snoop1130 Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 English woman releases 22 balloons in Bangkok park for victims of Ariana Grande concert attack By Laurel Tuohy Lena Abuelfailat comes from Manchester, UK, where the Ariana Grande terror attack took place last week leaving 22 people dead and several others injured. Abuelfailat was devastated when she heard about the attack. She told Coconuts, “You never expect for this to happen in your hometown. It’s a sad time. All over the world really.” She heard that people were releasing 22 pink balloons wherever they were in the world, as a tribute to the 22 victims of the attack. They are using pink balloons because similar ones were released from the rafters at the Manchester Arena concert, just before the attack. It was reported that several young girls were clutching the pink balloons as the blast happened.

I distinctly remember a TV news bit about a group of ladies making 'peace' quilts in the days right after the 9-11 terror attacks. Too bad ISIS did not buy into it. I know it makes people feel like they are doing something...when the real thing you need to do is get your government out of the mess they have created in the world and pink balloons or quilts are not going to accomplish that.

anon467367354 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I wonder how many sea turtles or other creatures will think they're jellyfish and die from eating them. Releasing balloons do nothing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The victims burn candles, release balloons, pray.... The terrorists and supporters laugh. And the victims wait for the next act of Muslim terror. Maybe it is time to do the same back? Tenfold?

Don't care where they land she will still be guilty of littering. Should show more respect for a country she is visiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
