Anyone else listening to this guy on BBC News

Its really shocking, he was searching through the bodies looking for his wife and kid.

That is horrifying. This one made me sicker than most. Targeting children at a concert.

I am trying really hard not to jump to the easy conclusion and getting angry about it, but it is hard when I read things like that.

I can understand. I commend you for resisting the impulse to knee-jerk.

It's the UK. It's a concert. A bomb or bombs went off. Unless some other faction is in play or the UK is going to be known for concert bombs like the US is for school shootings, then the obvious duck is an obvious duck.

I'll call a duck a duck and say it will soon be reported as being claimed by some extremist Muslim group.

Very well could be.

Talking about Islamic terror before we know it's Islamic terror does not seem logical to me.

Forgive me if I wait for facts.

Origins aside, it was terrorism.

I guess we know what will be all over the airwaves tonight and tomorrow. This is a tragedy and very sad, but timing is everything. Call me callous or insensitive, just not here, on a conspiracy forum.

My heart goes out to the victims.

If the police have confirmed a second bomb, that removes doubt.

I fking said political terrorism, not Islamic extremist terrorism. Meaning people who might be pro or anti Brexit or way too passionate about any upcoming elections... political nut jobs.

Get off my goddamn back with your assumptions.

That we can agree on.

GM police statement

There will be a controlled explosion in Cathedral gardens shortly if you hearing anything don't be concerned.

Expolosion just on the news!

EDIT: controlled explosion at another location.

I think you missed the point.

Someone clearly did.

Let's talk about the facts, as they come, and leave it at that.

Sure like an improvised explosive device where terrorists can get their instructions from the internets.

I know what you are talking about, but I can't bring myself to believe that.

They ought to know by now what type of device they are dealing with.

Political terrorism doesn't usually target children.

If it is the most likely suspect, then it's not political. It's theological, as politically incorrect as it is to point that out.

That was my point.

the controlled explosion?

...ah, saw your edit.

So it is terrorism.

You're not alone, just so ya know.

Despite that, the victims look very real.

A venue full of teens. Madness and hate is all it is and all it will accomplish.

Islam is more of a political ideology than a religion.

a reply to: JinMI

Me, too.

I want it to be, as horrible as it is, an accident. That someone would deliberately target children is enough to make me want to go hunting.

I won't. I'll leave that to the rough gentlemen and ladies with the training to do such...but I want to.

Quite worrying that we had another attack in the UK just in March at parliament this year so this is the second attack.

I really hope we are not about to find ourselves in the same situation that is ongoing in France just now.

Quite the coincidence because I came the closest I have ever come to getting hit with lightning early this morning.
