  1. Regardless of your political views, I think we can all agree that ~~the suspect being only 15 makes this even more tragic than it already was.~~ It’s a truly sad day for all of humanity.

    ETA: as other have pointed out the 15 year old that was arrested/detained isn’t suspected of being the perpetrator, but rather was detained because they were seen talking with the perpetrator prior to the attacks.

    R.I.P. to those who lost their lives, and hoping for a speedy and full recovery for the surviving victims.

  2. So basically unless they charge him as an adult he will essentially get away with it considering that if not he will be charged under youth law and therefor cant receive a harsh enough punishment.

  3. >Police were pressed on giving a description or images of the alleged perpetrator, but declined to do so. “Nothing would be more damaging than giving a description and then, during the investigation, it turns out that the person actually looks completely different,” said the police spokesman. Police did not give any further information about the 15-year-old who was arrested.

    You know what would be more damaging. A mass murderer being on the loose and people not knowing what they look like.

    What are they gonna say if they kill again and it could have been prevented if their description was public?

    They’re choosing politics over human lives.
