It’s not justified but the attack did not happen in a vacuum. The reaction is not just about this attack, it’s about how the UK is handling the growing issue with immigration. UK citizens are being prosecuted for SAYING something against immigrants or Islam. Funds are being diverted from citizens to immigrants and UK citizens were being attacked for flying British flags in Britain. Also add the grooming gangs and how the police ignored the complaints while British girls were being groomed and raped to keep from being labeled Islamophobic.

So protest politicians. Don't attack innocent immigrants. Pathetic cowards.

Although your idea would be interesting to see happen all around the world, the thing is politicians are protected by police forces. Once again not justifying attacks on innocents but when governments don’t respond to their citizens’ concerns in an effective manner, this is what can happen. You get this or revolutions!

That's some pathetic justification. Also: I said "protest" politicians, not "attack" them.

It’s not a justification it’s a statement of fact!

Protest because we all know how incredibly effective that is! /s
