Hard to argue with that. Seems to be our Achilles heel, much as guns are America’s. |  |

It’s not intended to be insensitive, but imagine how much worse it would have been with guns instead of knifes there today. I’ll leave it there as no intention to upset anyone or dig a hole |  |

Yeah very vague, guess more on social media but don’t fancy trawling through that |  |

You've just said knives are better than guns. Personally i think that's a ridiculous comment, considering what has just happened. |  | |  |

I don't think Joe meant it that way. In fact he explained that what he was getting at. If I may paraphrase I think he meant that guns can do much more damage, much quicker, and that we should be thankful they aren't exactly common in the UK. |  |

Have to disagree, he said how much worse it could have been with a gun. And that is true. Both are killing weapons. That a gun can kill more, faster isn't a matter for debate. I am quite sure Joe is not making any point other than that. [Post edited 20 Jun 2020 22:20]

I just think that's a little insensitive, considering what has just happened, that's all. I mean if someone came up to me and said that, if i would of been in, or part of what has happened in Reading, i would take great offence to it. |  | |  |

This. What he's saying is quite right. I just wasn't sure if it was quite the time to be saying it. |  |

That's fair enough if that's the case. Just see it as a little insensitive. |  | |  |

….both extremes are already at it. There's as many people trying to link it directly as there are insisting there's no link at all. As always the answer will undoubtedly be somewhere in between the two extremes. |  |

They’ve edited it. Originally said it was at the BLM protest. BBC have gone with ‘at the site of a BLM protest’. Locals saying BLM had ended and this attack was after one random people sitting in the park with picnics/beers etc. |  |

I suppose it's too much to ask for everyone to just fecking wait for the facts to emerge isn't it? |  |

Aye. It was also at the site of what looked like people minding their own business and hanging out while enjoying a summer afternoon/evening. It's a shame media companies can't just wait for facts before speculating. |  |
