Possible Terror at concert in Britain, explosions heard

[Michie]

Just heard on the news Theresa May talking about the incident and the threat level has been raised. Still defiant but Manchester is described as very somber right now.

I had nightmares lastnight. Continued prayers for all affected. Something has to be done. This is just becoming more commonplace.

I don't tink we understand the mindset of a person planting a bomb packed with nails at a concert that was mostly young teens that tears them into shreds.

The Psychologist that was involved overseeing te enhanced interrogations stated that after spending countless hours interviewing them thattey actually feel they are doing what is right in their eyes.

I definitely have a hard time wrapping my mind around that sort of thing!

If the MCB was serious, it would have been spending the past several years rooting out its radical imans and turning in british muslims who fought for ISIS abroad. Words are cheap but the lives of the innocents is priceless.

I guess there will be military in the streets of Manchester tomorrow.

I heard about that...that was so crazy.
I don't like Donald Trump but one good thing he's doing is not letting terrorist in. Europe needs to get it together, its okay to care for refugees but you can't let everyone in. Everyone has to be examined and vetted-- especially due to the rise of terror attacks. Especially in Europe.

Well...yes and no. Remember that in the USA every single day an average of 41 people are shot and killed. The number of mass killings in the USA greatly overshadows events that are normally labelled as a terrorist act.
We are not even halfway through 2017 yet there have been 24060 shooting incidents resulting in 5895 deaths in the USA.

We deploy tremendous resources into terrorist prevention and response world wide (as we should).... but with the largest threat in the USA being from non-terrorist violence, it could be argued that the same level of preventiveness for that issue doesn't exist (or isnt working).

Thank you for that horrifying information , and some Americans try to lecture us over here on our politics about responding to violence .

With sorrow - I have to ask now :-

would all posters please be aware that this was originally intended as a news article.

Please be aware that there are still young children missing , young people missing , adults missing - and there is no information as yet about them.

There are people who have died and as yet are unidentified.

There are many people in Hospital - some with life threatening injuries and many will also have life changing injuries .

This is NOT the time for people to tell other people how to handle the situation , how to prevent it happening again etc etc . To my knowledge no country has yet solved this problem.

I just saw a heartbreaking post on Facebook. A mum looking for her children. Still not found them. A mobile number was given out on Facebook for anyone who has any infirmation to contact. Heartbreaking. At this moment, let's just pray for all.

There was a time not long ago when England was ruled by men. It had a giant empire and if you messed with England you courted destruction. I know those days are gone, but look at it now. A dinky island that cannot even secure its borders. Bombs are going off in England and the country is unable to prevent it. All you have to do is just look at what has happened. The rest of Europe is the same story. Not saying let's bring back imperialism, but whatever those countries are doing, they are inviting their own suicide. The US isn't that far along, but if we follow their example, I guarantee we are heading for big trouble.

The reason this problem has not been solved is because it has not been faced. Say a prayer and it will all go away. I am saddened by what happened, but now is the time to deal with these issues. If we don't, we'd better start finding basements to pray in because it will be too dangerous anywhere else.

How did you interpret @Anhelyna 's post?

 

[Michie]

They still have not determined all who was in the concert venue?

[anjelica]

Sorry Muchie, did you mean that they knew it would be mainly children there?

 

[anjelica]

I did it again. I meant MICHIE. Sorry

 

[Michie]

It was my fault angelica. I was wondering if they have identified all who were injured and killed in the venue. I asked because you said you saw where there are still people missing?

I did it again. I meant MICHIE. Sorry

 

[anjelica]

Oh I see what you mean Michie and the answer is that I do not know. That facebook,post was quite recent.

 

[Anhelyna]

If they have the names have not yet been released
