“Based on as-yet lack of evidence, it must be Russians and Christian anti-abortion terrorists.”

CLEARLY under orders from Trump. Time for The Hill and Politico to call for Trump’s IMPEACHMENT.

This is SICKENING - Trump orchestrates the bombing and killing of numerous people based on his hatred of women, and yet Trump supporters claim that Trump, being halfway around the world, somehow has nothing to do with it.

Only one way to get to the bottom of this - Ask TED CRUZ - if Cruz (yet again) blames Trump for the ‘atmosphere’ that caused these killings, then it is clearly TRUMP’s FAULT and Trump will need to be brought to justice.

Yeah they wouldn’t be shutting down the subway in the area if it was just some whacky balloon going off

[a fool in paradise]

The bang could’ve been (or still could be) only the start (or early end) of some larger scale attack (think the concert in France).

For real, seems it was an explosion at the box office outside and some people ? Died

[Despot of the Delta]

Could be possible false flag to get Trump to cancel the rest of his trip.

Strange thing is, that phone video pans the arena, and I see no evidence of excessive smoke.

[Stepan12]

Those blood thirsty Amish again!

[mware]

Wonder if the fatalities were from the stampede to get out?

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

[DIRTYSECRET]

There were plenty of pink balloons there. Of course they can pop! Add a mic u got some scary shit. Sounds like they shouda thought ahead.

[Sarah Barracuda]

They are saying at least 20 dead so far, hundreds injured..yeah I noticed that too but its a huge arena size of MSG or Staples Center, maybe the explosion was towards the middle or underground who knows

[I want the USA back]

Britain has millions of them and they have all day to make babies with their 4 wives and welfare for all while white Brits are thrown in jail for complaining.

[janetjanet998]

I haven’t seen any smoke in the pictures I have seen...one would think it would be n the arena

I have seen two people with bloody lower leg injuries walking out

[DocRock]

Sky news said “explosion in foyer”

[edh]

“its a huge arena size of MSG or Staples Center, maybe the explosion was towards the middle or underground who knows”

Sky News just reported that the “explosion” (their words) occurred near the foyer of the arena.

[ml/nj]

if this is proved to have been an explosion, there are "many reasons an explosion could occur - electrical, related to gas fittings...we just don't know."

Many [possible] reasons, but Islamic Activity is the best guess.

Is that some kind of new Taco Bell food?

[Godebert]

That’s just total fuff and garbage. What kind of mother takes her pre-teen daughter to see such a Pop-Tart? A mother with tramp stamp tattoo above her @ss is my guess.
