Why not terrorism charges? Or his face doesn't fit the bill?! Should be one rule for all
#doublestandards#LondonAcidAttack -
Terrorism requires a political or religious motive. The mosque van attack by a white non-Muslim man was rightly treated as terrorism.
-
In this case the perpetrators actions were exactly that of the white van driver. Hatred against Muslims and that is political also religious
-
It was caused by hate but that doesn't mean terrorism automatically. Additional charges may be added. I'm just glad they finally got him.
-
hate is terrorism. No doubt about that. Since he is non muslim, it doesn't applied automatically!
-
There have been Muslims who have thrown acid and it wasn't treated as terrorism, because it wasn't. This case may turn out to be terrorism.
-
targeting people for their background or how they dress is terrorism. Period.
-
No that's the definition of a hate crime. This might be terrorism, it depends what other proof there is - it can be both.

The maximum sentence for an acid attack is life imprisonment. Which hopefully is what he will get.

So no premeditated attempted murder?!
-
The maximum sentence in acid attacks is life imprisonment anyway, thankfully, and hopefully that's what he gets.

Awful, so many acid attacks in London recently

Really? First I've read about. .

You clearly haven't been reading much then
-
More to the point.. it's not being reported.. Only know of the recent attack on a male and female
-
It IS being reported. TV presenter Katie Piper, some boys at a station, a man in a cinema, a woman at her front door, an "honour" attack.
-
Yes, all covered by MSM. Katie Piper has had TV shows broadcast in the UK & US (4, ABC, OWN) in which she's spoken about the attack on her.
