RIP Jo Cox MP
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-36550304
Stabbed and shot. Horrific.
First MP murdered in 26 years (though there's been close calls in the meantime). Potentially if this is a mentally ill act the first sitting MP murdered for non-political reasons since the 1700's.
Thoughts with her young family and friends.

Sad news
Suspect is indeed known to suffer from psychiatric problems but psychiatric problems don't necessarily exclude political influences.
Britain First is a group of scumbags.
"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
How do you know it was for 'non-political' reasons ?
Congratulations America
He doesn't, he said that if it were non-political then it would be the first such murder of a sitting MP since the 1700s.
"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
Yeah, I see now. Still don't know why he would write that though. Seems to me that they're not releasing any information about the attacker or his motives.
Congratulations America
His info is out there. Mentally ill. Never held a full-time job. No apparent interest in politics.
Hope is the denial of reality
RIP
There are conflicting reports on whether she intervened in a scuffle or was deliberately targeted, and whether or not the murderer shouted 'Britain first!'. You'd hope that people would refrain from speculating until more is known, but apparently that's not how we roll.
There's a man goin' 'round, takin' names
And he decides who to free and who to blame
I don't but it looks possible, as the man they've arrested was mentally disturbed.
It's also the first female MP murdered.
Hardly mutually exclusive.

Of course. I would not want to speculate.
I'm hearing reports he's connected to some group of far right shitstains or other, so very much leaning towards politically motivated.
The light that once I thought compassion still casting shadows in your action
The words you shared were cold transactions that bring me to curse what you've done
When you're up there absorbed in greatness with such success you've grown complacent
I hope you scorch your many faces when you fly too close to the sun
I've heard all sorts of reports, from that to that Jo wasn't even the target and intervened and got killed for it, to other stories. We don't know. Not seen much in the way of evidence though except that the arrested guy is definitely mentally ill (which doesn't preclude anything else).
Maybe one of his opponents once ran a campaign add with some kind of targeting sign on it and that's what set off the shooter. That would make it the Torie's fault.
Last night as I lay in bed, looking up at the stars, I thought, “Where the hell is my ceiling?"

Political and crazy. Tragic.
That's a pretty frequent combination.

Actually a lot of people like to brand someone as mentally ill based on the fact they are willing to kill. This guy may be mentally ill but without actual scientific proof of mental illness (actual brain scans) we shouldn't jump to that conclusion. Someone people are just evil - they aren't mentally ill, they are just evil.
He's been getting mental health treatment for decades.
Hope is the denial of reality
"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
Just goes to show how cunning he is, he had those bleeding-heart liberals fooled all those years.
"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
Why is he crazy for wanting British independence and millions of voters not? With the leader of the out campaign saying you're up against Hitler's dream of a European Reich then it is only a small step to think your country is worth armed resistence.
Congratulations America
Dude... dude, no.
"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
I was making a general point - I haven't looked at the guy's history. It seems like certain folks though seem to think that any sort of lone wolf attacks are always due to mental illness.
yeh but you know, ACTUAL brain scans
That's not what he said
That's not what he saidIs what he said literally. Have fun spending the rest of your sunday proving how the exact order of the letters does not imply he's equating the EU to another go at Hitler's dream. Let me give you a starter; he mentions Napoleon and mentions other means. So that must mean he's not implying it at all.Napoleon, Hitler, various people tried this out, and it ends tragically. The EU is an attempt to do this by different methods.
Congratulations America
ooooh, let me try:
"Göbbels, Baghdadi Bob, various people tried to put lipstick on a pig and it ended tragically. RandBlade is attempting to do this by different methods."
When the stars threw down their spears
And watered heaven with their tears:

Did he who made the lamb make thee?

Let's not muddy the waters more than we must.
