I think it's more likely organised crime given the time of the morning it happened, but that's just an educated guess on my part.

Yeah its only terrorism if its a brown person, muslim or a muslim sounding name involved otherwise its just perceived and described as an attack, murder, crime etc.
I’m sure what has happened today was terrifying for the victims involved and the witnesses

Not true. It is called terrorism if it is has political motivation.

Seems like a similar type of attack that’s often seen around Europe sadly. Two of the victims are students as well which suggests it’s completely random

Me too. Which one were you on? Rough as toast in parts of Lenton/Sneinton/Radford etc.
Awful news.

I used to live in the Meadows when at uni in the 90‘s, and whilst it was rough there wasn’t really any of the types of crime we’re seeing these days.
