[kj] [OT] Manchester

[Jim Harper]

Sad to say, it's not much lower than what ISIS are doing to kids in Iraq and Syria.

Anyway, this sort of target guarantees global impact, global outrage. It's the only way for ISIS to show their doubting followers that they're not beaten yet. The only way to stop people fleeing in the night is to reassure them with some display of 'power'.

Jim.

 Agreed.  Going after this sort of
 target seems a new low...

 I dip in and out of the Gathering at the mo so have
 only just spotted this.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Yes, it’s shocking. Especially given so many were so
 young. I’m about 15 miles away and both my kids had
 friends there, as was the girl who lives opposite us. I’ve
 filled up a couple of times over it.
 
 
 The village I live in is part of Warrington district so
 like you remembered the Warrington bombings as well as the
 big IRA bomb in Manchester that killed no one, but
 perversely kick-started the citys' rejuvenation. The IRA
 had a couple of goes at Warrington; they tried to blow up a
 gasometer not long before the Bridge Street attack and shot
 a policeman. It was a teenager where I lived who was
 car-jacked and bundled into the boot by the IRA as they made
 their escape. I think that was after they shot the
 policeman?
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Anyway, utterly sickened and saddened by the whole
 mess.

 I do hope any Manc Gatherers and families,
 are safe and well. 
 
 Such as sad, barbaric and senseless attack. 
 
 
 Still in shock myself. Just thinking about it, young
 girls enjoying a night out and parents helping them fulfill
 a dream, and it all ending in carnage. Just so fucked up.
 Brought back some memories of a previous attack and how my
 country felt a collective shame over the Warrington bombing
 and murders. Even though it was not being done in our name,
 we took blame. 
 
 
 Stay strong all, stand together, these murderers will
 not win.
