They're going to elect a gun president aren't they.

Who's the NRA president right now? As depressing as it is to say, they'd probably be in with a shot for the White House on that alone...

Oh, I preferred Inanimate Carbon Rod as the next president.

Wonder if all the Republican politicians ever care that their words have such a cause and effect? Do they feel remorseful or responsible for this or are they just so far past it they don't care who dies so long as it furthers their goal. Cause they'll never be the ones to do this because they're huge cowards but they'll gladly let other people take the bullet. Literally.

Sounds like Salman Rushdie was assaulted and stabbed whilst on stage this afternoon in New York.

Dunno much about him. What makes him a target? He wrote a book about islam entitled "the satanic verses" in 1988. He's had a death warrent on his head ever since.

Some twist of tragic irony there.... he was giving a speach in New York about the US being a "safe haven" for writers / artists in exile.

There’s just a bit in the book which depicts Muhammed, which is blasphemous for Muslims. It’s a bit of a slog and Midnight’s Children is by far his best if you’re interested in his work. It’s truly a masterpiece.

Thankfully no fatalities but thought it appropriate to post in this thread about a nutter making an attempted assassination attempt in public against Argentina's vice president. Aims a gun point blank in her face as she's greeting a crowd and pulls the trigger, only to find the gun jams. Pure luck saved her. Dunno if I could ever leave the house again if it happened to me. Footage of the attempt below.

Always makes me “laugh” that someone would get their fucking phone out when literally running for their lives.

I can see that being completely fabricated, aside from the deaths, by Putin so he can disarm civilians. He has a fat target on his head now and he knows he's going to catch a bullet if he doesn't do something.

I completely believe kids were murdered, so I'm not trying to detract from that, but the timing and Putin's response are uncanny.

But does anybody think of all of those sweet sweet insta likes?
Saw a pretty depressing comment on Reddit the other day about someone who stood by and filmed the driver of a crashed car dying as it burned, instead of actually doing anything.

One of my friends told me that she took her husband to the states to visit her family summer just gone and they were both threatened by another couple in a bar in Boston and people just stood around them and filmed it rather than, you know, intervene. It's kinda fucked up.

Although the theory is contested, I personally think the bystander effect is fairly real and would preclude mobile phones existence.
I mean, if there was somebody injured I like to think I'd intervene, assuming it's not a massive risk to my own life.
When it comes intervening in confrontations I'm honestly far less certain. I'm sure there are plenty of genuine peacemakers out there who will intervene, but I also think a lot of people who think they'd step up in those situations would find themselves a bit lost. Especially if the instigator is armed.
For me, I'd certainly be scared of becoming a victim myself. I'm not exactly built for physical altercation. Even if I did intervene, I would likely not be calm enough to successfully diffuse the situation. I'm not very good at talking to people at the best of times.
In those cases, it's arguable that filming is better than doing nothing as that might help collect evidence.
