Makes sense. Deprives the jihadists of the oxygen of publicity, and
deprives racists like you of the wherewith-all to stir up hate against
the Muslim community, the bulk of whom are law-abiding citizens,
thereby further encouraging the few jihadists among them to commit
their atrocities. A win-win suggestion, I'd suggest.


Someone will film it on their mobile phone and social media will
distribute it. Long gone are that days when the establishment can stop
publication of anything they don't want in the public arena.


There is a difference between reporting an incident and revelling in the
gory details. They can also choose the slant they put on the reporting -
whether to concentrate the effects of an attack, or to emphasise the
bravery of those who tried to stop the attackers. A message that the
attack was essentially a failure and that attackers will meet determined
resistance is far less likely to spawn copy-cat attacks.



They don't care if the die or fail.

The public needs to know when the police are failing to do their jobs.
And not to sit next to some"Asian" on the tube.
