This is what is annoying me though, why are people more interested in his race than actually saying how awful it is that he killed the kids?

Would people be happier if he was a white, English guy who killed them? Will we then think that all white English guys are capable of killing kids? Do you think the families will get comfort if it was someone who was here legally who killed the kids?

The children are dead.....families have been destroyed. Fixating on his race / religion will not change that.
