At first it was said it was popping balloons, which would not sound very loud in an arena full of people. There are now confirmed deaths, and there are people with blood spatter on their upper clothes.

Based on the footage, looks like the crowd was mostly teenybopper age girls and some young gays.

People on twitter saying at least 20 dead.

Holy shit. Ariana Grande is like a Disney Pop star, so yeah her audience was mostly young teens. Assholes!

Reports: 23 confirmed dead, 10 of them under 18.

I have little doubt that the https://twitter.com/hashtag/ReligionOfPeace is responsible.

But hey, let's wait a little bit. Sometimes, rarely, mass murderers are not Muslim.

I just heard it on the radio. Another article with video.

Hey, Fort Wayne, you still think that freedom of religion is sacred?

Omg. Who is running PR for the terrorists? Fire that guy

Yes. Blowing people up is still illegal.

TwoScoops - out of morbid curiosity how did you discern from the footage there were some "young gays" ? Did they have gay designators on them to allow for easy identification or have you recently turned in and on to "gaydar" ?

Dude, nobody goes to Hannah Montana/Britney Spears concerts except young gals, gay guys, and the very occasional totally whipped teenage boyfriend.

Straight guys at a Disney-type Girl Pop Star Concert is like looking for Hippies at a Gwar Concert. Very rare.

You missed why they are blowing people up: religion.

Get rid of religion and the world will be a safer place. Religion is the most likely reason why our species will go extinct.

I said something like this to a wise old boss I had about ten years ago, when Muslim slaughter of random innocent civilians was still something of a novelty in the West, notwithstanding 9/11.

He made the excellent point that the PR is not for us, it's for other Muslims. Terrorists who murder non-Muslims are beloved and celebrated in Muslim countries, and their families are generally given great honor and large cash payments to make up for the loss of their dearly departed shaheed.

So it's truly excellent PR for the terrorist groups, if you just look at who their audience actually is. They know that our spineless Western leaders will never tell the truth about Islam and will never restrict immigration of Muslims, no matter how many of their own innocent civilians are murdered by devout Muslims in the name of islam. So that part of the PR is completely irrelevant.

Like @curious2 said: "Radical Muslims want to kill you. Moderate Muslims want radical Muslims to kill you."

Muslims who sincerely value humanity and peace should be deeply ashamed of Islam.

I'd go to a Taylor Swift concert.

TSMG - really, what were those pictures I just saw of bloodied middle aged men being escorted away ?

This is all really ancillary to the bombing. Middle Aged man is could be a father or employee. They are now saying the explosion was outside the venue.

Sorry to mention this, but how old are you? Do you know the target market of Adriana Grande? Hint: It's not the same as Peter Frampton Comes Alive or Metallica Ride the Lightening. There aren't many Adriana Grande Foam Can Coolers for sale.

It's not the venue, it's the artist. You may have noticed all the videos with stampeding girls and the pink balloons.

The concert has the same age and gender demographic as Bop Magazine.

anonymous says

Would you believe 21 plus ?

Yes! I would. Listen, I'm not exactly a spring chicken, but the "Female Pop Singer for Teenyboppers" thing started in the 80s with Tiffany and Debbie Gibson. Adriana is just the Brittany Spears or Hannah Montana of the 2010s.

Thunderlips, you are just plain wrong on this. I'm sure there are plenty of heterosexual pedophiles that go to those concerts.

Nothing to see here folks. Turn your TVs off for the night and don't listen to a word the media is going to tell you this evening.

For the full news story turn into the ladies of "The View" tomorrow at 10 am for the full and true story.

Oh, and ,,,
"You have my deepest sympathies"

Just wanted to use my favorite line from the original "ALIEN" movie !! Why do a remake of perfection. Did you know by watching it the Alien NEVER ONCE jumps out to alarm or scare you, not once. It always slowly reveals itself behind the character in the movie watchers helpless view. Only Johnsy the cat jumps out and scares us. Only Johnsy!

Dan8267 says

Thunderlips, you are just plain wrong on this. I'm sure there are plenty of heterosexual pedophiles that go to those concerts.

True enough.

Hey, did you ever see the Tiffany Playboy Photoshoot. Oohhh yeah. Gonna put that in another thread.

Dan8267 says

Hey, Fort Wayne, you still think that freedom of religion is sacred?

Unrelated to the subject, as cbo said...blowing people up is wrong and illegal.

Another tragedy here. If Middle East muslims did this, they'll claim responsibility fast. They murder for tv ratings.

Putin Fanboy says

A bunch of teenagers killed and the first thing you think about are "Neoliberals and SJWs"? It's disgusting that you take delight the fact that murdered children might have a negative effect on your imagined political adversaries.

No, I'm trying to get people like you to see the threat of a Radical Religion. It's not going to stop, no matter how much you apologize and coddle them. Get them the Fuck OUT, and at the very least stop taking them in.

FFS, it's teenage girls being targeted now.

You guys are truly the enemies of Humanity if this attack doesn't change you mind.

This sucks because it's legal to see hoes in England.

FortWayne says

Unrelated to the subject, as cbo said...blowing people up is wrong and illegal.

Very much related to the subject. Religion is exactly what is motivating people to blow other people up.

Are you willing to open our borders to Muslims like Europe did? If not, you are being hypocritical.

Just remember, Trump tried to ban Muslims from entering the country. That's a bold step against freedom of religion.

Ceffer says

What, no selfys of them getting trampled.

the coroners pick up their phones off the ground later and well see them then. the selfie ones and the ones texting their moms of the danger they are in are the ones who usually don't make it. and the mothers who are texting back saying "oh my dear, please tell me what is going on" are not helping, they need to text get off your dam phone and run the hell out of there !!

Personal gain is motivator not religion. 20 people died, it's aweful and tragic.

Why the hell did they have to bomb a pop concert? Why couldn't they bomb a SJW convention or Ms. Magazine?

FortWayne says

So you are saying that Islam has nothing to do with Islamic terrorism. You sound just like the left.

rando says

Those funny little squiggles could mean anything. No reason to jump to the conclusion that it has anything to do with Islam. Maybe it's a new kind of emoji. It does look like a penis entering a vagina.

Dan8267 says

Looks like an Arab getting his ass and balls (two dots) licked by a Goat (reverse lower case "g").

Islam tells them to bomb to gain virgins and some other benefits. Islam is anti America. You liberals can relate.

So then you are against freedom of religion. That means all of your objections are hypocritical.

That's no Arab! That's piggy!

I'm not hypocritical, we are a Christian nation. Love for the country matters, it's what America is about.

Dan8267 says

Religions are not all the same, not even close.

Islam is much worse than any other no matter how you look at it. Islam is petulant and bitter, always claiming oppression, even from its beginning while it was slaughtering its way through the Mideast.

The Koran is an amazing document of psychopathology really. Check it out, the whole book reeks of butt-hurt from beginning to end. Be careful not to get infected if you touch it.

Putin Fanboy says

You people truly are a basket of deplorables.

True.

Manchester was an attack on teenagers. Rotherham (and the many others) was an attack on children. Girls specifically

What society doesn't put the protection of children and the next generation of Mothers first? Even the dopiest, most primitive barbarians protect their women and children.

Enoch Powell was right. He called it just like it came to be. Rivers of Blood.

Those who the Gods destroy, the first make Mad.

Theresa May should do this tomorrow:

1) Halt all immigration
2) Stop funding for all state-funded religious schools, regardless of denomination if necessary.
3) Ban any covering of the face in Schools as they are not compatible with British values.
4) Enforce the Goddamn Monogamy Law and arrest and deport Polygamists. Or, allow ALL Britons, regardless of religion or race, to have multiple spouses. One Law for All.

rando says

Religions are not all the same, not even close.

Isn't it amazing that all these years after 9/11 people still have to point out this obvious fact to the Dan's of the world?

But that won't stop Dan and the SJW types that try and project Islam's manifest problems on peaceful Christians, Jews, Hindus and Bahai's under the guise of "religion". Are they really this ignorant of the massive dogma and cultural differences between the world's religions? Is it just cowardice to call out Islam? Or is it self-loathing and feeling sorry for Muslims as if someone wronged them for not converting?

Putin Fanboy says

Innocent children are murdered and all you can think is about is how to use this tragedy to win arguments with fake enemies you've made on a website. It's truly disgusting and you should delete this thread.

Innocent Children are murdered - and after incidents like Rotherham were serially raped by the scores for more than a decade with the almost entirely Muslim perpetrators while the authorities hesitated to investigate and wrote all the reports off as "Cultural Norms" - and all you can think about is trying to shame somebody who's pissed off about it.

It's truly disgusting and you should delete your account.

You're an obstacle, get out of the way of the solution.

rando says

So far, only one newspaper site has anything about it: "The sick account Owys 663 threatened terror in Manchester an hour before the incident.

The message read: "Are you just forget our threat [sic]? This is the just terror."
