They could probably not have picked a weaker target. Lots of women and children coming into the public foyer at the end of a pop concert. Their aim is to be as shocking and gruesome as possible in the hope it will affect all our lives and stop us living the way we want to.

Because they are terrorists and what 'better' way to terrorise than targeting children.

Just woke to this horrific news. I'm sickened. Targeting a kids concert....there are no words... My thoughts with all who were at the Manchester Arena last night.

[Wanderlei]

This is awful news. My thoughts are with the victims.

[Losing my hair]

Woke up to this; sickening, just sickening. Will humanity ever learn that this sort of thing achieves nothing?

[Dave_c]

Shocking news to wake up to today. Lost for words to be honest

[DropBeat]

Horrendous news. Targeting a show with so many kids. 

[Quark]

FFS. c**ts. Terror won't fucking win. Fuck them.

Thoughts with Manchester and anyone tied up in this x

[Hugh Jass]

Fucking evil.

[OneLittleFish]

It takes a particularly cowardly little c**t to even think of targeting something like this. Sickening that people might go to a pop concert and not return.

 

I hope those who were there don't change the way they live their lives. Never let them win.

Staying in a hotel near the arena for business this week. Absolutely heartbreaking seeing kids and parents distraught this morning, it should have been a night to remember for them to probably see one of their favourite stars. Heartbreaking.

Shocked and upset, feel awful for everyone caught up in it, sad times.

Fucking sick and twisted bastards.. Sorry about language but this is really fucking disgusting.. How the fuck can you do that to women and children.. Fucking cowards 

[Lucy92]

I should be getting up and going to work right now, still frantically checking for news of my friends mate. 

[AmyShambles]

Devastated by the news. Always horrible but makes you realise even more when it's so close to home. Thoughts are with all those affected. No one should go to a gig and never make it home. 

[JayBalls]

Bastards

[John the Moth]

Those poor people, especially the kids... I simply have no words to express how I'm feeling right now.

[slash's hat]

So very saddened by this news. Usually you hear about these attacks and whilst they are shocking and horrific you have some disconnection from it. My daughters friends saw her in Birmingham a few nights ago, and reading people on here who know someone there last night really does bring it home. Targeting a crowd with so many kids present is just beyond words.

[moheetoes]

Terrible terrible news, I really have no words, my thoughts are with the victims, their families and anyone caught up in this.

[Avalon_Fields]

Yes, evil. I'm so devastated for my city. A friend of mine was injured in the IRA bomb all those years ago and I can't help recalling that day. Manchester is a great city and we will be even stronger after this. 

[Friendly Banter]

So sad.  

Also the photo that people started claiming was "Fake" is indeed very much the real aftermath of the bomb.   First it was said that it was not Manchester arena, then it was Manchester arena but it was a training exercise from a different night. Wake up. They don't damage the building and splatter blood and debris all over for a training exercise.

Fuck terrorists.

I've woken up this morning to this terrible news. It makes me so sad that any human being could do this. 

 

The worst thing about it is that we've been waiting for it to happen. Their target makes it all the more sicker, but these people are sick, brainwashed, religious zombies.

Probably not the time for this, but I for one have not been "waiting for it to happen".  That's how they win.

Peace out and love to Manchester.

Because that's what they always do- take out the anger accumulated over their miserable lives on people they've dehumanised via ideology or bigotry to give themselves permission to act out their killing lust while deluding themselves that it's actually righteous and the victims fault- same with most killers.
