Read the comments left by people at the bottom of the page (Yes I know it's Yahoo news, but still)

I cannot believe that there are people agreeing with this man. There are numerous people defending this nutter's actions as a cry-out for stopping immigration and multiculturism and allowing muslims into the western world and they have been given ALOT of thumbs up too for saying it.

I am SHOCKED and DISGUSTED by this. Why is this man being defended for what he did? I am so angry that people feel like this. If it was a muslim man who had done the same, everyone would have been angry at Islam and muslims, so either way, Islam and muslims get the flack.

How could ANYONE agree with his racist manifesto? Just in the same way how could ANYONE agree with Osama Bin Laden's thoughts and ideas?

Immigration allows the mixing up of different societies - it promotes harmony between cultures - and that is what this world needs. Not hate and segregation. What is happening to our world?

I think the issue here is the " free press" want to sell newspapers and make people watch news TV programmes by attracting the general publics worse fears.

If we condemn this guy as a crazy nutter (which he is) then the news story goes away quickly.

If the media can instill fear into the moderates then the story runs and runs and we watch more news and buy more papers. It fits into our worst fears about the modern society.

Fear sells.

If we admit that he's just a bit weird and odd, then he story goes away. If we see him as a precursor. or as a comment about todays world then the story runs.

I'm not blaming the media.....just the people who buy into the all the back talk about him.

Ignore him, and people like him......in the greater scheme of things he is not important. More people died through food famine whilst he was out killing people. Thats a bigger issue.

I don't mean to put down the horror of whats happenend. I can't begin to think what those families have been through.

But lets think bigger. Don't lets make him more important than he is.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all the famillies. But lets not distracted about wider political change.
