Saw the first reports of this before I went to bed. Terrible. AFAIK noone I know there was at that concert, but had it been a few days earlier I had a lot of friends in the area at the Iron Maiden concert there. Senseless loss of young lives.
The difficult we do immediately, the impossible takes a little longer.

Sad to see that, again

Any place with lots of people seems to be a target these days, for indiscriminate killing, by certain individuals/groups whom we cannot mention or do anything about them so as not to be rude, until they kill us all.

My thoughts go out to those affected by the mindless, senseless killing.

They have already identified the culprit according to the lunch time news and they were known to the authorities.  Yet another they are watching, but appear to do nothing until it's too late.

I'm sick with that. It's not the only problem with the world and it goes far back when the first homo killed his cousin for a banana or a female or something (no written records back then), so one can blame the other for thousands of years in the past. But these actions are despicable.
I just hope that in the future, all elements of  our species might stop being foolish, supestititious, raged and bloodthirsty, all at the same time.
What to say about the victims and the people who knew them and loved them? I feel sick.
