United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Details about the attacker and his homelife/etc are not forthcoming, but one presumes that he wasn't actually a fully murderous idiot and instead was egged on by hormones and peer pressure. It is unfortunate that what is normally annoying behavior lead to someone's death. With luck, though, a very large life lesson has be en learned here and this teen will go on to live a productive life.
He was the oldest of the three attackers by a few years.
