A security guard at the 2017 Ariana Grande show where 22 fans were slaughtered has admitted having a “bad feeling” when he saw the suicide bomber minutes before the attack — but didn’t do anything because he feared being branded racist,...

Kyle Lawler, then 18 and paid just $5.50 an hour, had been alerted to a suspicious-looking Salman Abedi sitting near an exit to the Manchester Arena with a big bag and dressed in heavy clothing on a hot May night, he told a public inquiry into the attack.

As Lawler and a colleague watched the 22-year-old terrorist from 10 feet away, Abedi “became fidgety” and tried to avoid eye contact, Lawler recalled.

“I just had a bad feeling about him … I felt something was wrong,” Lawler told the hearing, saying he felt “conflicted” because even though he “felt that he did not belong there” he “did not know why.”

”I felt unsure about what to do. It’s very difficult to define a terrorist,”...

“I did not want people to think that I was stereotyping him because of his race,” ...

“I was scared of being wrong and being branded a racist …

Sad. And the consequence: 20+ people were killed.

Ah, the downside of political correctness. Elites lie so that people can die.

Diversity does not work in white majority countries.

You may ask, what about other countries?

Other countries arent idiotic enough to believe or push for diversity.

Hopefully, Lawler is now on the dole and earning 0.00 pounds at any security job.

Didn’t the general at Ft. Hood say, “...And as horrific as this tragedy was, if our diversity becomes a casualty, I think that’s worse,”

people. WE already are all racists unless we kneel and prostate our wallets, our children, our votes and our livelihoods to militant wackadoodles. The fear of being called a racist should be ancient history by now. It should run off our backs the same way being called a ‘cracker’ or a ‘hillbilly’ or ‘albino’ should roll off our backs. Accept you will be called racist in America no matter what you do or say. Then do the right thing. Because you can laugh at being called a racist but the internal emotional torment of not taking action that could have saved lives will haunt you the rest of your life.
