Some politician over there referred to this as an “attack”.

He will be arrested soon for a hate crime, if he hasn't already.

Everytime I see him - I feel compelled to apologize to my fellow Americans for supporting him. Not that we had a choice.

Donald Trump gave us a choice for the 1st time in my life.

Each time I contemplate that he really won it seems more miraculous.

Just one more piece of evidence that I'm moving through time backwards.

The Bushes Suck and John McCain is rehabilitating Benedict Arnold image. The America people are the tail gunner in GHW Bush's Bomber

“It doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to set off a bomb at the end of a concert.”

Perfect sense. They turn the lights on at the end of the concert...the would maximze terror for survivors or wounded.

Another witness Jenny Brewster told MailOnline: ‘We were exiting the building when it happened. We’d headed towards the main doors as Ariana was performing the last song because we wanted to beat the crowds, but – as we made our way there - a wall of security men blocked it and told us to go the other way.
‘Seconds later they shouted ‘RUN!’ and the explosion happened right behind them. Hundreds of people were running and screaming. Those men saved our lives.’

NHS sources tell @thesun that the explosion at #ManchesterArena was a nail bomb attack.
(NewsThisSecond cannot verify this)

Was that reported?? Horrible if so.

I was just telling someone today how awesome Israel is at medicine with those things. I have seen xrays.

Sky News just showed video from a car camera about 1/4th of a mile away from the arena, and you could hear a massive muffled explosion, even over the radio he had on.

That’d be interesting ... the politician was part of the Liberal Democrat party :-).

Police pulling a man from a car and arresting him. Lots of cussing and yelling.

Wow...

Makes you wonder if a bomb squad guy went up with it.

Hope not.
