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.

So now instead of her name being remembered it'll be theirs. ๐
It's perhaps a little different than an american shooting a school.
In one, you've got lots of victims, too many for one person to remember, but only one name for the killer, so it's more likely to stick.
In this case, I think people are going to remember the one victim. Similar to James Bulger.
Edit: As a footnote, I had a read through the James Bulger wikipedia page after I wrote, and I really wish I hadn't.
Not gonna remember any of these people in 10 minutes
Exactly. These things should not have been named or their faces publicised. They should not get attention.
I disagree. I doubt you or I or anyone else will remember their names. If the judge hadn't named them, however, the British (social and perhaps tabloid) media would have become obsessed with discovering their identities.
