Explosion at MEN Arena/Victoria Station

[SWP's back]

The terrible thought I have is how long until a football ground is targeted. The fact they have attacked a concert full of women and children shows they have zero conscience.

I'm ashamed to be part of the same species as people so inherently evil.

They don't give a fuck who they target mate, i don't even regard them as human anymore, they are more like programmed robots, utter scum

Fucking terrible I saw youngsters waiting for a glimpse of who ever was on at the back entrance yesterday afternoon. Whoever did this must have known it would be predominantly kids there last night.
I have just finished a railway shift and walked home, Bury new Road is closed from Strangeways Cheetham Hill Road from At Chad's Church and the last I heard no trains or trams into Victoria.

My sister and neice were there on Friday watching Take That. Being trying to ring them for the last 7 hours to make sure they werent there tonight and cant get hold of them. Really hoping they are at home, asleep. Its the not knowing that one way of the other that is ... its heartbreaking man ... too close to home ...

I Majorca and just woke up to this terrible news, it's a sick vile world where people don't come back from a pop concert due to some bollocks religious ideology. My thoughts are with the victims and families, us Mancs will pull together

Anybody who needs help in any way can go to the Etihad Stadium access gate 11, GMP

Escorted my sis and two of my nieces to watch The Weekend just over a month ago, i felt they were safe when i left them at the entrance after a few drinks on the way. I know it is silly but i keep thinking 'what if they tossed a coin' or 'maybe only a last minute technical glitch stopped them hitting Leeds academy'. It is the close to home thing as you say. They were planning an event at Manchester arena between themselves the other day for some singer in August. I don't want them to go tbh, they go to a lot of these things as well.


Seeing pictures now of people who are old enough if able to contact home, it really does sadden me greatly. If i hope they are ok, and i do, some other poor soul will still be gone, it's just a horrid feeling of helplessness.

Well now they have made families and kids targets, to these inhuman scumbags anything seems fair game.
