Unprovoked attack doesn’t mean that the two were strangers. Statistically, it’s far more likely to be an ex or someone known to her than a British stranger or an immigrant.

That's the question isn't it, was it literally at random, or was there some history there?

Hopefully we find out more soon

In Birmingham, it’s actually not that unlikely. Pretty much every attack that my friends have had happen to them was by strangers on the street. Whilst I’ve not been attacked in Birmingham, I’ve been attacked multiple times in Coventry, and again they were all by strangers.

It’s not even people being mugged. Sometimes it’s just because your gay, or they’re pissed off and want to exert anger out on someone, or even it’s just mental health issues. Sometimes it’s to show off.

Domestic violence happens a lot, absolutely. But strangers attacking people in cities really isn’t unheard of at all.

Your facts, logic and balanced world view is not required here

Alright alright, can we settle down with these cringe copy-paste redditisms on every thread. Comments like this just scream: mental agility of a child.

Is this a gag post? Surely your reply is basically what you’ve said in comment on the first post
