And you know who does the construction for that stage? Our union brothers and sisters! Shame on them throwing union labor under the bus like that! Why not just bring Thacher back from the dead and finish off the unions forever while you're at it?

Shame! Shame!

lol, they only care about people dying in terrorist attacks because it might make people vote for someone who will stop them from dying in terrorist attacks

The really messed up thing about that quote is that the poster is basically acknowledging they find their own ideology bankrupt and that it has no valid response to something like this, no conceivable way of providing a more desirable solution. It's like "drat ignoring the problem isn't going to work anymore, it's over for us"

And this is coming from someone who's probably further left than that retard is

Here's some alternative explanations: there was a panic in a crowded venue; that's what happens when you find suspicious things in this kind of situation; that's a normal night out in Manchester

I wish I could go "Sorry boss. Something blew up at work today, so I'm going to take a break and not show up again until I feel like it." and not get in trouble.

Idk I think ariana grande not playing any more shows is like the best possible outcome of this that doesnt involve more violence

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.

I don't actually want it to be a bomb you prick. I just want people to stop being completely ridiculous.

Also, I posted in here first because I thought it would be a sensible place to discuss it. Wowzer.

Yes, its me the person that believes it was a deliberate bomb being ridiculous.

endlessmonotony posted:

You believe but don't know, and your guessing helps nobody.

It's completely reasonable to assume its a terrorist attack given the reporting. I'm pushing back against being spoken to like i'm a loving idiot for doing so.

There's a bunch of dad's finding out their little girls are dead (or wounded) tonight (and that sucks). If they weren't right wing, they are now.

Any of you ever seen the movie the savior? A suicide bomber kills this guys wife and kid and his brain immediately breaks and he does this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YViRZmhcQa0

Then he joins the war in Yugoslavia or something for the rest of the movie.

Makes sense to me. Every time I see anything Eagles of Death Metal, I wonder if someone is going to attack the venue just to put double the fear into their fans.
