    And they let their three year old child watch... Poor kid.


    BTW

    The reason it works for magicians is they use a metal plate within the book.

    A lot of cops in The States get shot as well......we all like to think we would have handled it differently......but until you are put in that position with precious little time to analyse what's about to happen then self preservation simply kicked in.
    Not too sure about the racialism thing either in this instance.....my take is that had the victim been white then exactly the same scenario would have occurred.
    IMHO, on this occasion, "there but for the grace of God go I" applies to both the victim and the cop.

    In this particular instance I'm not sure the race of the victim was relevant !

    'Ruiz's aunt said they did it to increase their social media following.
    Claudia Ruiz told WDAY-TV that her nephew had told her he wanted to do the stunt "because we want more viewers, we want to get famous".'

    Mission accomplished.

    They've already pro-created so not sure Darwin's theory is applicable ?

    Horrible reports of multiple casualties from a hospital in the Bronx.

    Gunman is now reported dead. Hoping as many people have survived this as possible.

    1 doctor dead and multiple people "fighting for their lives".

    Gunman turned gun on themselves. Was a former employee. Incident not terror related.

    I must say it came as quite a surprise to me that the State of Arkansas actually had a nightclub.

    This. Can you imagine the mayhem that would have unfolded on Westminster bridge, London Bridge/Borough and Manchester if on top of everything else the attackers had the kind of weapons that would have been a myth of the future at the time the American Constitution was written.

    The American Constitution submits the people of America to a timelock on a lot of issues. Much like the religious texts that the West is fighting against.

    There is a difference between a musket you have to reload every shot and a semi automatic weapon that can cause multiple fatalities and injuries in seconds...

    That's extremism and indoctrination if I have ever seen it.

    This is disgusting.

    Pretty creepy stuff. But something that never fails to amuse me is just how much racist, sexist, xenophobic, and homophobic people HATE, absolutely loathe, being called racist, sexist, xenophobic, and homophobic.

    I followed her on twitter a while ago - just to see if she was for real.

    She seemingly is

    It's scary people like that roam the planet

    A generation or two ago that was general consensus. In the words of Blackadder "Baldrick, the Renaissance was just something that happened to other people"

    It's got to the point when it's more newsworthy when there 'isn't' a day without a shooting in The States......as in, let's all celebrate......there's not been a mass murder today!

    Need more guns in the US to make people safer. If we'd all been armed in the UK none of the terrorist attacks would have happened.

    I think the time has come for toddlers to be armed.
