I could see this being a huge security headache. Go to any sporting event/concert at an arena and there are huge crowds of people lining up to get inside or exiting the venue. There aren't enough bomb sniffing dogs to secure a situation like that. |

| Right after it happened, I saw something on twitter about a very loud sound at that arena, and that people were evacuating. Went to do some work, and then read about there being at least 20 people dead. Probably just young kids - so sad. |

One eye witness account from a dad who was there to pick his wife and daughter after the concert said it was just outside, by an entrance.

I saw it on the news, the explosion was loud. Sadly, where there's a will Teresa is a way.

We haven't had a major terrorist attack in the US in 16 years without a ban.
And I say this as someone who criticizes liberals inability to criticize Islam's views.

Even then. Maybe you haven't been paying attention, but the attacks taking place outside of the Middle East have bene radicalized people raised in the country the attacks took place, or at least within a country of union.
Refugees and muslims aren't the problem. Ideas and radicalization are.
BTW, you ever make comments like this when young white guys grab guns and go shoot up movie theaters, churches and elementary schools? . . . yeah, didn't think so.
