    Children can't just be children in this world without some type of trauma from sick people that infect our society.
  • @moonshoes11
    What an absolute tragedy. Why attack children? Why attack anyone?
  • @joannewatts9892
    Not terrorist related ? I think the kids were terrified ! Stop with the mental card crap .!
  • This is absurd! Prayers for the people that were killed and injured.
  • @MarticaMM916
    Not surprised at all. This is why I avoid crowds now. Absolutely disgusting. Poor kids
  • @Patrick-kq9fy
    First it was 28yo... then 48yo... now "17 yo", so they can hid the identity of the perpetrator.
  • This makes me so sick! How much more are we supposed to put up with???
  • @wynbrown5985
    Families destroyed by corrupt government policies.
  • @BudinVegas
    A report said an illegal immigrant did it, a teenager. Not confirmed yet. Outrageous behavior from teenagers. Bad parents and illegal migrants cause trouble. Condolences for victims and families.
  • @paulhiggins8774
    According to a father on Facebook he was a migrant who came to this country last year. The ambulance workers were in tears. He is now claiming mental health issues. Clearly this was a terrorist attack and a state of emergency should be issued in the uk

    THE POLICE WILL NOT SAY THAT THE KILLER IS FROM SYRIA. THEY ARE PRETENDING HE IS A "LOCAL BOY."
  • @HillyPat
    Not even animals behave this way. Why is the UK tolerating this behaviour from illegals in its country ? So sorry for the loss of these innocent souls, condolences to their families.
  • This is what happens when people don't like our culture and way of life . Police saying it's mental health issues again. They need to be honest with us . RIP little ones 🙏🙏
  • @Patrick-kq9fy
    But... they arrested Tommy Robinson under the Terrorist Act for the film, "Silenced." Smh
  • @moogs
    Interesting how they won't classify this as "terrorist related" yet nor describe the attacker other than their age. Odds are very high then, we know what this means as to the identify of the attacker....
