Doomsday Thread Redux

Very sad for the Russian people and very surprised that ISIS was able to strike in the heart of Russia.

This is crazy. Noone should have to worry about getting shot going to a concert by terrorists.

Russia arrests 11 Moscow massacre suspects as they reveal names

Some 121 victims - including children - were in hospital, as Muscovites queued to donate blood. In all 183 were wounded, including eight children.

In case you were wondering what the band sounded like. Soviet Era rock band started in the early 80s with a large cohort of rotating members and two mainstays. not a no-name band but likely attracting and older audience.


 
Man it’s been a minute since I last heard anything about ISIS
 
Read through the comments of a graphic YouTube video on radio free Europe. There was a lot of talk of a false flag operation. It makes a little sense no matter how you try to comprehend what happened.

I heard that too. Then they magically "caught" the shooters "on their way back to Ukraine". Because of course ISIS is using Ukraine as a base to attack the lone European country that consistently supports the Arab nations?

And since when did Russia care about catching anyone alive? Usually their M.O. in a domestic terrorism incident is "kill everyone until there's no longer a situation".

Islamic State Group Affiliate Linked to Moscow Attack Has Global Ambitions

WASHINGTON — Five years ago this month, a U.S.-backed Kurdish and Arab militia ousted Islamic State group fighters from a village in eastern Syria, the group’s last sliver of territory. Since then, the organization that once staked out a self-proclaimed caliphate across Iraq and Syria has...

These folks are active in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Iran. They are picking fights with everyone including bombing the funeral of the Iranian general we attacked in Iraq.

Even the Taliban are attacking them to prevent them from holding territory.

It’s Al-Qaeda two point oh.

it’s my understanding that US intelligence warned the Russians that attack was eminent, but they ignored the intel warning.
 
I always expected to go out likedude in falling down, when I was younger. :)
 
I've been out on vacation for the last two weeks and haven't followed news super closely.
- It seems that after Israel bombed the hell out of Iran's air defenses (showing that if they can hit these defenses, they can hit anything in Iran), we'll see if Iran backs down OR decides to continue ratcheting tensions up.
- In between naps, Trump gets to hear Trump memes read to him as the defense/prosecution lawyers are trying to fish for biases.
- Finally, some dude set himself on fire to draw attention to his own conspiracy theories. This is truly a crazy timeline we are living in.

Man dies after setting himself on fire near Trump trial courthouse in NYC

A person self-immolated at a park across from the courthouse where former President Donald Trump's New York criminal trial is taking place. The NYPD confirmed to CBS News that the person later died.
www.cbsnews.com www.cbsnews.com
- Here in the bay area, some nuts shut down the key bridges/highways during rush hour to protest Gaza. They locked their hands into tubes set into barrels which they filled with cement. The police decided to take hours to clear the scene instead of just pushing these selfish folks to the side and dealing with their drama on the shoulder.

Anything else crazy I missed?

OJ Simpson died. Cancer wrote a book called “If I did it: Confessions of the Killer”

An earthquake rocked NJ, NYC and surrounding area. I was in Reading, PA at the time and felt it.

So someone took a shot at Trump today. I wonder if this will change the GOPs position on gun control. So maybe violent rhetoric during political campaigns isn't a great idea?

TMZ has video of him shooting, and the return fire. Guy that shot the sniper had a Barett mounted on a hard mount. He didn't miss.
130 yards with an ar is hard. with a nato round, it's easy. With a barett, it's hard to miss, if you can shoot one. I've been kicked by horses that were gentler than the barett .50 cal, lol. I want a hard mount like that on Lazarus, with a ma deuce on it. :)

There's no commentary needed. A radicalized nut job tried to kill a nominee.

What is needed is for everyone — from all sides — to take a deep breath, stop with the constant "tRuMp iS hItLeR!" nonsense, and understand that the only way forward is to return to the political civility that we had 30-40 years ago.

Would’ve been helpful to that end if the guy was a better shot…


Either political party latching onto the president as though they’re the messiah is the problem, neither Trump nor Obama did jack shit as presidents but listen to either cult and you’d think they’re the most consequential leaders of all time. People obsessed with politics need to find a hobby.
