This is disgustinggg,and i hope that these people are ashmed of themselves.
They are totallyy out of order and its horrible, sickk behaviour :yuk:
X Factor bosses have reportedly ordered a step up in security around twins John and Edward Grimes, after haters left death threats on Facebook.
Several malicious groups have appeared on Facebook including, “John and Edward – Join if You Want to Kill Them” with 1,277 members and “John and Edward Need a Bullet Through Their Head?” with 690 members. One posting said: “ive found my sniper rifle, dose any1 have any bullets for a type 72 scout sniper i could borrow. jedward soon to be deadward.”
Another wrote: “Those b****** twins need shooting. i recommend someone get their hands on a Barrett 50 cal and blow their bloody brains out!”
Another hater added: “wish i could just go up to john and edward and kill them with a knife.”
A show source told The News Of The World: “There’s no way that will be able to happen again. Safety is paramount to us.
“We need to protect all the contestants but John and Edward have had a lot of attention from the start so they are a unique case. These threats are mad and disgusting.”
Last night a spokesman told the newspaper: “We encourage debate, and we’re not policing negative comments. But when it comes to death threats and hate crimes like this we will work with Facebook to get them taken down.”
