I had couple spats previously with people online who questioned the husband as to be the killer of his partner and others said they believed the best friend was in on it.
People said because he is not crying, because his eyes are darting around, because he has a black eye, that clearly the family and friends involved.
I said to people at the time, this kind of unkind, unwarranted and without substance or knowledge and total speculation that this was all that is wrong with social media and my view was such behaviour really needs to be criminalised.
People flew back at me and said they were sure based on instinct they absolutely correct and there was nothing wrong at all with what they were doing.
IMO wild speculation without substance against people who clearly obviously suffering at potential loss of a loved family member and then knowing that so many are actually surmising that the family and friends involved.
The police have said they are certain there is no foul play but IMO people that think they know much more than the investigators and wildly sentencing family when that type behaviour has made the suffering EVEN WORSE for the family and friends of Nicola.
Laws definitely need to be brought in sharp ish to criminalise the social media warriors.
Disgrace !!!
People that do such things are seriously unaware of the massive increase in extra pain they increasing at a time when their lives been turned upside down already.
What an horrendous indictment on society as its run today.
And especially in a world in which its meant to be so PC about everything, which I am against, but this case has hopefully leading to a world with such unwarranted and totally uninformed opinion really needs be clamped down on big time !!!
Totally agree with the OP which is why I rarely bother looking at social media. Dangerous talk was something confined to a few people but now they platform their opinions and others weigh in. Everything is a conspiracy out on SM.

If they don't cry/show emotion they must be guilty.
If they do cry/show emotion its for the cameras and they must be guilty.
etc.
A lot of morons on social media which is what block and mute functions are for.
Madeleine McCann has been gone a long time now with still no outcome. If only the police had engaged with the many keyboard warriors who know exactly what happened, when, how, why and who....

Sky's Kay Burley is the insensitive pits.I remember her trawling up and down Machynlleth during the April Jones investigation.
Insufferable, horrid and hypocritical woman. Got herself over to Turkey last week to 'report' on the earthquake and sticking her microphone in the faces of young kids who looked blankly at her, whilst trying to concentrate on the meagre rations they were about to eat.

Absolutely.
I saw an interview she did with Mick Lynch. Oh my Lord, it was utterly embarrassing and was such shockingly poor journalism, it makes you wonder how someone so vapid could possibly get such a job and then retain it for so long.

There's a horrible culture in newsrooms around "the death knock", which is basically where the reporter goes around to the house of somebody who's died, knocks on the door and asks one of the relatives if they want to talk to the paper/programme about what's happened.
Obviously reporters dread these. I remember my first, Chris his name was, poor lad, teenager in a car smash, our late at night with his mates. I walked round and round and round the block two dozen times before finally plucking up the courage to knock on the door. Luckily for me, the dad was a journo himself, knew the score, had been expecting me, and we basically held each other hands through the whole process.
But that was literally on day four of my first week in my first job out of college. There was all sorts of hilarious "banter" in the newsroom about sending the new boy out on his first death knock, all the old hacks reminiscing about their first one. No training for this. It was like it was a big joke - haha let's send newbie out and see what happens. To be fair you do go on some and find the people are glad to see you, and want the story told either to remember the person or to seek justice for what's happened, and if you do it sensitively and work with them it can actually be quite a cathartic experience. But there's also this horrible machismo culture around it. Basically crusty old hacks who've been doing the job for decades relishing sending kid reporters out to knock on some poor grieving sod's door because "I had to do it, so so should you".
IMO you should write to them, explain what you'd like to do, and have them call you if they want. If they don't want, or they go with somebody else, never mind move on. But there's this whole "first is first and second is nowhere". With Chris they wanted me there within the hour, banging on his dad's door, because they'd put the obit in our paper, so we had a head start on BBC Radio Derby and the Derby telegraph. get round there before they get round there, miserable hacks racing to knock on the door of some poor bereaved family. I found it utterly fcking hateful. Like people still riding around on bloody whales at Sea World, in 2023, are we really still doing this?
That's what's happened here if I was betting on it - there will have been a discussion in the newsroom about whether to approach the family despite them asking for people not to do that, it'll have been batted backwards and forwards probably with the younger members of the team siding with "leave them alone", and in the end some miserable old cnt who likes to style himself as "old school" will have pulled rank and told them to get on and do it because "if we don't somebody else will and we'll lose the story" - because the story is all that matters of course. No doubt accompanied with some glorious story about how he had to knock on all 96 doors after the Hillsborough disaster or some such trumped up dick swinging.
Sadly it's even worse now. All the local papers have been stuck into centralised clickbait factories, so more often than not now stories like that just get ripped off a Facebook post along with the photographs and plastered up on a dreadful website festooned with adverts without the family even knowing it's going to happen.
Its often the profession at its absolute worst.

When Sarah Payne got murdered I worked with a chap whose son was best friends with her brother, he police literally made her dad have a haircut as the armchair detectives we’re literally ringing in and saying it must be him as he has long greasy hair.

Absolutely. And watching her behave like this is some huge afront to her privacy when anybody tries to raise that, in exactly the same way she calls out people in her interviews, the height of hypocrisy.

Death Is so final.
Leave people alone-just leave them alone to deal with their personal grief.
"the death knock" ???
What a strange and ghoulish world we now live In.
My Father had a profound influence on me, he was a lunatic.

It is certainly distasteful and this obsession to get the loved ones victims story is putting the job above common decency.
But been going on since beginning of time sadly !!!
In the UK, our so called national "gutter" press revels in other people's doom.
Bad news sells !!!
But these kind of stories are now open to all and sundry due to the disgrace of social media keyboard villains, justifying their views under the banner of free speech
There was even members of the public digging around the river bank etc themselves in a bid to solve the drama and become infamous celebrity !!
Apparently from a bygone era and one of the words has different connotations these days, my great grandma s well turned phrase was ;

I'll say. Am I being overly insensitive?I was in the area during the April Jones murder coverage since my GF lived there and we witnessed the rather inconguous sight 3 months after the body was discovered,of her parents taking part in a Christmas carnival waving at the crowds. Previously Kay Burley had accosted volunteers that were tying ribbons around the trees in the High Street telling them they'd found a body. "Oh you didn't know?How do you feel?" as she vicariously reacted to their floods of tears.
Very interesting yet disturbing thread to be honest RIP Nicola I saw a map on RTE website where the body was discovered a good bit down stream from where they were diving . Did any teams of police/ divers continue way down along to see if they could find her body before it got stuck in a tree weeks later. Not saying it would change the outcome but how much better would it be for the family to know immediatly rather than hold out hope then get their hearts ripped out later. Not blaming anybody just curious As for sending a reporter around to the house pretty cruel IMO. Remember Don Henley singing Dirty Laundry " You know the boys in the news room have a running bet , get the Widow on the set ,we need dirty laundry " not much has changed since

Social media is an absolute Westlife of cocksuckers. These f*cks with their SUMFING DONT ADD UP bullshit is nothing new. We've had it ever since Maddie's disappearance.
All that 'the parents deffo did it. If it was my kid who went missing id be going mental' like running about hysterically is going to aid the police with their investigation.
Same c*nts who then write messages on Facebook when a joyriding teen dies in a car crash.
RIP U WERE OUR ANGLE.
