EmersonsRed Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 Will certainly be interesting to see whom / what caused this. I understand terrorists want to cause terror but this is a very weird target indeed, if at all terrorism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTFiGO!?! Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 Thoughts with all the families and loved ones. From what I'm hearing on the radio it does sound bad, "bodies everywhere", "untold numbers" etc. It's getting worse with every eye witness account. Nightmare!

RumRed Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 No words, but I'll try. I love Manchester, and the North, and my heart goes out to all those affected.

Akira Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 Absolutely devastating. A gig with mainly kids inside. Some vile bastards out there.

Wanderingred Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 Trying to stay calm and not point the finger at the likely culprits because there isnt any evidence for it yet.. But if it does turn out to be the case, this must be the absolute last straw. An arena full of children and teens... 19 dead. Just utterly heartbreaking, I have no words.

Pfft terrorists dont care who they kill, nor do "suicide bombers" as the latest report says it was done by one. Kids, teenagers, adults, their aim is to mass kill, they dont care. Thoughts to all the families of the victims, sad a concert was such a scene of this horrific act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East End Old Boy Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 We all know what it's like being searched going into an event and this took place at the end. This is something all event security will now take note of, so expect changes. But how do you stop a lunatic with a bomb strapped to him/her, if that was the case.

If reports are true and it was a suicide bomber, this happened at the END of the gig, should police cordon (check) everyone who happen to be just walking past? There is no manpower for this, not to mention it also happened next to the railway station, in the lobby joining the arena to the station infact. Did the bomber come by train? Should we check everyone entering train stations from now on? Maybe we should all stay home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's unlikely acts like this will ever be stopped and just hope never to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but it puts emphasis to be worried while walking home/out of packed areas because they know they'd be checked if entering, why not wait till it ends and do it then? It now seems that we arent safe anymore, anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Hitler Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 I am amazed by how strongly political correctness has affected people even on here; it's like 1984 and thought crime. We can all wait a few days for the usual weasel words from the police: history of mental illness, attacking alone etc. etc. Well I will say it: it was a muslim that killed these kids and they did it because they were a muslim.
