REFUSE TO BE TERRORISED
REFUSE TO BE TERRORISED
Terrible murder yesterday. Frightening and worrying.
It's right to be concerned it could be part of some kind of organised campaign and that should be properly investigated.
currently though it appears to be a single, horrible murder by two individuals already in custody.
So - do we need to feel terrorised?
Oddly the people who like to paint themselves as "real patriots, brave and courageous" are the first to panic and allow themselves to be terrorised.
Obviously the leaders of these organisations cynically seek to use events like this to manipulate the vulnerable/easily-led... but how do we counter the willingness of so many to be "terrorised" so easily?
