Daggers Posted 15 April 2013 Posted 15 April 2013 2 killed 22 injured. How many innocent Syrians were killed or maimed today?. Western society deaths through terrorism seem to be worth 10000 of people from other cultures. Get yourselves off the tele and and have a good bit of alone time to think it through Don't be such a purile dick. It is possible to be concerned about more than one issue at any given time. Actualy, no, carry on because you are making me look less of a cvnt with every post in this thread.
Deucalion Posted 15 April 2013 Posted 15 April 2013 Fox saying the JFK Library fire was just that...a fire. No bomb.
Fox92 Posted 15 April 2013 Posted 15 April 2013 Titanic sinking. Hillsborough tragedy. Lincoln assassinated. Today... Blitz in Belfast as well.
StanSP Posted 15 April 2013 Posted 15 April 2013 Fox saying the JFK Library fire was just that...a fire. No bomb. Heard that it was unrelated too. Not really sure what to believe about that specific incident!
Voll Blau Posted 15 April 2013 Posted 15 April 2013 Heard that it was unrelated too. Not really sure what to believe about that specific incident! Probably best to just believe everything you see on Facebook, Twitter and Foxestalk to be honest. Someone's bound to be right.
Voll Blau Posted 15 April 2013 Posted 15 April 2013 Only just seen this. My guess is some nut job. Good guess.
Guest Bilo Posted 15 April 2013 Posted 15 April 2013 Probably best to just believe everything you see on Facebook, Twitter and Foxestalk to be honest. Someone's bound to be right. But is a Wookie a bear or not?
jonthefox Posted 15 April 2013 Posted 15 April 2013 Good guess. IE not al queda or however you spell it. The latest is a 'person of interest' is in custody.
Deucalion Posted 15 April 2013 Posted 15 April 2013 They are speculating on Fox News whether a government can shut down phone networks without contacting the phone companies. They absolutely can.
EnderbyFox Posted 15 April 2013 Posted 15 April 2013 @sethmnookin1m Overwhelming sense listening to Boston PD scanner: confusion, limited resources, and lots of stray bags suddenly looking very suspicious.
LJS Posted 15 April 2013 Posted 15 April 2013 That the attacks were simultaneous hints at al-Qaeda but others will have learned from them over the years. Attacking a soft target is also a signature of al Qaeda. Being able to carry off an attack at a relatively normal event within the US would be a great success for them and the panic it would cause would be right up their street. Al Qaeda's capability to carry out large scale attacks is greatly diminished; they haven't pulled anything of since Madrid (London was al Qaeda inspired but wasn't directly linked to the group). For some time the authorities have been worried about 'lone wolf' attacks because this is now thought to be the MO of islamist terrorist groups. Individuals or small cells are more difficult to detect. That these attacks do not appear to be the work of suicide bombers doesn't necessarily rule al Qaeda out. Suicide bombing is a technique al Qaeda copied from the Tamil Tigers of Sri Lanka. They aren't wedded to a particular technique; they are pragmatic and will do what works. They have proven adaptable over the years. Right wing terrorism will also be under strong scrutiny, you'd think. But there doesn't seem to be any particular target group here which you'd expect from politically motivated terrorists. Breivik targeted young leftists whilst the Baader-Meinhof and Italian Red Brigades attacked instruments of the capitalist state. This appears at this stage to be indiscriminate with the purpose of spreading panic rather than delivering a message.

Dan Posted 15 April 2013 Posted 15 April 2013 We live in a seriously fvcked up world. I'm actually sick of the news being full of bad news, all the time. Is it just me who finds it seriously sad that the news is dominated by negativity?

Corky Posted 15 April 2013 Posted 15 April 2013 We live in a seriously fvcked up world. I'm actually sick of the news being full of bad news, all the time. Is it just me who finds it seriously sad that the news is dominated by negativity? The news generally is going to be negative. It sparks a debate, interest in the story. People doing the right thing isn't going to be a real debating point. Look at the benefits stories. People applying for 40 jobs a week aren't going to get in the paper, reporters aren't going to be sent to their door. Someone taking thousands from the state whilst not trying to find work is a talking point, that will be covered. This is a tragic case and should be highlighted in real depth, especially when we have a similar and large event here this week. I find it so sad that the news is negative but it will be that way. RIP to those who've lost their lives and I hope those who are injured make a full and speedy recovery. Can't imagine what those present have gone through
Tielemans63 Posted 15 April 2013 Posted 15 April 2013 We live in a seriously fvcked up world. I'm actually sick of the news being full of bad news, all the time. Is it just me who finds it seriously sad that the news is dominated by negativity? Think it's always been the case to be honest. It's the way the news channels revel in tragedy and fear almost to the point where it looks like they're loving every second of it that I find most distasteful. I guess more often than not they have to fill a 24 hour schedule with 23 hours of puerile shite so when something that is actually newsworthy happens its inevitable that they'll explode into an orgasmic cloud.
