I hear two of the three dead are hotel staff.
As someone that often works alone at night, I'm glad my boss has kept the hotel locked down rather than cash in by housing the homeless.
My work is only a few blocks away so not next to it but still glad I'm just locked up in an empty place. |

I do hope those injured recover fully or to a some what extent to some form off normal health despite what happened. I’m happy to see that the police and the other emergency services had a swift response potentially saving lives. One thing that baffles me however is that how this was NOT deemed terror related? At least that is what the news is reporting anyway? |

The hotel is being used to house asylum seekers. It was one of the asylum seeker residents that attacked other asylum seekers, hotel staff and police.
If you google things about Glasgow asylum seekers in hotels during lockdown you will see that there was warnings this type of thing could happen. Many have have mental health issues due to where they have came from, what they have been through and what they have seen and they need professional help.

I've just read it was a white homeless person that went on rampage. Maybe we should all hold off on the speculation till its confirmed exactly what did happen . |

I am aware that the hotel was housing rehomed asylum seekers some especially who definitely required professional help. However what sort off puzzled me was that this incident had similarities to the recent attack in Reading yet was not declared terror related? I suppose until full details are released everything is up to speculation for now unless the deceased attacker had been declared mentally insane instead off having terror related motives. |

angry about the way refugees are being treated so stab them  ... safe to say if that is true then with that logic the guy clearly had mental health problems |

I think the Brazilian was a asylum seeker , im sure I read it was hotel staff and a police officer that was stabbed, but again this is all just people talking think we will need to wait till we hear officially what actually happened. |

There are 1000's of people with mental health issues in the community as there is nowhere else to put them. Very sad. |

It wasn’t speculation as I knew it was an asylum seeker. I was involved in the home office contract previously and still know a load of people involved in it so we got word about it pretty quickly.

This isn’t exactly true. I’m not sure how much you know about the asylum seekers contract but these people were put out of their houses and into accommodation that isn’t fit for them. Having worked with them I know personally that some are a danger and it’s on their reports. However the contractor didn’t reference these reports, and they admitted that this week, when grouping them together in hotels with families and people that are vulnerable.

Why were they put out of their houses?"
Repairs were needing done and the contractor didn’t have the staff due to covid to do them. However the contractor had been cutting staff numbers before lockdown and the repairs were already mounting up. They could have easily brought in help from other firms as these could have been classed as key work so people with mental health issues wouldn’t have been in that environment.
There’s loads about it online if you look up groups like no evictions Scotland etc.
One asylum seeker took his own life last week and there are over 100 on hunger strike due to the conditions. |

Some of the asylum seekers files say things like “no woman workers allowed in their property” and “at least 2 men on job as they are volatile”
They were all grouped together with families with no regard for their mental health or anyone else’s safety |

Be loads of questions to be answered then, and imagine a few heads on plates. Assuming by some of the things you state are on files,some of these asylum seekers are a danger to the public ? |

Probably.
I never understood how women weren’t allowed to work in their houses yet they were housed in tenements where families stay. Lack of accommodation is a big issue
The Scottish government are welcoming asylum seekers with no where to accommodate them. Some of the stories I’ve heard from them about watching their kids being killed in front of them etc is horrific. If we are going to bring them here and accept them we need to facilitate their needs. |

The police officer is out of danger. I have a friend in the police force.
I just don’t understand why they put 100 people in a hotel. It wasn’t just about repairs, it was about keeping them in a controlled environment. Just a shame about the innocent hotel staff and police officer. They put people from different ethnic minorities in one place for 3 months and don’t expect trouble?
The people who made those decisions to move them should be investigated. The press also need to be careful how they report these incidents. Some said there had been fatalities without knowing the full facts.

No it wasn’t just about repairs but that’s how they were getting them to move out. If the contractor doesn’t carry out repairs within a certain time frame they get massive fines from the home office so this was a way around that. It was ultimately about control though. Hotel detention

I remember a politician’s words about not wanting to live next door to a large number of... oh I can’t remember. Seems to me if you have a group of people who are treated as sub human they will not be humanitarian. |

I work in social housing and many of the general population have similar details on file.
What I'm saying is people of all backgrounds have mental health issues, volatile, markers not to visit alone, no females or cant be housed near children.
I dont see why this is being turned into a media frenzy because it involves asylum seekers. Regardless of background or skin colour etc someone has committed a terrible crime and I wish everyone affected by those actions a speedy recovery both physically and mentally. |

Because that's the flavour of the month where the media is concerned, it's what sells newspapers. It's irrelevant that there are many many Scots people with mental health issues during covid that have not been receiving their normal treatments or mental health appointments. But now it's being talked about as if it's someone else's fault he resorted to stabbing people. He had issues no doubt just like thousands of other Scottish people. There not going out stabbing people though. Race had nothing to do with it in my opinion. |

I have my own opinion about them being here. However working with them some of them are the nicest people you will ever meet. Mental health in Scotland is a massive issue. Over the past 2 weeks 3 young people in my area under the age of 21 have taken their own life. |

I hope your sister is ok. I do agree that mental health services for adults and children are woefully underfunded and they don’t get the support that’s needed immediately. I’ve had experience with CAMHS for one of my kids. Took ages to get an appointment. |
