You doubtlessly remember the horrific tragedy out of England over the summer when an Ethiopian kid (I have to say allegedly) stabbed multiple little girls at a Taylor Swift-themed dance party:
The United Kingdom was left shaken after three children were stabbed to death and eight others were injured in a knife attack in Southport, in one of the worst assaults against children in the country in decades.
The suspected assailant, Axel Muganwa Rudakubana, was reportedly from Rwanda, though it was strangely hard to learn anything about him, insofar as the police were apparently rounding up people who made "inaccurate" posts about the stabbings:
But hey, look, the police are sort of doing their jobs over there - turns out they've learned some pretty key information about the guy:
'Axel Rudakubana already faces three charges of murder, 10 charges of attempted murder and one charge of possession of a knife - all relating to the incident at Hart Street, Southport on 29 July 2024. ...
The additional charges are:
Production of a biological toxin, namely ricin, contrary to Section 1 of the Biological Weapons Act 1974.
Possessing information, namely a pdf file entitled "Military Studies in the Jihad Against the Tyrants: The Al-Qaeda Training Manual" of a kind likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism, contrary to Section 58 of the Terrorism Act 2000."
So a fellow from an African country went on a maniac stabbing spree while also planning a deadly bio-attack and studying "jihad against the tyrants."
Sounds like something that the British authorities might have been aware of before this killer crossed the line from loner to kid-killer.
Ahhh, but don't worry, though - the police are really taking this seriously!
'At this time, Counter Terrorism Policing has not declared the attack on Monday 29 July a terrorist incident. I recognise that the new charges, may lead to speculation. The matter for which Axel Rudakubana has been charged with under the Terrorism Act does not require motive to be established. For a matter to be declared a terrorist incident, motivation would need to be established.'
Sadly par for the course for England these days.
