RAF Marham 'kidnap attempt'

symyjym · Jul 21, 2016

"Officers said he was approached by two men as he was out jogging near the married quarters at RAF Marham in Norfolk on Wednesday.

He was threatened with a knife and attempts were made to grab him before both men fled in a car, officers said.

The victim, who was not in uniform, was unharmed."

That was someone slitting their own wrists in the street.

Terror has now hit Brazil. I thought South America was pretty safe from Islamic terrorism?

Daily Mail online is a strange beast of click bait. All the moral values that the paper publication seem to champion are lost in a sea of gossip and celebrity.

And the page reporting the mayhem has a link to this important bit of news . . .

That said, the actual original event, which has been turned into a freak show by 'dilution' by the Mail, is very concerning. Who'd be in the forces these days, with a chance of being subjected to (well, who knows what? Not good) this, when going for a private run? Meanwhile, folk like us emote on a football board while the square root of **** all is being done about the poison out there. How unbelievably complacent this sounds, now:

I like how the police "swooped"

OK so that story to which you refer is in the same paper -so what? Did the paper link it to RAF Marham? How do you know nothing is being done - how can you possibly be in a position to make such a statement?

Righty O, gamble time. I have not yet read the thread, but I await the 'but the Police say it may or may not be terrorism related' type comments.

Always a prime target for muggers, servicemen out running with no wallet etc on their person, NOT!

The original article was about the event. The page had links to trivia. That doesn't seem right to me. That was my first point.

Correct, I know nothing about what is being done. But that does not mean something (effective) is being done. About wild fire atrocities, I mean. Given that they keep happening, I suggest that if something is being done, it isn't working (well enough).

But I have no idea what can and should be done, either. I find it all frightening and depressing. Any suggestions? I'm not demanding that you provide any, by the way. :shrug:

RAF Marham 'kidnap attempt'

Why the inverted commas? Do you not believe it was a kidnap attempt?

Copied straight off the BBC headline.

Quite.

I'm guessing the Police cannot state was is obvious to everyone until it's, well, evidently obvious beyond doubt. I guess their version of 'beyond doubt' has to be a bit stricter than ours.

Are you suggesting that Police should call it out as terrorism despite their not being enough evidence to do so? Perhaps the police should do this in other situations too.

Personally i am glad that the police's version of beyond reasonable doubt is stricter than yours.

Still, may as well leap to conclusions to fit the narrative.

It may well not be an act of Islamic terrorism. But what is it that makes you want it not to be Islamic so much?
