Bomb blast in St Petergsburg

[ClaretAndJew]

Multiple dead.

Terror around the world.

[ClaretAndJew]

10 dead officially now, apparently.

Anyone arsed?

Depends who did the attack. If it was a radical islamist then no, probably not.

Am I missing something here with those comments ?

It's that these attacks are now so common, people have become desensitized to them. Especially if the source is from Islamist groups or radical individuals. Each attack fades into obscurity within a few days for the world, and within a week in the country affected. People don;t even bother to change their facebook filters anymore.

Think the families and friends of the dead will be!

I just meant, the lack of response to the initial post, and my reply some 40-50 minutes later with no replies. I mean, fair play. If it was a bomb blast killing 10 in England it would have garnered more replies, I would suspect.

I guess it's the way of the world now.

People have more sympathy for an asylum seeker being beaten up. I will never cease to be surprised by people's acts of inhumanity.

Without a shadow of a doubt.


And the reason for that is simple. Political agenda.

If I was arsed about every terror attack I'd no arses left in a month or 2.
It isn't that I don't care, but as it's been pointed out it's so commonplace it isn't a shock anymore.

London is worth a mention because the City didn't really stop functioning and probably wouldn't even with a bomb blast.

The UK is used to bomb / Terror attacks due to the IRA.
Spain had ETA.

Russia had the Chechen's.

Isis isn't the first terror group, unfortunately, so people will quite quickly move on from it.

Social media news feeds will have the usual stuff, but as it's Russia, probably less.

People have other things to do on a Monday than reply to your post immediately.

[ClaretAndJew]

Hahaha. Of course. But social media is such, that you can be busy and still reply.

It's not a whine, just curious.

Anybody whos breathed in the past 10 years will have to watch over their back

We're all waiting to find out what colour the bomber is so that we can decide whether we need another Guantanamo Bay, or if we need to spend more on mental health research.

Looks like a lone wolf with mental health issues to me.

Keep telling yourself that it works that way around.

Keep telling yourself that it works that way around.

This "if they are white, they are mentally ill" thing seems to only apply to mass shooters in the USA. Not seen it be used on terrorists as of yet.

A spotty teenager sick of being bullied at school does not class as a politically or ideologically motivated terrorist. The actual white terrorists, anders breivic, Tommy mair etc, get called what they are, terrorists.

Usually a response of "their motives are still unclear" is the official justification we get when Islamic inspired attacks take place.

10? Is that the best they can do?
