Ariana Grande has been confirmed to be ok. BBC says British police are treating the blast as possible terrorist incident.

If this was an attack, I'm surprised that it occurred at the end of the concert, as is being reported.
I'd imagine the attacker wanted to strike as people were filing out in mass after the show. It not only would wreak havoc around the blast zone but spark a potential stampede. These are very nefarious and evil people (regardless of who is responsible) and I have no doubt that they planned for such an eventuality.

If this was a terrorist attack, they were likely trying to influence the election.

If this is indeed a terrorist attack, I hope that the British people stay strong and recover from this.

And if the perpetrator is a Muslim, then I hope that the Muslim people don't have to suffer because of the acts of a few.

I never understood why the left was pro-Islam, especially Sunni Islam. They're against everything we stand for. If it's violent jihadists, they probably targeted this concert because they saw it as evil feminism.

Wtf Beet. This kind of thing is expected from dirks, but you are a mod. Act like it.

Supporting the right of people to freely practice their religion in peace =/= being "pro-" one religion

So if someone's "religion" tells them it's ok to abuse their children, you would support that?
