The entire world should try to prevent these types of brutal murders.

[@helenpauls1496]

Agreed. Teach these young adults how to behave properly.

[@hanrenfighterjet]

@@helenpauls1496 cause of murder was a mentally ill young man. you can't teach mentally ill

[@wolverine4800]

And these are the brutal murderers who get out of prison (for killing a teenager with a machete, he dismembered him). People who want to prevent these crimes are imprisoned by the British government for “racism”.

Aren't they afraid of being arrested for having a funeral? Don't want to anger the Islamists!

[@michellemarie9855]

So sorry this happened. Sending love and prayers to the families.

[@user-od8pv4et5t]

I’m surprised the Labour Party didn’t try to throw the family in prison for holding a public funeral.

[@manuela9671]

I am not a swiftie but I am sick to my stomach, I hope I can stop crying today, some day... this was so unnecessary. This world has become so evil... I want the world to come to it's senses and stop the violence. (I know, useless... they will go on and on and on... I miss the peaceful, or rather, the more peaceful world... )

The real terror was holding a sweft teylor event for children.
