This is How Close Taylor Swift's Vienna Concert Came to Unspeakable Tragedy
PJ Media ^ | 8 Aug 2024 | Rick Moran

You have probably heard about the serious attempt by ISIS sympathizers to carry out a terrorist attack at a Taylor Swift concert in Vienna and the cancelation of that leg of her tour.

Two teens, aged 17 and 19, have been arrested and a 15-year-old has been taken in for questioning. A search of one of the residences of the suspects revealed chemicals and materials to construct homemade explosives.

“The situation was serious, the situation is serious. But we can also say: A tragedy was prevented,” Austria’s Interior Minister Gerhard Karner said Thursday.

The New York Post is reporting that the plot involved driving a car into a crowd outside of Ernst Happel Stadium, the venue for all three Swift concerts, blowing it up, and attacking individuals in the crowd with machetes.

The younger suspect had just been hired on as a security guard for the venue.

We're now learning that the plot had progressed to the point where the preparations for carrying it out were almost complete. The bomb that the suspects were building was almost finished, and the younger suspect had just been hired as a security guard.

The two young men had been under surveillance by Austrian authorities, according to news sources. It's possible their social media footprint raised red flags after authorities confirmed they had both been radicalized online by the Islamic State...

I don’t think Tater is running for anything and she has billions. She don’t need the sympathy story from the Boyz and Gurlz in the turd rolling, far left “media”. Save that crap for Kammy from Jammy.

The 15 yo was hired for a security position? Or the 17 yo? Either way, doesn’t seem real advisable.

Taylor Swift turned out to be a dumb disappointment. She went raunchy and political. She’s a one-note Charlie and will be as irrelevant as Britney Spears and Christina Aquilera in 5 years. Another vapid popstar warbling about Ex BFs and being ignored. I see porn or a Big Brother Season 47 in her future in 2028

The moment you realize that Taylor Switt has better security than Donald Trump…

She’s far left which means she’s likely pro-Hama. I wouldn’t have wanted it to happen but I wonder how much her viewpoint would have changed if this were successful.

They’re fortunate it happened in a country where the government would stop it instead of allowing it to happen and capitalizing on the disaster.

OTOH, how would a bunch of lefties react to being targeted by muslims?

I dont think it was Colonel Mustard nor a candlestick.

Watch what happens next. Sometimes it isnt a matter of whos dog didnt bark but whos is barking a bit too loudly.

Give me a church of over 100,000 hysterical yet sympathetic young female priestesses preaching my gospel and I will be riechskanzler by this time next year.

No mess to clean up and no physical evidence to bury.

I see your vocabulary to describe women is stuck in 5th century BC.

Well I’ve heard some of Swift’s recordings and it doesn’t sound like music to me. It’s just bad poetry if anything.

I know she is probably the most famous and influential woman in history, but to be honest, I can not recall her being overtly political.

That being said. Islam doesn’t care. Islam destroys and kills everything it doesn’t approve of. Islam may save a knife sharpener for its non Islamic allies in the future. Bu that’s all they’ll get when Islanm rules the west.

And the great thing about music and art is that we can all have different tastes. Some people even like Jackson Pollack’s paintings :)
