May 23, 2017 First victim 18, second victim 8 and a dozen accounts of seriously injured children. This is horrific.
May 23, 2017 One of the victims is an 8 year old girl, whoever did this I wish his worst nightmares come true, who does something like this to innocent kids
May 23, 2017 Holy s---, how terrible. When will this evilness end? The people of the United Kingdom are amazing people and don't deserve for this to happen. Stay strong, Brits. We stand by you. God save the Queen. Love, America...
May 23, 2017 I Agree. However, unfortunately, it will never happen. They are all brainwashed and raised to believe this is ok and normal. Isis immediately and proudly takes credit every time they follow through and succeed. If I was able, I would proudly defend my country and help take all of these f---ers out at this point. Without a tear shed for them. Everyone around the world needs to Wake Up
May 23, 2017 I'm normally cool with so-called 'edgy' jokes & s---, but not this. An 8 year old girl died going to a concert which was probably going to be the best night of her life Think of all the devastation it has caused among families. Have some f---ing respect Even more heartbreaking as it has hit so close to home for me
May 23, 2017 He wasn't in the concert, he was waiting by the exits, waited for a large group to.leave the concert, and blew himself up, IS have just claimed responsibility
May 23, 2017 They normally do but apparently they didn't last night, not at the front gates anyway IS will claim responsibility for anything to instill fear in everyone & make them seem more large-scale/threatening. On this occasion it does seem to be them though. Sickening
May 23, 2017 When an explosion killed 22 people at a concert in Manchester, England, late Monday, media organizations across the English speaking world rushed to break the news. That was the right call. An apparent mass murder of that scale is newsworthy. A self-governing people cannot shrink from facing the reality of terrorism. There are perpetrators to catch, victims to mourn, and survivors to help. And large majorities of the public want to be informed when a probable terrorist attack is perpetrated inside a major Western city. Unfortunately, the very act of publicizing an act of terrorism cannot help but advance the ends of terrorists, who try to generate as much media attention as possible to stoke fear. That tension ought to inform coverage of terrorist attacks more than it does. There was a time when the ideological right was foremost in asserting a similar position. Here’s conservative hero Margaret Thatcher speaking on the subject in 1985: Civilised societies cannot use the weapons of terrorism to fight the terrorist. But we must take every possible precaution to protect ourselves … And we must try to find ways to starve the terrorist and the hijacker of the oxygen of publicity on which they depend. In our societies we do not believe in constraining the media, still less in censorship. But ought we not to ask the media to agree among themselves a voluntary code of conduct, a code under which they would not say or show anything which could assist the terrorists’ morale or their cause while the hijack lasted? In our own era, the American right’s leading politician, Donald Trump, complained that the media was not giving terrorists enough attention (his assessment of coverage proved inaccurate). The outlets most friendly to him reflect that desire for more coverage. But this needn’t be a partisan or ideological matter, insofar as simple changes can improve the coverage of terrorism that is published without eliminating it. First and foremost, even early reports of a terrorist attack should include more context to help distraught readers and viewers make informed assessments of the threat terrorism poses to them and their families, the question that will be on many of their minds. In a 2015 Pricenomics analysis, Nemil Dalal found that “terrorism deaths are the single most heavily covered type of death per capita in the first pages of the New York Times compared to every other way a human can die.” That approach inevitably creates a false impression that terrorism is a major source of death in Europe and the U.S. The appropriate response is not to stop running articles about terrorism––it is to adopt the default inclusion of contextual information like this chart: ttps://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/05/terrorism-is-aimed-at-the-people-watching/527724/?utm_source=feed
May 23, 2017 This makes me sick to my stomach. When the f--- is someone going draw a line in the sand against terrorism.
