what i dont understand, there are full of shoppers, where was the security guy at the time of the beheading too? couldnt someone take a stool, take something from the staff room of the shop, take some metal pole or anything in the shop and approach the killer?

first he stabs the woman, then he cuts her head off, its not easy just take the head off, you have to cut it , it takes few minutes. SO THEY JUST ALL STOOD AND WATCHED THIS HAPPEN??? when she was beheaded than a security guard pins the guy to the ground??

This is why I truly despise the Mail.

I was friends with a girl who was killed (in an accident) on her gap year. The Mail devoted acres of space to the story, against the expressed wishes of her family. Every single article, without fail, mentioned the value of her family's house.

They also doorstepped her parents every day for a fortnight asking for comments/interviews, despite having been told in no uncertain terms both verbally by the family, and in writing through the family's lawyers that the family would not be giving the press any interviews.

Absolute shower of c@nts.

Often, when I see some headline blithely announcing the death of someone, I'm struck by the loss of that bundle of human frailties (love, hate, dreams, ambition and so on) extinguished by the stroke of capricious fate, but it leaves us unmoved, because that is the human condition too.
