On here it is very moderated, speaking your mind will probably offend others and you're not really allowed to say exactly what you're thinking either.

If he hadn't of been neuro diverse, he would probably have worded the remarks differently or not made them at all.

The murderers are indeed **** for not taking his disability into account and reacting in the way that they did.

The Bill would create a raft of unforeseen consequences and it needs to be ditched.

If people are easily offended, maybe they should be discouraged from using social media.
They did confront him physically- they murdered him!
