Man that is sad. And this is a potential reality anywhere. I'm honestly surprised we haven't seen more arena, mall, school bombings here and abroad. The lack of security is frightening. As a parent, it leaves me constantly on edge.
Absolutely
There are tons of reports going around that they weren't checking bags

Could have just as easily happened at Bellator last night. The security at most events is pathetic.

Doesn't matter where it happened. People died.
You have misconstrued my intent. I'm simply saying that this is what you should expect when you welcome those poor refugees with open arms into a civilized culture.

Man Police now saying the controlled explosion was precautionary and was just a pile of abandoned clothes. No second device found as yet.

I was just coming here to comment that is likely. Just like Boston bombing and Bali bombing, you should always anticipate a second attack. II attack could be another bomb or depending on the location a gunman.

If you've survived the first blast, and you are not immediately next to it rendering Aid to the injured , you should likely shelter-in-place. In a stadium like that you're probably safer Sheltering in the bathroom then you are running into the large concentrated crowd out the front door as is anticipated.

You can die in the Stampede or you can die in a secondary attack.

Sadly, this is the kind of thing we have to think about.
The stampede reportedly did cause some of the deaths and injuries

I thought I had read earlier it happened right outside the entrance, it that not what they're saying now?
Nope you're right, it apparently happened outside the arena
But now hearing reports of more than 1 bomb

The bags not being checked I mentioned because it's being reported that it may have been a suicide backpack bombing

It's crazy how many conflicting reports are going around
There's a video going around Twitter of a guy in front of the Isis flag trying to take responsibility but dude sounds American and I dunno, seems like a troll

I don't get why idiots try to troll or make jokes about shit like this

Sad shit.

I could see the weaker humans getting trampled in a fight or flight stampede after the explosion

Its lame.
They do it because it is an opportunity to take credit for something...often the initial story sticks no matter what is learned later.

guy with flag is an idiot for putting himself on video.

People still think it could never happen to them...until it does.
I'm worried about NY, always have been.
Especially with anti-Russian propaganda & Fedor.
Took me 41 years to finally go.
I've lived a good..... long ....life.

I'm just glad in the good ol' US of A, we finally have a President who want to keep these filthy savages out of our country.

May the wings of liberty never lose a feather.
