I made the mistake of going on Reddit. Apparently everything will be solved if Islam was just banned from Europe. Did people feel like that during The Troubles or were just too many Catholics for that to be feasible?

TTerrible posted:They're convening COBRA at 9am. You should probably let them know it isn't neccesary as Greater Manchester police haven't tweeted "confirmed" yet. COBRA gets convened whenever there's any large scale crisis, which this obviously is. It doesn't confirm anything one way or the other.

Cool. baka kaba and I are talking past each other. The goalposts are being moved from "it's not an explosion" to "it's an explosion, but not a bomb" If the calls not to hype things up and assume it was a terrorist attack had come in the first 15 minutes I'd have been in total agreement. What I can't wrap my head around is the hangup over Great Manchester police tweeting "confirmed: terrorism" given all the eye witness reports, videos, etc. This is the poo poo that gives D&D the reputation it has.

Are you aware that I didn't plant it, or want it to be a bomb? Perhaps we could try having a discussion about the event rather than trying to work out who is technically correct about what is confirmed by Greater Manchester polices twitter account.

I came to this thread to keep up with commentary on it because historically UKMT has been good to read during this kind of stuff. shrike82 posted:I guess you weren't around the past few terrorist incidents but UKMT has a tendency of viewing these incidents as potential threats to leftism/Corbyn, and reacting as such.

Maybe you know more than you're letting on.

If you don't like being spoken to like you're a loving idiot, you might want to try not being a loving idiot. We don't know what the hell is going on yet, and "a random idiot on SA" isn't a very reliable source.

endlessmonotony posted:Yes, because they're guesses. Guesses are not good information, which is what this thread requires. Here is some factual, confirmed information: There was an explosion. The police are treating it as a terrorist incident. Eyewitnesses report shrapnel injuries. Eyewitnesses report nuts, bolts, screws in the area of the explosion. Police carried out a controlled explosion on a suspect package that turned out to be discarded clothes. The explosion happened in the foyer. The foyer was the main exit for the event. The explosion happened as people were leaving. Counter terrorism units have responded. The prime ministers statement was: "We are working to establish the full details of what is being treated by the police as an appalling terrorist attack." I am a loving idiot oval office bomb fetishist for taking any of this to mean it may have been a bomb intentionally planted to injure people.

Your facts 1, 3, 4, 6 and 8 are not confirmed, and the rest could be explained as well by a water pipe bursting. I mean I think it's likely this was a terrorist attack, but there's not enough info available to confirm it yet - and some of the "eyewitnesses" have already been caught lying. All you can do is wait and accept we don't have enough information.

Like if your posts didn't have time stamps on them I'd guess they were made like 20 minutes after the intial report. It was a nail suicide bomber outside the venue. The police and news have been saying this for hours. they have a probable ID on the person and they will probably release it in the morning. This whole 'we cant know if it was a bomb" troll is hours stale and its embarassing. I have to assume you are just being deliberately ignorant at this point.

Yes, Just Last June a sitting MP, Jo Cox, was assassinated by a white supremacist neo nazi. That if this is a bombing it could be another one by them would not be surprising and gently caress the fascist fucks.
