late yesterday evening [Saturday, 3 June], the Metropolitan Police Service has been responding to incidents in the London Bridge and Borough Market areas of south London. We are treating this as a terrorist incident and a full investigation is already underway, led by the Met's Counter Terrorism Command."
You will understand that our knowledge of the incident is still growing but what we understand at the present time is:
- At 22:08hrs yesterday evening we began to receive reports that a vehicle had struck pedestrians on London Bridge.
- The vehicle continued to drive from London Bridge to Borough Market.
- The suspects then left the vehicle and a number of people were stabbed, including an on-duty British Transport Police officer who was responding to the incident at London Bridge. He received serious but not life-threatening injuries. His family has been informed.
- Armed officers responded very quickly and bravely, confronting three male suspects who were shot and killed in Borough Market. The suspects had been confronted and shot by the police within eight minutes of the first call. The suspects were wearing what looked like explosive vests but these were later established to be hoaxes.
“The ongoing operation is led by the Met, working closely with British Transport Police, City of London Police, the London Ambulance Service and the London Fire Brigade."
“At this stage, we believe that six people have died in addition to the three attackers shot dead by police. And at least 20 casualties have been taken to six hospitals across London."

This kind of stuff is starting to occur so often, that you become numb to it after a while.
We had the Ariana Grande concert bombing, this, the car thing near Big Ben earlier.
Note I'm not saying that this isn't a horrible thing in the slightest. Just saying that you become numb to it all after a while, when it starts to occur so often.

You might.
I'm betting these guys aren't connected to the Manchester but chose to go for it in response to that.

Yeah, a knife to the liver is quaint.
Asshole.
There is a total legend on BBC telling how he chased and threw things at the attackers.
I predict a change in behaviour; people will start taking these guys on en masse and beating them, perhaps to death. Just like in Israel where civilians sometimes take on terrorists.
