Manchester Bombing *** Please remain respectful and refrain from antagonising posts ***

Nail Bomb would be unusual if it is ISIS.

If this is a terrorist attack then those who have carried out the attack have been taking lessons from the IRA. ISIS using IRA tactics is very bad news.......

Just terrible. Wonder if this will give more support to May's new "Internet".

Yes, I have no doubt that it will, no matter who or what the motivation turns out to be.

What is the solution to this. I just don't know what we can even do about things like this.

Hope the intelligence services can stay one step ahead, I'm not sure it can ever be stopped.

It depends on what the explosion was. American sources are talking about a suicide attack. If it was a timed nail bomb then that could mean non religious political terror

Well a bunch of random kids isnt exactly Breivik levels of terror. The only special things here (and unfortunate) are the kids and the Singer. So my armchair analysis is that the obvious suspect, vs the disgruntled demented fan?

I'll just wait for better info, which is unlikely to come for awhile.

Uproar? :/

All this country will do is hold hands, do Facebook updates and change their profile pictures to the country being affected.

What do you suggest we do?

What kind of person would even target children at a concert?
Some people truly are evil, absolute scum.

RIP to those who were unlucky enough to get caught up in this.

Considering schools have been attacked before this is nothing. No place, whether a school full of children or a hospital full of ill people is safe from these people...

well at least the reports of a secondary attack (at a hospital) turned out to be fake - I was thinking that they're adopting IRA tactics if that had been true.

Eyewitness on Fox News saying that the area where the bomb went off was an area where loads of parents were waiting for their kids to come out.

I don't think many people will understand how impactful this is.. 19 deaths so far, that is 6 times more than the Boston bombings, and by far the worst attack in the UK since 7/7

I'm just worried at some point things will tip over and result in a huge backlash

Being from N.Ireland this was the first thing I thought when I heard nail bomb.

 

[Thekwango]

This was clearly planned but strange they didn't target Ariana herself?

Too difficult a target to get close to. Kids on the other hand, much easier.

Gutless ******** whoever they are.

The show was running late was it not?

There is nothing you can do, only political integration solved the IRA issue.....

Same here.

 

[Fubsy]

Deliberately targeting kids like this is particularly sick.

RIP to those lost far too soon.

It sounds horrible but it's somewhat of a relief if that is in fact the case and most of the casualties are parents rather than the kids.

Yep, we're absolutely pathetic. Nothing will happen at all. Everyone's too afraid of offending.

Just keep praying...

CBS News confirms a large group of young girls are among the 19 dead following alleged terror attack at Ariana Grande concert in England

Dunno if this is really true (america), but sigh.

 

[robgmun]

Who else is it gonna be tho guys

Shhhhh... you'll be called a bigot and a racist just thinking it!
