+1 me, this thread really did turn negative.

I think it's important to remember that everyone who attended the concert is a victim, including Ariana. She's only human and I'm sure she would be experiencing shock and survivor's guilt. Something like this doesn't just blow over and will affect people for years, possibly for the rest of their lives.

What I hope we can all agree on is that this attack was a cowardly act, considering the man responsible was specifically targeting children. I cannot understand how that thought could exist in one's mind. The fact that he waited for the end of the concert while everyone was getting ready to leave so that everyone would be rushing to get home just sickens me. These casualties are not soldiers who have spent years training and knew the risks going off to war. They're innocent children, young people who have barely lived their lives. I extend that to the young adults who were still in college or probably still on their first part-time job who will now never get the chance to live their life to their full potential as well as the parents and relatives who also lost their lives as they did something as simple as waiting for their children to come out after having a great night out. It is so inconceivable to think that life can end so abruptly and how quick a night out at a concert can change in a blink of an eye.

Politics, religion and anything else that may divide our beliefs aside, I hope we can all agree that this is a confronting event that no person should have to live through. My thoughts go out to the families and friends of the victims.
