Governor McAuliffe has declared a state of emergency- state-wide, not just Charlottesville. A car rammed into a group of counter protesters. The day is going to get worse. I really fear that many people will be either dead or suffer devastating injuries before it’s all over. I thought we were done with this crap ( Read more... )

In Nice, this time, on Bastille Day, no less. Van plowed into a crowd, dozens dead. UGH. :(

ETA: At least 70 dead. God.

Mom and I were worried that Cecile and her boys were there, because we know they've been in South France this week. Cecile sent a message that she's fine, they aren't in Nice. But they were fairly close, on the coast.

Abosolutely sick about what's happening in Dallas tonight. After a peaceful protest, snipers started shooting at the cops who were assisting the protesters. Eleven injured, four, possibly five dead. This isn't helping anything.

The protest was over and people were leaving. Now they're stuck downtown because the snipers haven't been caught.

Jo Cox, a Labour MP, was assassinated today. Her attacker apparently yelled "Britain First!". These "Brexit" (UK out of Eurpoean Union) idiots are going to destroy Great Britain ( Read more... )

Sam was the only producer/newswriter at his station last night, and had to scramble to re-write for the newscasters. I don't envy the jobs of those working in the news, especially television. He had to be on top of the news "wires" and be ready for NBC to break in with special reports, etc. It's going to be like this for him for a long time ( Read more... )

A mass shooting at a gay nightclub in Orlando. No fatalities as of yet, but it looks like it won't end well. God dammit ( Read more... )

There was another fucking terrorist attack yesterday, this time in Brussels. At least 31 dead and 200+ injured. This is never going to end.

And of course, asshole candidates Ted Cruz and Donald Trump want to use the tragedy to promote their hatred of Muslims. Fortunately, they're being called out on it, by other Republicans, no less.

This time at a community college in Oregon. 13 dead (so far), 20 injured. Will it never end? Of course not- nothing changed after 20 kids were murdered at Sandy Hook. Why should it change after a college campus shooting ( Read more... )

A WDBJ (Roanoke, Virginia) television reporter and her cameraman were shot to death LIVE on the air this morning. Jesus fucking Christ. And the sick fuck who did it (a disgruntled former station employee) also filmed the shooting himself and posted it on Twitter and Facebook ( Read more... )

Sorry, Wonder Woman. It just isn't so.
