Similar fate? I say again, I bet there aren't many innocent people in the UK just going about their business that are gunned down by a total stranger in the street and then just for good measure stabbed several times.
Most soldiers die in battle in foreign lands not hacked to death on UK streets, any soldier killed in action is one too many but unfortunately the risk is inherent to the role.
Erm......you mean like Jo Cox was????
The parallels between Lee Rigby and Jo Cox are blindingly obvious, and I think I can say for certain that no posts on this site once suggested that the coverage Rigby's murder received was being blown out of proportion.
all people lose people I lost my father at a young age, it's not grief top trumps, yes we all get on with it, but I would scorn another's situation out of prejudice of anything that happened to me.

That's why I qualified my statement by using the term 'a similar fate' something you seem unable to understand. By definition I'm not referring to people who've NOT suffered a similar fat, stabbed, shot, raped, butchered and worse. There are plenty of people who've suffered terrible trauma and lost loved ones and we hear nothing about it. At no point have I minimised what happened to Jo Fox, merely put it into perspective. Odd how you reckon I'm playing top trumps when I explain the reason for my point of view then go onto your own version of the game. Nice. Unlike you I've been in the same situation as Mr Fox, with kids aged 3 and 5. You haven't so what do you know about how it feels? Precisely nothing.
