You can tell a lot about a person by how they treat those with less power than themselves.

I haven't had the heart to check yet, but have they caught the folks responsible for this incident?

It was a suicide Bomber (british born) who acted alone and ISIS have claimed responsibility for it.

European leaders indeed haven't been dealing very well with terrorism and other issues. And also, maybe certain western nations should stop messing around in the Middle East. They're just adding more fuel to the fire.

It's almost like you're making it sound like they deserved this and that Arianna Grande should have gotten hurt as well. What the hell is wrong with you?!

I guess he doesn't qualify as African American to cubed because he doesn't say things like "yessa massa", "sup dawg", "yo", "kill whitey" and "shee-it negro!"

Salman Ramadan Abedi, son of Libyan refugees. That's the suicide bomber.

Seriously, we're really not in a position to be giving France **** right now when they did what we couldn't.

Seriously, can we not do this? Your personal feelings about the singer have no place in a discussion about a tragedy. You should be ashamed of yourself right now.

Quoting for extra emphasis.

I really wouldn't want to be the singer right now. How soon is her next show? Can you imagine having this in the back of your mind, maybe a little PTSD from the event, when trying to put on that next show(s)? Worrying what if it could ever happen again would suck; thinking that if it did, then fans might die for coming to see you.

I think she's meant to be in London tomorrow but she's cancelled/postponed the rest of her European tour.

And all this right before a big UK election.
Hooray for the Positive Feedback Loop of Extremism!

Ugh. Didn't even think of that.

At this point, it's hard to think of some part of society that HASN'T been defiled by terrorist violence.

K-12 Schools? Nope.
Colleges/universities? Nope.
Nightclubs? Nope.
Movie theaters? Nope.
Concerts? Nope.

Just off the top of my head. As a parent, what the hell do you even do... Mars isn't colonizing for decades from now.

Just a few years back, this singer was caught saying into a live mic that she hates her fans & wishes they were dead.... So it has a bit to do with this... She also hates America and Americans... Seems her hate is misplaced I would say.

You wanna talk crap about the artist, go start a different thread. This isn't about her.

Let's put that accusation in some context.

Quote:
An industry insider told the New York Daily News: 'She did autographs and pics and was all smiles until she got into the elevator

'And as soon as the doors shut she said, "I hope they all f***ing die."'
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz...f-ing-die.html
Huh, sounds like hyperbole.

Quote:
Ariana Grande, who has canceled her Saturday MLB All-Star Concert performance because she had some wisdom teeth removed Monday, went off on the Fourth of July at a doughnut shop about how she hates Americans and hates America.
http://www.latimes.com/entertainment...51108-157.html

Weird, she says this right after a woman in a bake shop puts a huge tray of fattening pastries in front of her face, not long after she'd had dental surgery.

That sounds like hyperbole too.

Why are you so triggered, Zaps?
Oh right, because the Briebart Crowd are doing their best to play this attack as a political act.
To victim blame.
Charming.

That's okay, it doesn't need to be colonized for us to send terrorists/extremists there. We can do it sooner that way. lol

Dude, who cares what she did in the past? Have a little respect for her because I can't imagine what she's going through right now. You say you hate Muslims, so you really need to look in a mirror before you judge what other people say.

The accumulation of hatred and division is inevitably overwhelming.

I know that humans have flaws, but when I view said flaws in action, it makes me sick to my stomach. Social media doesn't help, as it only enhances those blemishes. In this thread, we are witnessing the very hatred and division that occurs every day. It's disappointing.

I can only hope that humankind will improve itself.

I don't know that it IS a typo.
Does it count as one if it's still factually correct?

Saw this on Facebook, look at the dates of past and today's attacks.

Coincidence??

Quote:
22-05-13 lee rigby
22-03-16 Brussels attack
22-07-16 Munich attack
22-03-17 London attack
22-05-17 Manchester attack
22-07-17 ???
Just been announced that the UK's terror threat level has been raised from 'severe' to 'critical'.
