Yes - I agree it could be a lone wolf - but I would like less disclosure from the Government about what they do.

Theres all sorts goes on without us knowing

Just read about a mother being killed and her daughter leg amputated.

This is just horrific.

My mate was there with his daughter last night and nobody had heard off him til about 2 hours ago. Him and his daughter luckily are fine.

Such sad news to wake up to this morning.

My mate was there with his daughter last night and nobody had heard off him til about 2 hours ago.

Why was that mate?

There are still a number of missing people/kids so understanding why someone has not been heard from until the the following mid-afternoon could help others get in touch with loved ones.

Not got a clue mate. Just going off his Facebook page and his missus and family putting stuff up on there. It was his daughters first ever concert last night and she looked so excited from the pictures last night.

Full of sadness and emptiness mixed with anger.
Thoughts are with them all.

So nobody including his missus have mentioned why her husband and daughter weren't reachable until the following mid-afternoon?!?!

My mistake, it was updated hours ago but I've been looking at the one from late last night. I didn't refresh my Facebook this afternoon.

No offence mate but what you are saying is that you hadn't heard from him on social media and not...

This is an absolute tragedy with real people impacted so please don't try and artificially jump on the grief bandwagon as it's distasteful in the extreme.

Not jumping on a bandwagon. Actually telling the truth.

 

[Bungle]

Seen a lot of that sort of thing today sadly.

Mate, with respect, just because he hadn't updated Facebook doesn't mean that nobody had heard from him.

Did you text him?

Ring him?

Go around to see if he and his daughter were okay?

Or did you decide to post on a forum that nobody had heard from your friend and his daughter since the attack?


This kind of thing really winds me up when there are actually families out there devastated not to have heard back from loved ones.
