Terrorist Attack in Manchester, England

[Darth Sibilus]

My thoughts stretch out to all those affected by the heinous acts of terror displayed in Manchester this morning, targeting innocent children, including some family members. However in this time of darkness, I would like to remind you all that the people behind this attack are not true Muslims. We must endeavour to unite ourselves, no matter our ethnicity, against terrorism and show that we are not afraid of them, despite what they do, our resolve to end their atrocious crimes will not falter.

Atleast 22 dead, 50+ injured. Horrible news.

Took place about 10:30pm last-night in my home city of Manchester, at the Arena after the Ariana Grande concert.

Suicide bomber in the exit foyer. As you say, this was a concert for all ages and sexes, but mostly for her young audiences and fan-base. An awful, awful incident once more in our broken world and so soon in England again following the London attack.

My heart goes out to my home city, and for those family and friends affected by this assault on our resiliance, hope and courage.

The city has risen from a terror attack before, and it will again, for you will never find a city so strongly built on community and strength than Manchester.

The people of our City showed that they're able to stand together in the face of adversity. The amount of quick support that was garnered for the families, stranded children, and for the emergency services who worked tirelessly is astounding. As much as it has shaken me, especially given that I'm nowhere near home right now, I've never been more proud to call myself a Manc.

Thank you for alerting me to this last night, Chris.

Speculation does not help anyone. We have no information on the suspect at this moment in time.

Salman Abedi, 22, is Identified as Manchester Arena Bomber

It's all so shocking because no one could have predicted it.

People are so quick to cover for them. "Just speculation," they say, but we all know it's true.
And it is.

Every time.

"Still standing strong, we will be united, cannot shake us, blah blah."

Unpopular perspective perhaps, but I found this an interesting read nonetheless. Keep in mind - this was posted prior to the details being released, and it's an important facet of the discussion at large.
