SINCE when has violence been the solution to violence, especially when the attack is wrongly targeted?
There are so many unanswered questions here but one thing is certain: social media has again misled people and caused even more pain.
The person who caused the death of three innocent children must be caught and punished, once found guilty. This is one case where a death penalty would have been appropriate but a life in jail will be the most that can happen now.
The apparent use of this incident by far-right protesters is offensive. Leave it to the legitimate authorities, the police and the courts.
Why is there now so much violence and what can be done about it?
