Um, I’m going to call bullshit on much of Debra Messing’s “allergies”.

The sicker thing is that I wouldn’t be surprised if the POS bomber chose this particular concert BECAUSE it was young kids, teens, pre-teens, etc. If you look at the photos of the missing they all look like kids in high school or first year of college.

I hope your child stays innocent forever and never has to grow up before his time. I’ve been holding back tears ever since I read this news but your post broke the dam. I can’t believe this world we are living in now. My wife and I want to have a child but I’m not sure I can do it. I just don’t understand people…

I can’t stop crying.

I replied because I thought I could inject a bit of common sense.

I’ve lived in the UK for a long time, and Brits are generally kind, but Northerners are very kind. They’re not soft spoken and they’re blunt, but they would be incredibly kind to children in this situation. Manchester is a big city, but people behave as though they are in a small town.

I’ve been in 3 bomb incidents in the UK - one explosion and two mass evacuations and defused bombs.

(I’ll just reply to you instead of that troll.)

As Mr. Rogers said- look for the helpers. This type of event is so horrifying, but knowing that there are people helping gives me hope.

Friendly reminder that “Locomotive Jones” is a well-known racist troll. Do not engage, do not ungrey, thanks.

There will also be people falsely claiming to have been there. They come out whenever a terrorist attack or other disaster happens. I’ve already seen a couple on Twitter.

God, it doesn’t even occur to you, sometimes, the new ways people can and do find to be fucking despicable. All these families freaking out, unable to find their loved ones...... it’s just making me sick. If there IS a hell, there had better be a special place in it for the sorts of people who get their jollies from…

Just a note to be extra cautious about retweeting missing people tweets; there are plenty of utter fucksticks putting out fake missing person tweets that are getting swept up into the media cycle.

Jesus Fucking Christ. If it is a deliberate attack (and signs point to yes, if the note on CNN that there was a controlled explosion of a second device is correct, but we’ll see), I finally, finally am feeling bleak about humanity. Yes, it’s taken this long. The dead and injured are likely girls 10-13. And yes, I…

I’ve been watching the Beeb’s coverage on this, and it’s devastating. Tons of unaccompanied kids - preteens - wandering around. But I’m also inspired by the basic kindness of Brits when they get beyond the stereotypical reserve; taxi drivers offering to help for free, adults taking kids in until they can get their…

And most of the victims will be teen and tween girls. Even those who weren’t physically injured are going to be scarred by this for years. I am heartbroken for them.

Devastating. Seeing those young women running out of the venue screaming in terror is horrifying. Concerts should be a place of joy and freedom, not fear.

A concert that is likely 80% 9-15 year old girls.

I mean, I personally think name tattoos are tacky and basic as hell. Like, girl, you do you, but don’t pretend like all-lower-case-cursive-name-on-your-neck tattoos are like, OBJECTIVELY better than a tweaked-out bear. People have opinions. Get used to it.

I hate to be Team Tattoo Artist, but just like you can decide where you want your tattoos, he can also decide what work he’ll stand behind and what he WON’T. Clearly you have artistic differences, as evident by your contempt of his other work. So why would you use him in the first place?
