    Default Manchester Atrocity.

    On behalf of the members of the Sails of Glory Anchorage, I extend my heartfelt condolences and prayers to all those caught up in the Manchester bombing yesterday.

    I come from near Manchester, and often visited the area affected by this terrorist attack. My thoughts too are with all those affected, and with the emergency services still trying to make things better.

    Peace to the fallen and the familes, swift recovery to the injured, and swift and merciless justice to the perps whether in the Here and Now or the Hereafter.

    Not to meddle in another country's politics or tell anyone how to run their turf, but... you guys really need to bring back Drawing & Quartering over there for cases like this. :(

    When I say "perps," I mean more than just the triggerman/pyro-mule... Perhaps it's time to reopen the Tower Green for business.

    Guys like this are what my cop buddy and I designed the Gremlin for... there's about a two-second window while they do their ritual consecration of the coming attack to preempt, and the goal is to craft something that a skilled responder could have it deployed and lead in brainstem before the Daeshbag can finish saying Aloha Snackbar.

    I now have to make another entry, to send sympathy on behalf of the Anchorage to the families and victims of the latest outrage in London.
    May they show the same resilience that the people of Manchester did when terrorism struck there.
    My thoughts and prayers continue to be with you all.

    Yes, my sympathy to all those affected, and thanks to the excellent emergency services. I hope this is the last such attack we suffer, though sadly, I doubt it.
