Manchester 'explosions': A 'number of fatalities' reported following Ariana Grande concert

[AnastasiaRomano]

Nobody has any proof a bomb exploded at this event.

Can I point something out? You don’t exactly have proof that a bomb didn’t explode… Your only “proof” comes from YouTube video commentaries put out by people who also have videos claiming to prove that the world is flat. Which makes your sources incredibly, shall we say, unreliable. I’ll trust the eyewitness videos and statements, thanks.

Now, please stop. This is incredibly disrespectful to the dead. You do this on every single thread relating to a terrorist attack – heck, you even did this on a thread about the Facebook Live murder in Cleveland a few weeks ago. Please stop. Respect the dead. Pray for the repose of their souls and for the wounded. (Since this is the Catholic Answers Forum, wouldn’t prayer for the dead and wounded be a far more fitting response than finding conspiracy theories on the internet?)

 

[Crusaderbear]

My suggestion is that we all just post around it and not engage. It only derails the thread and detracts from the magnitude of this tragedy.

You are so right. Praying for all the innocents in this case.

Yes, you’re right. I’m off to find the ignore button now…

If you believe this event was not a hoax, how do you explain the below quote from the PA Announcer at this event.
PA ANNOUNCER

His first goal would be to keep people from panicking and trampling people to death. Imagine you have a panicking crowd which includes little kids: what would you do? Would you not try to keep them calm *so they would be safe? *

Finding anomalies or people behaving in ways which seem odd are *not *evidence of a conspiracy or staged attack.

You have not proved anybody died in this hoax. I am exposing these hoaxes because I am a stanch Catholic who believes exposing these hoaxes is part of the life of living in Catholic Charity.

If it was a staged event, how do you explain the announcement? Wouldn’t the actors know there was nothing to panic about?

Let’s think about what would happen if this were a real event: there is a blast, people start screaming and scrambling to get out. People have been killed by trampling in these types of situations, and there are a lot of little kids in the crowd. What would be your first prioroty? How best to keep people safe?

Maybe by a PA announcement telling people there is nothing bad hapoening and they should proceed slowly rather than at top speed to the exits.

Which is exactly what hapoened.

Anomalies or people behaving invomprehensibly do not prove that something is a staged conspiracy.

Tell that to the poor souls in hospitals there with shrapnel wounds from the bomb. I strongly suggest you not get your news from YouTube.

After reading several of MindyO’s posts, both on this thread and elsewhere, I’m pretty sure that MindyO runs the YouTube channels in question, and is just trying to gin up views for her/his channel.

I do not own any of these YouTube channels. I am promoting my Catholic faith by exposing these hoaxes and other evils. God is giving me this mission to try to wake many people up, in hopes of lessening the Great Chastisement.

No, you are not promoting the Catholic faith. That much I have come to realize in that last thread you had closed down. Using this tragedy for your own entertainment purposes (unless there is some other underlying cause) is not charitable and decidedly not Catholic. I recommend though if you are serious about being a Catholic and promoting the Catholic faith you stick close by the Holy Father who is the shepherd of Catholics.

“His Holiness Pope Francis was deeply saddened to learn of the injury and tragic loss of life caused by the barbaric attack in Manchester, and he expresses his heartfelt solidarity with all those affected by this senseless act of violence,” a telegram released by the Vatican and signed by the Secretary of State, Cardinal Pietro Parolin stated.
“Mindful in a particular way of those children and young people who have lost their lives, and of their grieving families, Pope Francis invokes God’s blessings of peace, healing and strength upon the nation,” the telegram says.

This is the Catholic response to this tragedy.

PA ANNOUNCER “Ladies and gentleman, please take your time, there is no need to bunch up. There’s no problems here, just take your time and keep exiting the building, there’s no need to bunch up and run, take your time, there’s no problems here.”

so. the people who had left their offices before the second plane attacked on 9/11 were told their building was safe and to return to their offices.
what does this prove? people don’t have all the facts. perhaps the PA was trying to prevent a stampede which would result in more
deaths. it is best to learn to think for yourself and not believe
everything you see or read on the internet.

Just put them on your ignore list. I suggest everyone do that. It will help keep this thread on track.

I think we could be dealing with a troll…

I suggested that a while back too.

Well said.

This is a horrible tragedy.

I have been feeling very sad about what happened in Britain.

I am very sad for all of the countries and people who have been targeted lately by acts of terrorism.

I am very sad for these precious little souls who died and who were injured in this attack of violence in Britain, at this concert event.

I pray for them and for their families and other loved ones.

No one has shown any video of a bomb going off at this event; do you really believe, that if bombings of this magnitude happen at a concert event with this many people, that none of concert goers at the event would get any video footage of the bombings?
