I've already given you an answer. I'm still waiting on one from you.
We appear to be at an enpasse. I'm happy to leave it there, I've made my point.
I blame the media personally. If something bad happens to the family of the lad that has already been punished by the law for common assault the then the media sensationalists should be punished for making a storm in a tea cup.
I in no way endorse bullying or physical harm one child gives to another but the media are completely in the wrong here and need to be punished for it for causing further harm and ramping this up to 100. Shame on them and shame of them for no doubt hiding behind an invisible wall of "free speech"

Singling out the media (who are no doubt asses) doesn't really adequately explain the situation.
We - our whole society - is bat **** insane. Yes the media stir things. But people have no self-control. They allow themselves to be whipped into a frenzy and do absurd things for absurd reasons.
Widespread mental illness will define this era, I feel, when future generations are thinking what to write about us.

Its called social MEDIA. Media in general is out of control and people are most likely to tweet or status update something like this more for the shares, retweets and likes then the actual issue behind it all. Its quite shocking really and a world that I am not part of. It used to be OK but now it's just an awful part of human development
It isn't even development, it's regression to the times of the witch hunts.
I'm waiting to find out his ethnic background first, on first look he looks white in which case there's no virtue in doing so.
Exactly, trial by social media. In other countries it often ends in a stoning or worse.
Sad times.
You haven't made any point. You've been intentionally obtuse or clearly lacking in any counterpoint.
I have, you just don't appear to see it.
BTW, when you tell someone not to answer a question with a question, it's probably a good idea not to have done so yourself in the previous post.

No. You think you have a point but you don't. Your inability to answer the question despite repeated prompts shows that.
His post was rhetorical.
I'm happy if that's your opinion.
What's stopping you?
Because, if you'd bothered to read instead of trying to be clever, you'd see that he is one amongst a number of posters who doesn't believe such things should be done for that type of occurrence.
He's not defending the presence of the page, he's objecting to it. Why would someone who objects to such things set one up? To suggest he do that is just plain stupid.
Its still a development of the world we are in today, even if it does seem like we are returning to the dark side of sorts
Sure it is.
Do you get upset watching DIY SOS?
Take a deep breath in annnnnnnd out. It's going to be alright

Virtue signalling is exactly what it says on the tin. Showing off that "I have virtue" i.e high moral standards.
Except, well, "Morally high standards" are personal and entirely dependant on each person. Well all have a different idea of what is morally right and what is morally wrong.
Defence for free speech regardless of the content and context of the words may be someone's moral high standard, after all a moral is the principle of "right or wrong behaviour". If someone believes saying absolutely anything someone likes is the right behaviour, then the defence of that is the defence of a high moral standard. And the public defence of that standard, especially to show to others who have the same principle that you are doing this defending, say by making a public donation, is quite literally virtue signalling.
If donating to Jamal is virtue signalling, so is donating to Dankula. Unless done anonymously of course, because then no one is signalling anything.
Bloody virtue signallers though, ey.
What I most dislike about the lovey-dovey-liberals is that, almost without fail, every other post is an insult.Sure it is.

If you don't agree with the liberal agenda you are, in no particular order:
Thick/Poorly educated
Angry/Triggered/Foaming at the mouth
Racist/Bigoted/'Phobic
Right-wing/Nazi/Psychopathic
Etc, etc, etc.
The "liberals" are just soooo... self-congratulatory and smug... and even if they have nothing whatsoever in the way of an argument, they are happy to trot out how "wrong and stupid" everyone else is, despite often having nothing but their own opinion and confirmation bias to work with.
I don't really see that from the more conservative types (small c).

Yep. Pretty much hit the nail on the head.
