Jeod Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 Don't know if anyone here is from Manchester or has friends there, but here's at least one American paying attention to worldwide events today. At a concert of all places... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NodGuy Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 I was having a lot of fun and enjoying myself playing APB earlier, and when I took a break I opened up Facebook and saw the news. I was, still am, in complete shock. My thoughts are with all those who are affected by this. If you like you can see video footage, link below, at the area and the moments this happen, but the actual blast isn't captured. https://www.rt.com/viral/389312-manchester-arena-blast-videos/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Einstein Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 Believe it or not, they mentioned it at the end of "Dancing with the Stars" last night (wife watches it). Sad day... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPRA2 Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 Never really cared for Ariana Grande, but I know she's big in the music industry.... so far there are about 23 confirmed dead (I heard about 10 of them were under the age of 18), and over 50 are wounded..... So far they identified the believed assailant as 22 year old Salman Abedi... But since he hasn't been officially identified by the coroners, they have not come out with any more information... BUT NOW They have also arrested 23 year old man who has not been named as of yet, who was suspected in carrying out the attack... News is all over the place, so nobody really knows which is true.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OWA Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 It was pretty horrible hearing about this today. It always stings a little when something like this happens in your own country. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venom Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 I heard they are deploying a lot of military under the command of police to secure high profile events from attacks and also raised the threat level... anyone in the UK see any soldiers around? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The motive is Jihad, as it has been for the last 20 years. Don't act so surprised >_> 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JigglyJie Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Quote anyone in the UK see any soldiers around? With the Prime Minister authorising Operation Temperer to be deployed, there are about 5000 British Army soldiers patrolling the streets, much of them in Manchester and London, such as Westminster, Buckingham Palace, etc. I haven't seen any soldiers but in my city (Norwich) the armed police have been deployed, which is rare in of itself considering British police do NOT carry firearms by default, that is handled by a separate unit. Though that being said there's already controversy of soldiers being deployed because it's a throwback to The Troubles in Northern Ireland due to the army patrolling those streets and it... ended rather badly. But yeah, the sad part is, the security services knew about the bloke and did nothing about it, according to the Home Secretary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPRA2 Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 I mean of course ISIS takes responsibility of it, but I highly doubt that's the case.... They "Claim" responsibility for literally everything now. They are just trying to make themselves feared and look big, which they aren't..... This year is turning out to be almost as bad as last year..... Faith in humanity is plummeting my bois and grils....... probably the greatest source to use, but.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
