Update: 22 dead, Bombing in Manchester Arena during Ariana Grande concert

Link

Right now, story still in development, 19 children confirmed dead, several abductions, and confirmed bomb contains nails.

I'm not personally a fan of Ariana Grande, but I would NEVER attack her or her fans! This is pure sadistic and the terrorist that killed 19 innocent children put to Justice! My condolence to the families

doubt it was all children.

Majority of attendees were young, 50 people injured confirmed, and there are abductions as well.

@Jebus213: Sad but true.

That is so wrong attacking a concert venue like that, it's going to be mostly young people, people just starting out their lives and wanting to have fun.

It's still early to cast blame, but I suppose we can make assumptions here that like all the other attacks who this was.

Another day of "what the hell is wrong with people?".

How dare people kill little girls that others are trying to rape in a grooming gang. It's outrageous.

Really, right wing zealots pick this tragedy to host bigoted Islamophobic "cartoons"? Islam is, has, and will always be a religion of peace. Stop being a hater and read.

Why don't we invade every unstable shit country in the middle east, leave and then nuke it?

Hell, the resulting glass would of more worth to the world then most of those places as nations.

Lol nice trolling. Have you read the Quran? It's very pro-blowing up people and pro pedophilia. If you think that's normal then I guess you're also pro-blowing up people and pro-pedophilia?

While we don't know about the perpetrator yet, it's safe to assume that, being an Ariana Grande concert, most of the victims were teenage girls.

RIP to the 19 who lost their lives. And for those who are injured, get well soon.

Wow that is some hate you got there.

Then why aren't all Muslims in Jail?

Finally someone is talking a lick of sense. The victims should not have this thread hijacked by Islamophobia just because some loon who might not even be Muslim (Timothy McVeigh) decided to kill innocent people.

@KHAndAnime: I've read it, and I know you haven't. Trolling has gone to shit on gamespot.

The internet is full of little Hitler-wannabe genocidal maniacs these days.

Well if they were all blowing themselves up, there wouldn't be any left now would there?

Hey. Since the investigation to this attack is still ongoing I suggest to be careful on what you share related to the attack. If you share something that looks credible from somewhere like CNN and other mainstream news sources go ahead and share it. Also please be considerate to the people affected by this attack.I hope everyone affected by this attack is doing okay.

@FireEmblem_Man:

That's definitely gonna put a bad rep about future Arianna Grande concerts.

Well, it was a likely suicide bombing according to NBC.

And suicide bombings are likely caused by Islam.

So...

islam is a religion of peace. indonesia has the highest muslim population on the planet but they're not going around blowing themselves up. this was an arab-terrorist who hid behind islam.

people are going to accused me of being racist towards arabs..first of all, you can't be racist towards arabs because they are historically an oppressive race

@KHAndAnime:

Of course Muslims, the perfect scapegoat for any terrorist attack. Thank god I don't have to fight that level of prejudice.

It's not my fault they have a pattern to blow themselves up. If you choose to be ignorant and ignore that pattern, that's your choice. It's a real issue that needs to be taken seriously.

Sadly, much of OT hates Ariana Grande and her fans. So the young victims are unlikely to get much sympathy from this board.

Your solution to terrorists murdering thousand of people a year is to murder 100's of millions of people.

Do you have a garbage education/IQ like the rest of your far right ilk?

@KHAndAnime:

And it is taken seriously but let's not jump to conclusions before exhausting every possibility. Generalization is never the right way to go.

Does anyone remember Ariana saying this to her fans?

Yup. Running around getting high off Trump's ass sweat.

one fan made that claim and the entire stupid mainstream media ran with it because they needed ad revenue

People saying stupid shit and people meaning it are two different things.

@Jebus213: So true lol

Every attack just adds more enemies for terrorist groups, one day I hope countries unite in a mass attack and send them to the deepest parts of hell in pieces.

I know those terrorists are motivated by a hatred. But really, there are so many better things you could do with hate. We all hate something. I felt so much hatred at times that it physically hurt me. It doesn't make us blow people up, though. Cause we're not that weak.

My condolences to the innocent people involved. And strength to those injured. Muslims and Christians and this and that... you know, they were people like you and me trying to make something of life.

People seem to forget that Islam is divided into different sects, just like Christianity is. Not all sects are peaceful.

ISIS supporters are celebrating the attack I hope they suffer the worst of fates. For any would be scum bomber out there the North of England has endured worse you haven't instilled fear just pissed a lot of people off.

I heard an update that it's 22 dead, 59 injured... Christ...

@Jebus213: so how does racism prevent terrorism?

The authoritarian right constantly go on about how liberals are weak against terrorism yet they never offer any solutions themselves. You're all just talk, using the deaths of dozens of people to fuel your selfish agenda

How low can you go?

I thought the "mother of all bombs" killed all terrorists.

Salafi, Wahabbi, Sunni, Shia, Shiite, and militant groups like ISIS, Hezbollah, Hamas.... it's all very fractured thanks to Saudi Arabia and Israel.

When it comes to any of these groups, I align myself with Hezbollah and Shia Muslims for different political drives. Anything that kills ISIS is good in my book. Those people have no moral what-so-ever.

I had two friends who were there, they were on the other side of the arena so they made it home safe.

The city was in chaos for the night, I was in the area as I work near by.

Hotels were letting people in for the night, taxis turned meters off to take people home.

Anyway my heart goes out to the families of the victims

There must've been lots of people there at the time of the attack... WOW.

What about Ariana Grande, I suppose she was there at the time of the bombing as well ?

The Manchester arena can hold up to 21,000 people.

I believe it happened as she got off stage.

So at least it's good the scale of the attack was small compared to the people that were present there.

Still, how was someone able to smuggle in a bomb with rules being as strict as they are now? People get frisked before they enter a music event like this.

they could have brought in the parts seperately and made the bomb there.

Confirmed troll.

The Manchester arena had poor security.
