I thought there may be a thread already but cannot see one. For those that do not know a 17 year old boy went on a rampage with a knife in this lovely Lancashire seaside resort. This link gives the reaction of the community and is a good starting point.

It is simply awful and to make matters worse a right wing hate group is spreading the lie that immigrants are to blame and have started attacking mosques and the police. Another link for that side of it. More recently the youth has been named as Axel Rudakubana and will turn 18 next week. He was born in Cardiff to Rwandan parents and there is no known links to terrorism, Islamic or otherwise.

The parents of these children and loved ones of the adults are suffering enough grief without these scumbags hijacking the tragedy for their own sick ends. I don't know what has gone wrong with people in the last few years.

Greatly saddened by the tragedy and angry at both the atrocity and the mob reaction to it :-(
