Edonis 28,950 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 18 minutes ago, Whispering said: Yeah, I mean, they can get blown up along with everyone else. So I was in Lebanon during the 2006 bombings by Israel. I've experienced terrorist bombings as where prisoners were released onto the streets with attached bombs and they blew up. There were undercover spies who also practiced suicide bombings. The people responsible were hiding out in the southern and northern parts of the country and would observe society and general ongoings on people. Places that had higher security reduced the risk of these sort of attacks. Suicide bombers are less likely to follow through with their attacks if they see these kind of figures. Anyways, the most important thing is this situation regarding future attacks would be to heighten security. This is not a hard measure to comply with; people could easily be hired to watch out for these things and take the appropriate measures if necessary. And you're right at the end of the day. There is no such thing as a completely safe world anywhere. But having some increased measures could help. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEANGT 5,296 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 No, and this might be insensitive but I don't see why Ariana and especially other artists are feeling any kind of responsibility here. A large gathering of people was targeted. It has nothing to do with music or Ariana or anything. This kind of **** is so damaging to society because we think we have to start doing things to prevent another bombing but we really just have to live with the fact that this is always going to be a rare possibility. we can't give up concerts or our right to privacy or elect dictators like that's going to fix it. It won't. okay rant over Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laceface 2,964 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 No, this is one incident in how many million concerts of the past. Don't let them win with fear. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad that you agree with me. We need to keep in mind that venue owners and also the artists we see in such arenas are millionaires. Wouldn't hurt them to fork out a little more for additional security, even if this means increasing ticket price by 10 Dollars/Euros. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see what's wrong with increasing a little bit of security, especially at larger shows such as this one with 20K+ people. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they can increase it even more. Still, terrorists will just look for the soft target areas. They can move them further back, but they will still find the places which are considered soft targets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes these things happen, obviously, but upping security will do no harm even if need be close to train stations when such huge events are on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did we cancel aviation ? Or there was a terroristic attack during la Fete Nationale of France, Nice. Did we cancel National Holiday Celebrations ? Let's not be full of fear like a bullied kid, or narrow minded to go to extremes to stop our lives because of some terror attack. THIS Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
judxs 762 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 She won't cancel the tour, it wouldn't make sense for her to do that...I'm gonna be in this exact same arena in October to see her. I'd understand if Ariana cancelled the rest of her tour though, I can't imagine what she's going through right now - no doubt blaming herself for it.

FRANK1991 3,329 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I heard Ariana Grande canceled her Europe tour either way if Gaga doesn't cancel it's more likely that security in Europe Tour will be strict like adding metal detectors and x ray Cause once you let it go you better know it's gone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Child 18,997 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 2 hours ago, BloodyM said: More security should be added and everyone should be checked from head to toe before entering such huge gigs. Install detectors. Have a no bag policy in the Arenas. have sniffing police dogs. I never understood why searches aren't carried out for huge events. At least I've never been searched for gigs in Europe. I was at the Beyoncé show in Paris last year and they did searched us and really well honestly. The thing that I'm afraid of is when the show ends, people are usually all rushing to get out at the same time and there are usually no securities. ‘If religion be the cause of disunity, then irreligion is surely to be preferred.’ ‘Abdu’l-Bahá Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
