Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

The attacker was born in Wales. The parents were from Rwanda. That's what is even worse.
Edited. Thanks.
Yeah it's so sad to see, especially when you see his Children in Need appearance. Clearly a sweet kid caught up by the pressures of deprivation and online radicalisation.
I've seen the far right response to this. They'll say it's blood and not his birth certificate or passport that makes him british. They make memes about this shit.
My father is of mostly old stock british ancestry (his family has been in the US since before the revolutionary war). To these wierd chuds I'd be more british than the attacker even though he was born in britain and my family has been in the US for over 300 years.
In Poland they call this "genetic patriotism" (to preemptively exclude not only PoC but also every Pole they don't like) to be observed for at least 4 generations back, but of course the guy who coined and proudly used this term didn't even had that genetic patriotism reaching to himself because his mother was a German and the language used in his his home was also German, they just rapidly changed political and national identity in a time strangely coinciding with utter defeat of Germany in WW2.
And it works the same, polish-american chud not speaking word in Polish but voting for PiS is more Polish than even a normal liberal.
