You can’t fix crazy or stupid.
switching between the BBC and SkyNews and instead of being upset at the terrorists - are angry at the Chief Police Constable of Manchester because he is late for the press update.
Apparently they is nothing more important than to brief the press.
LIVE: Fatalities.... oxymoron?
Was the mayor really holding that sign??
He is muslim,FWIW.
It sounds like it was on a timer or the bomber made a speech? Several reports security blocking exist and redirecting crowd, then a few beats later yelling RUN!
Doesn’t make sense. But they did know something very bad was gonna happen very soon.
BBC 20 minutes ago just said that they dont know who the terrorists or the goals were.
Can’t you just take a friggin’ guess - unless you are a stupid liberal elite - you will be right
Nigel Farage just happened to be doing his daily LBC radio show from Manchester earlier in the evening.
He tweeted later:
“The Manchester terrorist attack was directed at children. It’s going to be a very big shock for the UK”
Seems a fitting time for some Churchill quotes. May the inner Churchill rise up in our British brothers.
“One ought never to turn one’s back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it. If you do that, you will double the danger. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half.”
“If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.”
“You have enemies? Good. It means you’ve stood up for something, sometime in your life.”
“It’s not enough that we do our best; sometimes we have to do what’s required.”
“The price of greatness is responsibility.”
Not sure. But, he definitely said “attacks such as the jihad bombing in Chelsea were “part and parcel” of life in a big city. “It is a reality I’m afraid that London, New York, other major cities....”

You know....just deal with it.
People are asking why would the muzzies target young girls at a concert, but from their point of view it makes a lot of sense.
Many of them are quite open that they are waging a demographic war against infidels in the midst of Western Europe.
One side of the coin is for the muslims to have lots of babies, paid for in many cases by the European taxpayer.
And here the other side of the coin is to slaughter British and European girls, removing them from future motherhood and therefore having non-muslim children, in their own country.
Similar comment by John Kerry cost him the presidential election.
“Put some ice on it.”
thx for the Churchill....we have to remember that there once existed such men....
Reporterette on the BBC trying to suggest to a witness that this might have mostly be caused by the panic and not the bomb.
Clearly the teenagers and parents were the stupid ones and not the evil of the terrorists :-(
Don’t know who the terrorist was or what his goals were but for the first hour they were saying it was balloons and a stampede.
Must’ve been a drunken balloon like the Times Square driver. < /s >
They can only keep a lid on the details for so long. When videos start to surface it pokes a hole in their cover stories.
Emergency (police and ambulances) teams responded immediately. Does that happen with balloons or even fireworks often?
So much reluctance to assume an act is deliberate (regardless of ideology) when it is a fair assumption to make in the majority of these cases. For years they tried playing down the Islamists who were Hell bent on mowing down crowds with motor vehicles. Too late to lie about those anymore.
I saw this picture earlier in the thread - I have heard her name, but have no idea what kind of music she sings, etc. Now, to see this pic and think of little girls at the show, I have to ask, WTH? This is how she dresses with little girls as fans? No wonder young people look like hookers these days.
I’m no prude, and I actually think the outfit is attractive in an ‘on stage’ kinda way, but I don’t know if I’d want my 12 yr old kid being influenced by her (aside from the fact that she apparently hates the US, and as far as I’m concerned, you can never apologize for saying that).
But the Brits might say “bang” where we would say “explosion”. Like they say get a “jab”, like a vaccine, while we say “shot”.
I moved to New Jersey almost 30 years ago, I must have lived here 10 years before I could say “down the shore”, now I actually live “down the shore”. It’s weird.
I keep thinking that one of these atrocities will be enough to wake people up, but I keep being disappointed. More will have to die I suppose before people “GET IT”.
