There are over 20 casualties following a terrorist attack in London, and the story is all over the news and social media. This “intelligence and national security reporter for the NBC News Investigative Unit” thinks widespread reporting about the story isn’t a good thing. Why? Here you go:
I know it's a big story, but every time we freak out about a small-bore terror attack we play into their hands.

Fatalities and injuries are not “small bore.” https://t.co/VOpu31VLdc

Suffice to say, not everybody agreed with Dilanian:
No. Every time we let people into the country who hate our guts and want to kill us, we play into their hands.

Is this a real tweet? Nothing is "small-bore" when even one person loses his/her life.

NBC: "small-bore terror attack" about which "we" should not "freak out."
