#BrusselsLockdown has won the Internet this fine day, and Belgian netizens have a lot of reasons to be proud of their countrymen.
Sunday morning, the Belgian police force entreated to the populace to take extra caution. Aside from urging residents to steer clear of windows for safety reasons, they asked people to refrain from tweeting about any armed activity within the Brussels area. the social media silence would keep terrorists in the dark about any police action.
But the good people of Brussels took it one step further. Sure, they kept #BrusselsLockdown hot and trending — with cat pictures.
