"Nineteen people confirmed dead and 50 injured in Manchester Arena 'terrorist attack'"



'The explosion sounded like it was inside the building somewhere.'

Abby Mullen from Airdire, North Lanakshire who was at the event said: 'As we were leaving a bomb or explosion went off centimetres in front of me. People's skin and faeces where everywhere including in my hair and on my bag.

'I'm still finding bits of God knows what in my hair. You never ever expect these things to happen to you but this proves it can happen to anybody.

'That sound, the blood and those who were running around clueless with body parts and bits of skin missing will not be leaving my mind any time soon or the minds of those involved.'

Jonathan Yates, 24, from the Wirral, who attended the gig, told MailOnline: 'The concert had finished and the lights came on almost instantly. There was a bang, a weird bang. There were lots of balloons but I thought to myself that can't be a balloon, that's not normal.

'We were sat on the floor level and it came from the higher seats, people were running and screaming. Everyone stopped and I turned to my friend and said 'we need to run'. Everyone was running and screaming and then when we got out it felt a bit more OK.

'I heard five or six bangs that sounded like gunshots. When we got outside people were outside, crying and on their phones.

'You don't think it's something that's going to happen when you go...it was such a nice, fun concert.'

Maybe they can put to good use the program Obama used to spy on his political enemies.

My condolences to the victims and their families.

Our vengeance on those responsible for this.

Have they blamed Trump yet?

chickelit said...

They "future blamed" Trump because he collaborates with the Saudi who are proven financiers of 9/11. I agree that the Saudi stuff in the 9/11 report is disturbing. They are untrustworthy.

Let wait a bit to hear how the Brits piece back together what happened.

Excellent point. If Pissy was still Preezy, this wouldn't've happened.

How about a little more "will" and "shall" instead of just "may."

edutcher said...

Droll.

Also a bit Churchillian.

As for the Brits, the Orwellian crime laws prevent anybody from giving the problem a name.

There is a new book out that compares the lives and philosophies of Orwell and Churchill. Two men at other ends of the political spectrum but respected each other. It's on my reading list. It's titled, Orwell and Churchill: The Fight For Freedom.

ISIS's real target: Saudi Arabia

You can not be America First and ally with the Muslims.

Meth is absoulutely right.

The only answer is segregation. Removal. Expulsion.

Drive them out.

Of our nation. Of our planet. Of our existence.

Drive them out.

Drive them out.

Drive them out.

We've been friends with Saudis for years. No reason we can't keep on being friends.
We didn't have any Muslim terrorist attacks in the UK or USA for years, for the simple reason that we didn't have any Muslims.

Keep the Muslims in their countries and we stay in our countries - problem solved. No reason we can't trade and be friends without large numbers moving to the other persons country.

Of course, if you stupidly invite millions of muslims into your country while invading and bombing the Middle east, you're going to have problems.

If you want that "Diversity omelet" - you'll have to accept a few broken eggs - as a Stalinist might have said.

Trooper York said...

The Saudi's were never our friends rc. They have always been our enemy. They financed terror to keep their shaky throne upright.

All Muslims are our enemy. It has been so since the Barbary Pirates. They need to be deported and not allowed to immigrate. No exceptions.

There is no such thing as a moderate Muslim. It is like a unicorn. It just does not exist.

"The Saudi's were never our friends rc."

We and Saudi's have common interests. We both want stability in the Persian Gulf. They want to sell their oil, we want to buy it. Neither of us wants Iran or Iraq dominating Kuwait or the other Gulf states. We can work together for our common interests. We don't have adopt each other religion. We don't have to love each other.

I don't disagree about stopping Muslim immigration but then I'd stop almost all immigration. 320 million people is enough. Its odd that the same liberals who express horror at the Saudi's treatment of women or criminals are outraged that Trump might prevent them from immigrating and living in the USA.

Its the same thing with ISIS. The Liberals say they hate ISIS - but if an ISIS supporter wanted to move here from Syria, they'd think it was great. More Diversity!

But that's just my opinion.
