In this video from the Wesley Winter channel, a protest in London, labeled by some as a ‘Far Right’ demonstration, is covered.
A 17-year-old boy has been charged with the murder of three young girls in a stabbing attack at a dance class in Southport, northwest England[1][2][3]. The victims were identified as Bebe King (6), Elsie Dot Stancombe (7), and Alice Dasilva Aguiar (9), who were attending a Taylor Swift-themed class when the attack occurred[3][5]. The suspect, who cannot be named due to his age, has been charged with three counts of murder, ten counts of attempted murder, and possession of a bladed article[3][5]. He appeared briefly in court wearing a gray tracksuit and is scheduled to appear before a more senior judge to address potential bail application[4].
The attack took place at a Taylor Swift-themed yoga and dance workshop which was being held at the Hart Space, a community studio in the Meols Cop area of Southport. Twenty-five children were in attendance. The attacker stabbed a total of eleven children – three fatally – and two adults. All three fatalities were girls, two of whom died at the scene, while the third died in hospital the following day. Five of the eight injured children and both injured adults were in critical condition following the stabbing.
The suspect in the Southport attack is not a migrant. He was born in Cardiff, Wales, and is the son of Rwandan immigrants who came to the UK before his birth[6][7][8]. Authorities have confirmed that he is British-born, countering rumors that he was an asylum seeker[7][8].
The suspect has been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and was reportedly reluctant to leave the house or communicate with family.
The debate over whether more guns can prevent killings is highly contentious. Proponents argue that armed citizens can stop violent acts, while opponents cite evidence suggesting that increased gun ownership correlates with higher rates of gun violence.
