The victims were swedish, some people think he did because some arsehole burned the Quran, so this vile dirty cunt decides some to kill some people in brussels that happened to be Swedish. ISIS wannabe cunts like this are just evil scum., hopefully they don't take him alive

Why are Swedish people being targeted? Probably just a case of the jihadist targeting a crowded busy event. Makes a little nervous about Spurs on Monday night.

Why are Swedish people being targeted? Some are linking it to that arse who held regular Quran burnings - because "freedom of expression"

heard on the news, the police killed the gunman. Good riddance to such a vile piece of pig shit. Imagine some arsehole burnt the Quran in sweden (which is probably linked to Russia stirring up hate in the west) then some brain washed piece of shit thinks "I know I will kill some random swedish people, day of raggggeeeeee!" Sadly there is groups of the west that will side with this ISIS wannabe scum because he was "some bullshit reason here"

The BBC have changed their language to no longer describe the event as a “terror” attack, presumably in line with the Hamas stuff the other day.
I’m not sure how I feel about it. I understand that the news needs to be objective and avoid loaded emotive language. At the same time the nature of a terrorist/terror attack is fairly universally consistent as a concept and it seems an important factual description for a certain type of attack.

I know it's not a science, but at the least it's interesting that the complaints to the BBC about their coverage and that they are biased in favour of the other side, are "a handful" short of being a 50-50 split.

Passed 20 now with over 50 injured
Edit:
Numbers are not confirmed. 1 is too many
Number of dead not confirmed, but reports range from 16 to 22 Authorities in Maine have not confirmed the number of people killed.
But multiple law enforcement officials told CBS News, the BBC's US partner, that at least 16 people were dead.
The officials also indicated the death toll could be higher than 20.
Lewiston City Councillor Robert McCarthy, citing a city administrator, told CNN that at least 22 people were killed.

Looking on twitter to see verified accounts posting false information that the shooter had been apprehended and scrolling down to find the third comment an ad from one Emily Valentina wanting to know if she could be my girlfriend. Trash fire of a site now when it comes to breaking news, honestly.

The BBC will love it, another 24*7 constant feeding frenzy of the “manhunt”, gives them a nice mix with the “war” - something for everyone.
Also, I see most media has moved on from the Ukraine war now, all getting very old hat.

May seem a bit unbalanced based on population>killings. However my friend is moving to America, she has children and I've Said to her I don't think I could do it. She is of the opinion that bad things can happen at any point. However I just view it as an avoidable risk, its far to easy to own a gun and there're far too many maniacs in this world.

It's a live situation that people want to know about, so what's wrong with live reporting?

And why single out the BBC when it's being covered live on other news outlets?

I don't mind it. Reminds me that Britain under the Tories is still better than the US under the Democrats.
Misery news makes me appreciate what I have.

I agree it's not just the BBC but if watched them you'd see, there isn't actually that much to report, they repeat the exact same thing about every 10mins, the same bits of footage, the same silly interviews, it doesn't need live coverage until something else happens. In contact The World Service doesn't do, a few minutes on the hour then back to reporting on the rest of the world.

There's also the point at which it stops being news. I suspect most people don't actually care anymore.
