Russell Brand caught the ire of social media users when he posted a message accusing the United States of terrorism and an interview he did with former Guantanamo Bay detainee on YouTube. He did it while there were Taliban fighters gunning down children and teachers at a Pakistan school, making some social media users very angry because of its untimeliness and insensitivity.

Daily Star UK reports that while Taliban gunmen stormed a Pakistan school and slaughtered innocent students and teachers, comedian Russell tweeted a link to a YouTube video of his interview with former Guantanamo Bay detainee Moazzam Begg. Brand also added a message that reads, "The people who do 'terror' best are the people who decide what 'terror' is." The video was titled, "CIA Torture -- Guantanamo Bay Prisoner Lifts Lid: Russell Brand The Trews."

While the world watched the carnage unfold, some social media users thought to blast Russell Brand for his untimely message. While reports of a teacher being burnt alive in front on children circulated, Nate Anderson wrote Brand, saying, "Bad timing given what's just happened in Pakistan dude. Bad bad timing." A professor of international relations, Colin Wright also could not fathom why Brand would post something that seems to favour terrorism at that scary moment. He wrote Brand "talks crap," tweeting his message while the terror in the Pakistan school unfolds.

Emotions around the world ran high on Tuesday as reports of Taliban attacks in the Pakistan school circulated. This was deemed as Pakistani Taliban's deadliest attack ever. Some young children as young as 10 witnessed their classmates being shot and felt bullets passing by their heads. The jihadists reportedly stormed into the school premises and sprayed their bullets at random, from one classroom to another. The young students cowered under their desks as dead bodies of their schoolmates started to pile up along corridors. After a nine-hour battle, all the gunmen were killed by Pakistani special forces. BBC News reported 132 children and nine members of the staff died.

The Taliban did not deny their actions, saying it sent the gunmen into the army school where children from 10 to 18 years old were studying in order to exact revenge for their families. The group also said it wanted the army to feel what they felt when they lost their children and families. Mohammed Khorasani, the spokesman for Pakistani group Tehrik-i-Taliban provided a chilling message saying the bloody attack was just a "trailer."
