Shouldn't all White People get the blame over what happend in the terrorist attack in Charlottesville going by your standards. PS Go f**k yourself you racist bigoted prick In fairness Dinny I'd be 99% sure this is an attack carried out by Islamic extremist maniacs as it is very similar to recent attacks carried out by them. Don't think it's racist or bigoted for Andy to make that assumption

Don't think it's racist or bigoted for Andy to make that assumption I think I can speak for Dinny when I say it is his delight in people dying that is so disgusting. The far-right get very smug over people dying, as if these deaths prove them right, without realising that they are part of the problem that causes such attacks.

Ah I didn't realise - haven't noticed it before

First time I have looked at the search function on twitter to look at what people are tweeting, you're right, one video of people with blood wounds lying down on the ground, and this prick videos it and then puts it up on twitter. Surely twitter can monitor this second by second and remove these videos....Jesus H Christ. made that mistake before. now I avoid it completely in addition I try and avoid the 24hr news channels when this happens. The sensationalising of these events boils my blood.

Some reports of 13 deaths now

Islamic state have claimed responsibility according to the New York Times.

It's probably best to avoid Twitter and other social networks as people try to outdo each other with evidence.

Of course, some make it to newscasts after they have been sufficiently sanitised. What they don't realise or don't care about, or both, is that the more graphic the footage, the bigger propaganda tool for other would be militants, showing them the results of what such attacks are capable of. They love images of mass panic, and blood and guts strewn over pavements.

Personally I think showing it at all is the height of disrespect to the casualties. We don't need to see it. The fact that their last moments are being filmed is just irresponsible and that people are profiting from selling and showing the footage, is grotesque imo.

No he said Islam huge difference. He's constantly done this.

one hell of a sickening video doing the rounds on whatsapp from the aftermath of the attack. what a sick f**k recording bodies sprawled on the floor rather than helping out, suppose a sign of the times where first thought is recording on a phone rather than assisting the paramedics. even one paramedic shouts at the guy to stop recording
