An explosion just occurred at an Ariana Grande concert in Britain. 19 dead 50 plus injured. Suspected suicide bomber. Edit : bomb was a nail bomb in a backpack that was exploded as concert goers were streaming out after the show I'm bracing myself for how many children were lost/injured Already confirmed a large portion of the 19 killed were teenage girls. Which makes sense. That's her fan base. Sigh. https://www.google.com/amp/www.nbcn...xplosions-heard-u-k-concert-featuring-n763286
This is sickening. Let's hope that the British bring out the resolve that they once had and respond well.
We punish the persons who lead and support the twisted ideology that spawned it. Takes.. Much too commit to such an act. I have read they use narcotics as well to numb themselves in some cases prior
I personally think they have the resolve. Brexit showed some of it. They are an obnoxiously stubborn people and when it's go time? They go.
And yet, Mango Mussolini can't bring himself to say radical Islamic terrorism to the faces of the Wahhabists who are ultimately behind the vast majority of said terrorism, including 9/11. The rabid orangutan talks tough, but is ultimately a craven little coward...
You go politically incorrect by scraping up the suicide bombers remains and publicly burying the remains along side a pig. That's how the U.S. Army defeated the Muslim Moro's during the Philippine Insurrection. It works.
One more Incredibly shitey Left wing Trump attack in the face of a tragedy where children are dead and possibly dying and you'll join the other one person on my ignore list. Save the bias and Trump hate for later please. God have some dignity
While I'm a little uncomfortable getting political about a tragedy so recent, people will have to understand that Macron was correct. Terrorism, and specifically Islamic terrorism, is going to be part of European life for years to come. If Europeans are unable to adapt to this reality they will slide into irrelevancy. Jesus man, probably mostly teenagers. Monstrous.
Reported. Off topic. Flame bait. Ffs man can you be not callous and politically biased for just a hour or so in the aftermath of children being killed? At least if have a political opinion be ON topic. IE terrorism No? Then stay out of my thread
I've been following this since it happened, and I heard some things that are odd. At first, it was reported that there were two explosions, but we now know it was just one. However, a second bomb has been found. According to the news, they are going to detonate it immediately. I'm no expert, but I would think they might want to try and get some forensic evidence off of it first. I understand that everything is very chaotic right now, and there will be a lot of info coming from all directions. Chances are that it was Islamism, but I wouldn't rule out a diversion either. I'm going to keep an open mind.
It's not like they didn't have security there. Make's you wonder how a person entered with a backpack and wasn't checked. I thought I heard that the FBI here had some knowledge of a suspected bombing in Manchester and had warned the UK . I visited Manchester once and had a good time. A shame, yes.
I can confirm with some certainty the terrorist exploded the nail bomb as people were leaving the concert.
I can't say this for sure but I'd say its plausible whoever responsible couldn't have been checked. Reason being, I'm guessing that the lobby area was where people could check in with their tickets and where security was to check bags. You see the same thing at sports venues, movie theatres etc, designated areas where people go to enter(and eventually these same routes are used by people to leave). These areas often have large concentrations of people in small quarters during the enter/exit time periods where a bomb could produce pretty considerable casualties.
My gosh of course your right in the forensics aspect. As to it not being an Islamist attack and thank you for using the correct term.. I think we both know it must be. No other ideology has the brainwashing capability that I know of in Europe to complete such an action
The Muslim kind. Find a piece of him and cover it with bacon. Take lots of pictures and put them online. It's called, Cultural Sensitivity.
You're probably right, but these are crazy times, and I think it's good practice to keep a mind open to all possibilities. It's just the timing could be considered suspicious. Kim Dotcom is supposed to make a statement tomorrow about Seth Rich being the leaker. If it's good info, I imagine the powers that be would want the MSM to be talking about anything other than that. Is it too much of a stretch? I don't know. Do you think Assad gassed a bunch of random civilians (including children) in a war he was winning? I don't.
You make a good point, but most WON'T ACCEPT that Islamic terrorism "is going to be a part of European life for years to come".....the push-back against Islam targeting CHILDREN in England with this attack will be a game-changer (at least I HOPE).
Hey, I keep forgetting that their is an UP-side to every deadly Islamic terrorist suicide attack: the lucky Muslim gets to rape 72 virgins for eternity up in Islamic Paradise (at least that's what Mohammad promised.) Good news, eh! [Joking.]
This is the kind of reaction that Europeans can't afford to have. Saying that "Islam" is targeting children is not a path to brotherhood or cooperation.
The focus should not be on "how can we use homeland security tactics to reduce the ability of the terrorists to kill us, but rather "how can we work to end the real, underlying, systemic problem - FAITH!" Faith is what gets sane people to strap a nail-bomb to themselves, at a young age even, and kill not only themselves but ("hopefully", they believe) hundreds of innocent people.
______ Then all those Western Oriental Gentlemen that have immigrated and illegally entered 'Blighty' have to be sent to their home countries. The Brits have to take back their country.
