There is unusually bad reporting on this.

Bad as in coverage? The BBC reported that police had requested no images/broadcast of ongoing operations, so that might be why.

Lots of conflicting info over here. Something about kids in a McDonald's, then another that said it was neonazi related.

It's the anniversary of the Norway attacks. Haven't seen that mentioned many places.

Seems like lately it starts out as multiple shooters, then ends up being one guy.

The beebs mentions it, and even ignores the killers first name. Quality social engineering there:

Germany has had a busy week. At least their refugees seem a lot less competent at killing people.

Excerpts from a nice piece by Charles Pierce

What would be the consequences of a financial freezeout of Saudi Arabia? Kind of wish he delved into that.

With the oil price being what it is now, is Saudi turing into a lesser player? The UAE and other smaller Arab countries seem to be the locale of choice for Hamas and the Taliban.

The footage of that Syrian kid is really difficult to watch. He rubs his head, sees blood on his hand, and doesn't know where to wipe it off. Man.

While that story and video is sad, this is just the next "it" thing for the media to focus on. Where is all the outcry for the same thing that happens 10,000 times over in countries dealing with genocidal tendencies of dictators? No oil = no give a shit.

Yeah, I'm not talking about it politically, though. The way media is treating it is obviously dumb.

Also, I thought you hated kids?

That image is horrible, but it begs the question.. What are we willing to do to prevent this in the future?

Fuck man that image is overwhelming.

The video is much moreso.

So the Israelis took their new bomber, the F35, for a spin over Gaza the other night.

Looks like they're going again tonight.

America why don't you stop giving weapons to Israel?
