Why do people troll? In this case, I guess they just get their kicks from seeing people retweet their tweets with sympathetic messages so they can laugh at them.
Cause a little social media chaos of their own, I suppose.

From Psychology Today:

Internet Trolls Are Narcissists, Psychopaths, and Sadists
Trolls will lie, exaggerate, and offend to get a response.

BBC NEWS: Witness "Imran" only heard one explosion. He was picking up his wife and daughter. He was standing outside.

(This might have been the same guy I just read about on CNN that was looking through the bodies for his wife and daughter and thankfully found them safe.)

"Ariana Grande is 'in hysterics' but physically OK as local law enforcement said that 19 people died and 50 were injured amid a suspected terrorist attack at her Monday evening concert at London, England's Manchester Arena.

Insiders told TMZ that Grande's concert slated for Thursday at London's O2 Arena could be canceled, as she's 'in no condition to perform,' in addition to ongoing security concerns."

Well yeah. They want a response and they'll do anything to get one. In this case, they want to make people look stupid by eliciting sympathetic responses to fake kids. They're probably off laughing about it on 4chan as we speak. Something like this, a mass tragedy that involves kids, is like a troll's dream. That's why 'don't feed the trolls' has always been on the money and I will always disagree with anyone that says you should try and open a conversation with them.

(I'm not talking about a person who is normal 99% of the time and makes one snarky post. I mean actual full-time trolls.)

BBC News Witness: Explosion occurred near the exit for the trains (?)

Police said they were dealing with a possible terror incident at the Manchester Arena, with witnesses claiming to have heard an explosion around 10.40pm.

Sources said the the initial theory was that a suicide bomber was behind the suspected explosion, which took place as revellers, many young, were leaving. It was feared the casualty toll may rise.

Counter-terrorism officials were assessing what caused the explosion. Officers from the police and the domestic security service MI5 were part of the investigation.

I am a fair few hours away from Manchester, down in Sussex. But all I can say is what I wrote on my Facebook account earlier tonight:

Nobody should ever, ever, ever go to a concert and not return home afterwards.


At least 19 people dead, and over 50 injured. At a concert targeted towards young teenagers. Who should be enjoying one of their best nights out. How many of us have been to concerts with friends to enjoy an amazing night out?


There are no words. Thoughts with those who have been needlessly killed - whatever the cause. Thoughts also with the families of those who have died, for the families desperately waiting to find their children or friends, to those who went for a night out and have witnessed horrific scenes that nobody should ever see, and for all those in the emergency services who tirelessly and consistently run towards those situations that instinct says to run away from.


Sending a whole lot of love to Manchester tonight.

My thoughts are also with Ariana Grande. She's had this happen and she's only 24. That's barely older than the teens at her concert.
