We’re being asked to “ Fill Facebook with the faces of these beautiful angels” & the 3 girls that were killed are pictured as if floating in the clouds with for some reason a lion underneath them. Am I alone in thinking this isn’t appropriate? What happened was obviously absolutely horrifying but I object to being asked to share a picture like that. Possibly family & friends could but not thousands of strangers on social media.

I agree with you OP.
When do the families get privacy to grieve? This seems really insensitive and intrusive.

Sounds as though it could be a far-right thing with the lion imagery. I doubt the families have been consulted.

Somebody’s stirring. I’d probably block whoever shared that. I’ve only ever blocked one person on my FB but this sounds distasteful and intrusive.

It'll be racist right wing stuff - the lion as the representation of Engerlund obviously.

That sounds illegal using the death of children to promote far right ideology

It will be taken down
