What is the purpose of allowing online commentary and reckless hate-mongering???

Freedom of speech is not the same as Freedom from consequences!

I just read an article about 2 kayaks washed-up on the English Channel, which means 2 or 3 illegal immigrants have drowned. 99% of the comments by members of the public celebrated this and rejoiced. How vicious can we be?

Ok, blocking them from posting such horrible views won’t make them better individuals, BUT what exactly is the benefit derived from allowing these horrible, inhumane comments and views online?

At the very least, allowing those abhorrent comments and postings makes them mainstream and many now see it as an acceptable way to converse in public.

I am against illegal immigration and these incessant forceful entry, because in the long run, nobody stands to benefit (apart from the people smugglers) as the locals hate on them, the illegal immigrants then start bottling up hate too. if the facilities are not there and they’re not likely to be, it will end in tears for most – but in many cases, the folks caught up in all this, have already experienced worse and as such, are undeterred.

But to rejoice and celebrate the loss of human life is despicable and it shows that our society has now lost all moral values and the only thing keeping us safe is our laws & enforcement. Without that, I dread to see what society would be like, with such reprehensible human beings who think celebrating someone’s death is ok

Comment options should be disabled for articles that would attract reprehensible posts… i don think that takes genius and should be urgently implemented by the various online news outlets. Enough is indeed Enough!!!
