Some netizens lamented how such violent attacks seem to be happening more frequently. Late last year, the hashtag #PrayForParis also trended, following the deadly terrorist attacks in the French capital.
I’m so sick of turning on my phone to hear that more people have been murdered during celebrations and supposed times of joy #PrayForNice
