Awful. Just awful. Terrorism like this is just so pointless.
Terrible, tragic.
And some of you were giving Kansas a bunch of grief for canceling shows based on a direct warning.
Just sayin'
This poor kid (Ariana) is going to have to live with the fact that 19 people died and many more injured because they came to see her.
Nobody wants to feel what she's going to feel forever.

For fuck's sake.
I'm gonna be taking my daughters to shit like that in a few years. It boggles the mind.
Nobody is blowing up Jason Isbell concerts....
I'm in agreement across the board with exception of the last statement about Kansas. Yes, canceling does in a way, give a moral victory to those who might feel so inclined, but it's only that... a moral victory. If the band had legitimate concerns based on direct intel provided to them by DHS, they had a brutally tough decision to make. In the end, they decided caution was prudent. I find no fault with that.While I feel sorry for Ariana (as well as all those affected obviously), she will have to realise that she is not responsible. She didn't decide to try and kill people with a suicide bomb. It wouldn't have mattered who was playing to be honest, or their nationality. The hate filled nutjob was just looking for a mass crowd to target and that's not exclusive to the UK/Europe (eg Boston Marathon). Manchester Arena unfortunately turned out to be an easy target due to the access arrangements it has with Manchester Victoria Railway Station so I've read online. As to Kansas cancelling, personally I feel that's giving in to the terrorists, YMMV.
Nobody is blowing up Jason Isbell concerts, just saying. Tell your daughters to like better stuff.

Imagine they had gone ahead with the tour and something like this happened. A lot of monday morning quarterbacks would be all over them for ignoring the warnings and leading people to their deaths. I wouldn't want to live with that weight on my shoulders
