Seems to be a bit of confusion about the death toll.

Police have confirmed that one person has died and that 32 people have been injured, 10 of them seriously.

RIP to anyone dead, and condolences to anyone hurt, at any rate.  :(

The scary part about attacks like these is how exactly do you stop them?

You put up barriers at likely targets but you can't stop it entirely.

There's an element of guilt because islamophobia is such a legit phenomenon that people don't want to add fuel to the fire.

I agree with you though, plus any tweet that takes four times as long to explain as it did to write is shit anyway.

But if the car driver in Charlottesville was rightly called out for being a Nazi supporting White Supremacist can't see what is wrong with giving this murderer the correct description to match his deluded extreme philosophy.

Agree with the comments about the tweet. Brevity is the soul of wit.

Clarification of dead and injured has 12 dead, 15 critically injured, 5 more hospitalised, another 60 injured but not hospitalised. (NBC)

ISIS are claiming responsibility. But then that was a near certainty they would regardless of how direct a connection the person/people who did it had with Syria.

If I fell down the stairs and broke my leg, ISIS would reclaim responsibility. Surprised they haven't claimed responsibility for the hangover my mate had the other day.

 I just see this guy as a psychologically broken mass murderer - nothing more, nothing less.

Psychologically broken accessories to mass murder, or mass murderers, depending on what they're charged with.

Calling it less than murder isn't something I see as appropriate.

I hadn't heard about the news earlier and was on my SkyScanner app considering booking flights to Barcelona for a weekend break. My friend asked me if I hadn't seen the news when I was texting him about My plans. Really doesn't get any easier hearing of these attacks. Absolutely sick individuals behind this. Leave innocent people alone. Thoughts with the family and friends of the victims. These thugs cannot beat us.
