Indeed, once he’s recovered from the two gunshot wounds the second shooter gave him.  Shoulder and  hand apparently so should be ok.

I think Islam is the only religion where people use such euphemisms when talking about violence perpetrated by its followers. 

Perhaps that's because many of the other Abrahamic religious sects who are really interested in domination have (by and large) got enough power to be able to leverage it in less outwardly violent ways in order to attempt to assert ideological control in nations where they have that power?

 

Smart and well established enough to use the law book and media, not the gun and bomb, for their ends. So yeah, no need for euphemisms when there's not as much reported overall overt violence, but I'm not sure that means the overall aim isn't similar.

One of those things I think we’d all say we might do in that situation but that I think few of us would genuinely have the bravery to do when push came to shove.

That bloke that stepped in and got shot was a part of the local Muslim community. I think there’s something pretty symbolic about him stepping in to protect Jewish people from evil. I hope he gets rewarded with whatever he wants on this earth and that God (if it exists) keeps a nice warm space for him in paradise when the time comes.

The vast majority of people are reasonable and pleasant. sadly the sh1t bags shout the loudest …..

a very brave man to do that 

the long video of the bridge shows the other scum telling members of the public to go away - he was only interested in killing attendees of the party.

Speaking of shitbags shouting the loudest, nice of Netanyahu to tie the plight of an entire demographic in with his own ideological and political objectives in the aftermath of this terrible event.

What's rather annoying, and quite scary at the same time, is that AI-generated images/videos look very much like 'real life' no-edit ones (I.e. one may not see if it's AI-generated or not).

And as computer processing power increases, that distinction will become ever more blurry. 

 

It's a new tech arms race, with rather high stakes.

It’s pretty amazing that even now after the weekend of shootings in Australia and USA that Americans still piss their pants when people suggest there’s should be stricter gun laws to stop people being able to get guns

Gun violence happens to other people.  Or it if happens to you it would have all been fine if you just had a bigger gun.

Yeah even in the Australian shooting, they legally had the guns from what I read. So even stricter laws may have prevented access to the guns. The PM I believe is already talking about stricter laws.

 

The Americans are lost. No point even discussing them.

Have you ever spoken to a pro-gun American about the topic? It's like trying to debate with a religious fanatic. There's no point in bringing facts into the discussion as they have no interest in them. And while there are plenty of Americans who want stricter gun laws, there are nowhere near enough of them to make it happen. You'd have more luck persuading Iran to give up Islam than getting the US to ban guns.

Dunno why but this made me chuckle a bit although I feel bad (given the recent tragic events).

 

I do agree though it's  a lost cause.
