My heart goes out to everyone who has lost someone in this attack.
And while it might seem like an odd thing to say, I sincerely hope that Ariana Grande a) gets the emotional support she needs after this and b) continues to have a successful career.
It is possible that female artists and even female athletes will be targeted by Wahhabi nut jobs as they seek to find new ways to outrage the West. But we can't let that happen. The right to wear what you want and make your own decisions about where you go, who you associate with and what you do (within the laws of civilized society) are essential to our freedoms and must be preserved for all members of society.
ETA: And I also want to say that corporate marketing analysts can know when a 15 year old is pregnant before her own parents do and they can determine when a couple is getting divorced before either of them have even said the words, so why the hell can't we do a better job of predicting who is plotting these types of attacks?
