It is strange feeling watching it unfold on twitter, always seems the first place for news stories like these

People being let back in and the Arndale re-opening but can see the police with a fella here:

You've been warned about this before.

Ban for you.

We will probably find the horror of this is that for whatever reason the perpetrators were born in this country, so to immediately blame it on immigrants is just plain stupid!
The London train Bombers were from Leeds?
lets just think of the poor victims hey!

Because it's so quick mate. Which is also why it's dangerous.

...first victim named, 18 year old from Tarleton just outside Southport/Preston. Poor young girl with her life ahead of her. I fear others will be similar.

Exactly people make snap comments without thinking. Always best to wait for details.

I like Twitter. It can be so much fun. However, it gives a voice to the voiceless sometimes which is a terrible idea.

yeah..saw it last night and started looking on reputable news sources, but nothing...so went to bed hoping it was something innocuous/mistake..

I can't fathom how people stop to take pictures. I like to think my first reaction would be to help, or gtf out of there.

Definitely. Last night there were tweets about gunmen at Oldham hospital, a device found at Victoria station, fake pictures being shared etc. It's dangerous but kind of the society we live in, everyone hoping to get a viral tweet - no matter what it concerns.
