Why do people deny mass killings? 16:11 - Oct 23 with 4362 views

The BBC reports today that a former TV producer who claimed to be journalist - and was therefore able to act in the public interest - was guilty of harassment against two survivors of the Manchester Arena attack.

Said alleged journalist claimed that the attack never happened; that many of the alleged victims were already dead by the time of the attack or were outside the UK; that his "analysis" was based on sound principles; that his tracing of victims of the attack to "check that they acted consistently with the injuries claimed" was reasonable; that the multiple videos and book he produced were not based entirely on a falsehood.

There are charges about breach of data protection which will be decided later.

This has echoes of the Sandy Hook mass killing in the USA which Alex Jones - a person with some right wing views - denied ever happened. He has been whacked with a huge fine and a promise of jail time if he does not pay.

I don't know what sanction the UK denier will get.

What drives these people?

Do they really think that it was possible to "stage" the bombing in Manchester in the middle of a concert attended by tens of thousands? Does he think that a public enquiry and ample evidence of life changing injuries to people are all false?

Or is this really all about him. He's a desperate narcissist who was never going to amount to much and so chose notoriety?

If I were young enough to retrain, I'd be interested in doing a PhD in how and why these people think as they do?

Triggered.

No, just bored.

I wholly disapprove of what you say and will defend to the death your right to say it.
