The 8 year old was a boy, and his 6 year old sister lost her leg. But I hate the people who yell "false flag!" Whenever anything bad happens. Not everything is secretly done by the govenment for a secret agenda. Sometimes it's just a bad person.
Just now discovered that, actually.
Which brings up a point: Why must people spread propaganda and lies after tragedies like this?
I think it has a lot to do with the fact that whenever something happens, news companies compete with each other to be the first to deliver new information. And sometimes, in the chaos of it all, it's wrong. And once it hits Twitter, it spreads like wildfire.

Because people are stupid idiots bored and have nothing better to do.
Also because they weren't directly affected by the tragedy so they can take on a more detached, cynical viewpoint.
Prayers go out to all those affected by this senseless tragedy.

I've been waiting for the "conspiracy theorist" remark from the get-go.
I can honestly say that i am not, all i go by is what i think anyone should go by; facts.
It's ok though, cognitive dissonance will always keep people sceptical of a reality they wish not to believe.
I'll add to my comments that regardless of cause, i have nothing but the best of wishes for the coping of all of the friends and families of those who have been injured/killed.
I'm not saying for a second that such was justified in any way and nobody deserves to fall victim to these acts.
Nobody threw out the "conspiracy theorist" remark directly. You inferred it through implication that honestly, was not there.
My comment was intended to point out that it is sad when the first thing people talk about regarding tragedies like this are conspiracies and vapid conclusions instead of realizing that real, actual people died as a cause of this. It is one of the things that makes me dislike the internet, the way it desensitizes people to loss of life.
