I'm not sure a media thread will be warranted but if they mods give the go ahead I'd be happy to help.

I am sickened by this. My heart goes out to all in Manchester.

I hope the media and others do not splash the murderers names and photos all over the news and social media bc that is what they want - fame and "credit."

I will refuse to speak or write their names even when the names are revealed. Please join me. Don't give them the satisfaction. It's not much, but it is something.

Don't be sorry, Hon. It's just my opinion. I just hate it when they get "credit." Let them remain the nameless, faceless cowards that they are (imo)

And it scares me when the media reports "the worst in history" numbers bc the next killer has to top that number. *tears*

I sent you a request anyway. We are neighbours after all, I think

 

[frisson]

Despicable cowards.

I haven't seen anyone's name released yet but we can't tell others what to post or not to post. It's against TOS. We can use initials tho.

Lilmo, so that was the date of Lee Rigby killing? That can't be a coincidence IMO.

Eta. Just seen the name. So SA to me.

I can't imagine what is going through the minds of those with loved ones missing.
