It's horrific.  Violence is becoming so commonplace, it breaks my heart.

Terrible scenes of devastation.

And all for what.

My brain just can't begin to understand the mind set of people who would do such a thing.

I don't really like the world we live in sometimes.

Have just been watching this on TV. Horrific :(
I have got to the point where I really don't want to go anywhere that's too crowded any more.
    I know that's letting these people win, but it terrifies me, it really does. >:(

I remember my parents avoiding very busy places when I was a child. It was not until I was older that I was told that it was due to the IRA bombings of British cities.

They never bomb anywhere on the west of Scotland as they had too many supporters here but it was an ever present threat in people's minds.

I would not be surprised if there was trouble at the big funeral tomorrow.

Hopefully the security will be secure enough for tomorrow.  I wouldn't visit London because of the IRA.  Milton Keynes worries me too, all that glass  :-\  ......... these types of people will never realise that bombing etc. does no good to their cause  >:( .........

I just can't understand in this day and age, with all our experience of past conflict and terrible crimes committed against humanity, that anyone could still want to inflict violence against innocent people.

You would hope that such things would be something to look back on in horror and know that they could never happen again.

Why can't mankind be man....kind?  :'(

'Cos men can't - be kind.  Generally they want what everyone else has  >:( ....... or their 15 mins of fame.  Usually it's men that take 'us' to War.  Kids fight in the playground, if you watch young boys they will pick up a stick and use it like a gun or sword, without being shown  >:(

London marathon this weekend. Just hope our security is good enough. Pictures from Boston were so scary. I was trying to visualise where it was as we went there on holiday once. We were near Boston green.

Was said today that London and Belfast have the most terrific surveillance, way ahead of ours in U S -- obviously.

I hate the fact we are watched all the time. It's intrusive and unnecessary most of the time.
