They might not have even made it in, but you can still do damage on the outside or at the gate if it is crowded.
Their goal is to cause terror. They want to inflict pain on the societies they are at war with and they see none as innocent. Killing children is significantly more impactful and terrorizing. Really, Ariana Grande is a perfect a foil for them. She is Western, dresses and acts in highly sexualized ways and they would consider anyone attending her concert as clearly sinful.
Read that for a few minutes. Are those people just being trolls or do that many people really believe this stuff is all fake controlled by Jews?
Also just like the Dallas sniper, there might have been echos making it sound like two bombs when there could be only one. For a long time that night they were looking for multiple shooters.
To inflict outrageous pain and terror on a country that is involved in the war on terror. The more vile the "better" from their perspective. These are people who light people on fire, behead 5 year olds, etc.
Right, and in as awful a fashion as possible. They want the headlines. This isn't like a political terrorist group trying to make political statements and disrupt business, these people WANT as many fatalities as possible and if they could somehow stack up 1000 2 year old dead on tv they would do it.
That isn't a goal, it is an action. The goal of the IRA was the good friday agreement, not to blow up a shopping center and revitalize downtown.
Huh? The IRA killed over a thousand people during their time with a good deal being non-combatants to reach that "goal"..... Are they as indiscriminate and ruthless as ISIS and their peers, no. Who brought up the IRA initially?
