Yesterday, a terrorist killed 22 people, and injured 59 others in Manchester, England. They were going about their business on a Monday Night, some having attended an Ariana Grande Concert at the Stadium when an explosion took place in the foyer of the building. Some of them were even children, with at least 13 were under the age of 16, according to the BBC. One of the dead is an 8 year old girl.
It’s hard to think of anything to post in light of that. I refuse to talk about the person who committed these crimes – that is what they wanted. I will talk about the wonderful citizens of that city who turned to each other and helped those who needed a place to stay, or a ride home. Those in emergency services worked hard to make sure everyone who needed treatment got it, and investigate the cause. These people are heroes.
My prayers and thoughts are with the city tonight, as they try to heal from this. With the families of the victims, and the victims themselves.
If you want to help out, there is a Just Giving campaign ran by the Manchester Evening News to help raise money to help the victims of the attack.
BBC Page on the Manchester Attack is where I’m getting most of my information, along with friends who live in the Greater Manchester area.
