Twisted supporters of the person suspected of attacks at a cafe and a synagogue in Copenhagen, Denmark who was shot and killed by police turned the site into a makeshift memorial.

There's a "memorial site" for a murderer? MT @JewishFeed Muslims remove flowers from memorial site where Copenhagen suspect killed by police

It was disgusting but at least it’s being removed, even though those removing the vile “memorial” had to be masked. Twisted times two?

@JewishFeed @Production_ed shame or prudence?

@JewishFeed Masked or not, those removing the memorials are doing the right thing. The shooter was not a person to be honored.

@paulfranks @JewishFeed I understood that they were removing the flowers because they did not wish to honour the gunman?

Editor’s note: This post has been updated to include a tweet containing a photo of the “memorial” to the suspected shooter.
