Awful, just awful. You've got to be a real twisted **** to target children. RIP to the poor deceased.
Targetting a concert that will obviously be filled with Children and young teens (Ariana Grande's main fanbase demographic). Its nothing short of cowardly and ****ing disgusting. Not that I ever agree with acts like this, but why do they never target political buildings or actual politicians, but innocent kids going to watch a concert? ****ing scum of the highest order.
Easy target and potentially a message that as we bomb their kids they'll bomb our kids. That **** who had a go at the Houses of Parliament was taken down pretty quickly. Far fewer police at a pop concert.
Very unnatural feel to the city this morning, people going about their business, heads down and very little vibrancy like I see every other morning. I was listening to Capital on the way in, the boys were struggling with their emotions, saying kids are still stranded in the city waiting for adults, their parents to come and find them.
It makes me feel sick just thinking about what they are dealing with this morning. There's nothing worse for a parent, they'll never ever get over it.
This ^ Targeting a concert that would have obviously have been filled with young kids is a cowardly act of the highest order.
We'll see. They thrive on media attention and shocking people, this has certainly done that. Scum. As I said last night this can happen at any time in any City, and really there's little we can do to stop it. ****ing frightening.
It's what Stan said, you kill our kids, we kill your kids. They give zero ****s...they dont even care if their countries are invaded. Western Foreign policy in the 80/90's onwards created alot of angry brown skinned future parents of Middle Eastern/South Asian origin ...these are the indoctrinated offspring who are savvy with the Western world and are getting 'revenge' It's ****ing bollocks created by the White collars and we the normal citizen are paying for it as ****ing usual.
Not wishing to be controversial but we do the same to them every week. It appals me whether in the middle east or the west and last night was truly gut wrenching. They will justify it because in searching for their leaders we (US/Israel/UK) indiscriminately bomb residential areas in Syria/West Bank etc. It is a crime against humanity whoever does it and wherever it is done.
It's about being intentionally divisive. They're trying to split Muslims from the rest of the community by creating a backlash against their own people. If they'd have killed a few politicians then there would be concern and action taken, but far less outrage and anger. Killing kids provokes a far more visceral response and makes the general population a lot more frightened and reactionary. Condolences to the victims and their friends and families. I hope that those responsible are caught and dealt with.
Funnily enough though, our media tend to give less ****s about those tragedies and fails to report them. ISIS purposefully situate their weapons factories underneath schools and hospitals, so that any airstrike will ensure maximum civilian casualties. You send your 7 year old to school and he gets a bomb dropped on his head by the West.....you can certainly understand why it would turn someone psychotic, and put them in a murderous rage. They get their head filled with ****, and the indoctrination is complete.
There's a difference, mate. We don't deliberately target their kids. Their kids usually get hurt when the scum hide amongst the population of places like Raqqa , hoping it will discourage the US and others from bombing them. They don't give a **** about their own kids, nevermind ours!..
