Sad I guess a lot of young girls at the show

I guess this is him
Actually maybe it's not him but it came up quick it could be my neighbor playing a sick joke
Madness, and to hit a concert like that where the majority of people will be young girls just makes it that little bit worse.
I just don't get the thought process behind it.
I get that they are at war with the West and all that nonsense but what do they think they achieve by these sorts of bombings?
I mean they could kill 20 people on a daily basis and they wouldn't get anywhere near winning this "war" that they have waged against the world.
If it is solely to cause fear then they ain't going to win either, I can't see Old Trafford being three quarters empty out of fear of a bomb any time soon, and even if it did get to that point what would they have achieved?*
These attacks (and I'm in no way trying to play down how terrible they are) feel very much like a Jack Russell yapping at the heels of a lion.
It is just desperate, pathetic and cruel way to act.
Best thing to do is carry on as normal and not let them change the way you behave and think.
Hunt potential prats that may do the same thing and prevent it from happening by raising awareness of how silly their cause is.
Do not give them the excuse or reason to continue to recruit these morans by getting involved in their wars and if you, do it through UN.
I just hope trump accomplishes something in the realm of dealing with Islamic radical terrorism, to quote Obama, and if this concert attack is amongst those attacks they r really stepping up the game going after tweens. But concerts are an insult to Islam so maybe not.
I think I get why people do these things, but it seems so pointless to me. Why bother killing a bunch of kids at a concert? Does that really make you feel like you are taking it to the man? Does that feel like the way to get justice? Apart from the weird bloke that killed the politician all these terrorist attacks seem aimed at ordinary people and that is what I do not understand. Even then the bloke killed what seemed like a pretty decent person. I also understand why the Tories only do staged events. They know the people want to chase them down like that leader in Romania. It is probably what the security services spend their whole time doing. Defending Tories and Royals who hate on the people, then when someone truly dangerous comes along, they conveniently never manage to have a clue despite taking billions in funding that should be going to the people.
Also how do you get a bomb into a venue like that? I thought it was akin to airplane security. Don't they pat you down, check your possessions etc? You can't just get a fricking nail bomb in there. Makes you wonder. If it is that easy you could have a John Lennon situation at every public event and surely that couldn't be the case. Doesn't quite add up.
I think the bomb was around the ticket office which is just outside of the actual venue, they wasn't actually inside I don't think.
I read that the stadium is actually above their main train station or something like that, if so it might be quite a weird set up.
I could be wrong but I'm sure I read that somewhere
A friends daughter is in hospital, shes had surgery on wounds to her leg
and a group of girls from my daughters dance group went, all safe thank god and but thank god my daughter didn't go
Ahh, that would make more sense. I don't see how you could get a bomb into a big gig. I must admit I haven't followed the story closely. The timing of it all seems very iffy to me though. Everytime the polls swing a terrorist turns up. Happened with the referendum too.
No security checks whatsoever until you actually went from the lobby into the arena so only people going inside the Arena were searched (if you can even call it searched), loads of stories coming out from people who were there saying the searches were a joke and Security were hardly checking anyone just the odd glimpse into a handbag etc.
Anyone could have wandered into that lobby from the street as the concert was coming to an end and it's when security at any venue is at it's most lax and masses of people are starting to come out and exit the venue.
This attack has seriously pissed people off and there's a lot of anger about this one, targeting little kids has seriously moved the goal posts. :mad:
Yeah. . IT SURE WASNT THE AMISH
Salman Abedi, apparently was the bomber so the reports said.....Abedi, is that a Scottish name? Welsh maybe? No no no it's Irish it has to be, has to be the IRA that has done this.
The religion of peace murders young children and innocents .
This is not even surprising anymore .
Face facts islam does not blend with western culture .
R.I.P all the lost souls.
Absolutely horrific. Youngest soul just 8 yrs old, no clue what life had is store for her yet. The victims need the attention and remembrance. Less this devolve into rushing to stand atop the rubble to make some cheap ass multi threaded political points.
I'd say some Muslims don't blend with Western culture, but for the most part yup, agreed it's a shit show and because this shit has been allowed and accepted for so long it's festered and we're seeing big troubles now.
But again....I've heard you can't tell who is doing the terrorism, you can't tell if a certain culture is better or worse than another, it's impossible to tell man.
Uk terror alert raised to critical and military may be deployed to the streets
Sorry....just started thinking of Theresa May as some sort of GI Joe character....it's Theresa 'Military' May :badass:
.....I know, I know, "inappropriate", sorry

will the bobbies carry their usual night sticks???? or perhaps a gun or 2???
This was a terrorist no different to the killer Jo Cox. You would not blame and label all white (Christian) people for that murder so why blame all Muslims for this atrocity?
Read the news, Muslim taxi drivers, shop owners, and houses were opened up to help the victims. This was an attack on Manchester and the community got together to help.
Loads of extra security and Police at Saturdays Brook v Spence Jnr fight, no bags allowed in venue, also 90,000 people at Wembley a few hours before for the FA Cup Final.

Hopefully Wembley will do better than they did last week when about 200 Millwall FC fans were running around on the pitch after the game
Bruh....SIKHS.
SIKH taxi drivers helped those impacted by the bomb.
Cosmo apparently tried to push the whole "Muslims helped" narrative and maybe they did BUT for their story it was a Sikh taxi driver as the picture and the original story they got was on him and other Sikhs.
But whatever, as long as it was not white Christians. ....they're the WORST! (a jab at the media, not at your views of course)
Muslims
and Sikhs

You are literally doing the work of the terrorists for them.
Why are you so keen to divide everyone and deny reality?
It is not an opportunity to spread division. Muslims have been very quick to condemn that attack
http://metro.co.uk/2017/05/23/muslim...ttack-6655366/
So now you are spreading fake news ? Rebel Media? You know that Muslim taxi drivers also drove people home but you are more obsessed with pushing your own narrative than you are with dealing with reality. What are hoping to achieve? Do you want people to mistrust every Muslim they see? Do you want people to pretend that no Muslims condemned the attack? Why are you so dis empowered and weak that you would be so determined to get everybody to be as narrow minded and ignorant as you. People are different. Thankfully the only two Americans here with absolutely no manners, or respect, or grace, are you and Brockton, so we don't judge the rest of your compatriots by your standards. Fair minded, generous, decent people on the whole, but you two want to drag them all down and the British to your level?
There's no helping you Beanz. That post of yours is a laugh riot.
I called for people to mistrust Muslims? Where? Could you pretty please with a cherry on top provide me with an example to go with your accusation? Or if you like you could just leave a snarky response as is your M.O.
"Do you want people to pretend that no Muslims condemned the attack?"
Do YOU want to keep your head buried in the sand and play pretend that this act wasn't carried out by an Islamic terrorist? Wanna do that do ya?
"Why are you so dis empowered and weak that you would be so determined to get everybody to be as narrow minded and ignorant as you. People are different."
:rolleyes: yeah people are different alright SOME people condemn suicide bombing, other people.....other people like to hold their offense not for the perpetrator but for ANYONE daring to comment about what actually happened.
I get you @Beanz, I understand....you're angry, you're upset, and you want to vent and venting at me and my views won't get you blown up, it's safe, I'm a safe target, you won't be arrested for talking shit to me or posting shit on the internet about me. I understand that this is the path you have chosen for it's ease and safety rather than addressing the real issue. There's a reason I cna immediately post the South Park meme when events like this happen, because it's typically Militant Islamists who carry out these attacks (in case you had not noticed).
Awww Muslims are doing good? Well that's great for those few Muslims....where are they BEFORE these attacks? Why in France when they raided Mosques after the Bataclan massacre did they find extremist material at EVERY SINGLE MOSQUE?!?! Hmm? Why were the perpetrators hidden by the community after that attack? Hmm? Oh but these are questions I shouldn't ask, it's inappropriate at this time to be thinking of past attacks or when and how the next attack will happen, NOW is the time for hashtags and Union Jack flag filters on social media and #thoughtsandprayers and all that stuff.
Here's something you might care to study up on
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learned_helplessness
...that's the EU, that's England, that's you when it comes to these situations. I find it rather sad because there was a day, there was a time, when England didn't just accept that kind of shit as "part and parcel" of everyday life, but here you are.....pathetic.
You guys might need your own section on the forum. Spam is taken so not sure of a title. Just do not understand why every thread has to spiral down into this divided tired long winded shit now. For fucks sake, go run for office or start a personal blog.
It's 22 dead now.
Forum: Off Topic
Anything and everything non boxing can be talked about in here.
Ummmm, ok @Spicoli....I'm just following the rules here, but I guess that isn't acceptable. I'll be sure to send you a message so that you can personally approve my posts from now on alright?
Well gee that cleared EVERYTHING up bud, thanks for taking the time.
All I'm saying is this part of the forum says specifically "Anything and everything non boxing can be talked about in here."....Now, if that isn't the case then I guess point me in the direction of where that part of the forum is and I'll HAPPILY post there, if allowed of course.
.....also I find it curious that a Mod who has the special magical powers to move any thread they see fit to any part of the forum they wish SPICOLI laments that certain people might need their own "special section".....man if you want the thread moved move it then! I can't move it, I'll ask "Where would you like for me to post so that it does not annoy you?" as well, but apparently I just have to play the guessing game and think "Would Spicoli find this appropriate to post?" every single time I post.
I'm a lil irked my man, lil irked....if I was a 'Family matters' character I'd be Steve Irk-el.....I'm just trying to follow the rules, the forum says "anything and everything"....what part of my posts is not included in "anything and everything"? I want to follow the rules, help ME help YOU.....just lay it out for me and I'll color inside the lines, I promise
