SOAP star Helen Flanagan poses with a gun pressed to her head — in a picture she put on the internet as the world mourned the Sandy Hook massacre victims.
Shocked parents in Newtown, Connecticut, where Adam Lanza shot dead 20 children and six school staff, yesterday accused Helen of “brainless stupidity”. One angry dad, speaking at a shrine to the victims, said: “It’s just ignorant. When the eyes of the world are on what happened here, to be posing with a gun like that is insensitive and stupid.” Ex-Corrie star Helen, 22, posted the crass snap of her in a lacy black bra on Twitter on Monday — the day of the first funerals of Lanza’s young victims. Alongside it was the message: “Head *******.” Garrett Gloss, who was yesterday putting up 26 Christmas lights in Newtown’s library to commemorate the victims, said: “This is plain wrong. You can’t do this. “It looks like she is just trying to get her name out there.” Helen first posted the snap, from a series of lingerie photos, in October. But she decided to publish it again on Monday. It was later removed from Twitter but last night was still being displayed at an online picture storage site. I’m A Celebrity star Helen declined to comment last night. But she tweeted: “I was so hungover yesterday.” President Obama yesterday backed up his vow to bring in gun control laws by promising to “actively support” a move to outlaw the sale of assault weapons. Obama’s spokesman said he would also support legislation to close a loophole that allows people to buy guns from private dealers without background checks. Gun dealers say sales have risen in the wake of Friday’s rampage by 20-year-old Lanza, who shot himself after murdering his mum and the 26 school victims. They claim gun-lovers are stocking up in case laws are tightened. North Carolina gun store owner Larry Hyatt said customers were queueing out of the door on Saturday just hours after the massacre. He added: “We already have tons of customers because of Christmas and the hunting season is peaking. But this tragedy is pushing sales through the roof.” silly fishing women Last edited by Marcus.; 19-12-2012 at 03:01 PM. |
