Shall we cause riots. Does it make it right.

Stop refugees!

RIP 💔 thoughts are with his family

When is someone going to make a stand against these terrorist. Lets just deport them back to where they come from, this may at least cut them down. How many more lives are going to be lost to these extremists.We are not responsible for what goes of in other countries.

All my thoughts goes to the victims families, when will this madness stop , when will European governments understand the danger the put their people in by ignoring to take action Before something like this happens? Europe was once safe but now it’s a madhouse.

Reading terror attack: minute's silence to be held in memory of victimsPolice continue to question suspect after three killed in Saturday evening attack in park No knee taken? No marches? No msm outrage? No slogans on football shirts? Thought not. Yes the Reading attack was very serious, carried out by a Libyan with possible mental issues. Three members of the same family were killed in Cumbria by an alleged drunk driver. Minutes silence for this family throughout Cumbria? Balance required. I guess the silence belongs to the minute.
