How on earth is it trumps fault unless I failed
At scarcasm.

Can almost guarantee there's only one "group" to blame

Poor sods

I didn't see you posted a thread already sorry mods. Claims that Maccabi Kosher Resturant was target.

Fatalities now confirmed. Beyond comprehension. Now RiP and thoughts with all affected.

Anyone who has been there will know how many people congregate around that area. These events will keep on coming sadly, it will be a way of life in big cities for decades I fear.

Seeing the unedited video of the numerous bodies before the ambulances arrive. Twisted limbs, one was clearly a child. None moving. Horrific!

Horrible, cowardly and despicable

I can't believe how many people not helping and walking past the bodies.
Unbelievable.

Any news on the perps?

ETA are still knocking around aren't they?

There are many who wouldn't cross the street to help types but then you get people like my dad - instincts are to help but the sight of blood freezes him up.

And risk a bomb going off?

That's rather insensitive to people's desire not to possibly die also, also what if you don't know any first aid?

You're likely to be just a liability.

I've seen two versions the longer version shows that there are police with helmets(like motorbike helmets) that 'appear' to be herding them keeping them walking & not stop.

Forgot they said it was an "ongoing" incident and police were trying to get people away.

That was my thoughts too but not sure if they are still 'active'

They're all too busy posting flag filters on their Facebook profiles and running to the store to stock up on candles.

Such is the way of the world now. That's why I had to get off social media. Too many crocodile tears and false platitudes.
