There was no 'massacre', only one person died.

The gunman.

Try something other than Fox news.

Potential gun massacre, then. From what I'm reading, we really don't know shit yet.

Or would you prefer it to be worse than that?

Obviously he'd prefer it if it mentioned Mac more.

Let~s hope it~s just tear gas casualties and one dead nutter, because as of now, the German cops have said jack shit.

The state' s interior minister has said jack shit though and I think he has responsibility for the states police?

But what does this have to do with the subject of this thread?

This can't be Mac, he was never this dense. Or concise.

Fuck knows what his original point was. He seems almost disappointed that there aren't hundreds dead though.

Speaking of the OP, what are they saying in the news? All we get here is "too close to call", though you may have nothing further.

The Man-On-Street works 9-5, then gets home, has to make dinner relax, and then prepare for the next day. Where is the time to research, synthesise, and consider deeply important political issues? Isn't that why we elect politicians - people who have time to solve these dilemmas, to make those decisions for us? And then we elect the ones we broadly agree with.

It makes you wonder why we need politicians if they have the inability to represent us and do the job the country pays them to do. I was reminded of something that was once on the Friday Night Armistice in the 90s with the hosts lampooning the idea of referendum, saying things like "look at the socks I'm wearing! I'm an idiot! You decide for us!"

I couldn't find that clip, so I found this one instead. Funny how much of it looks like a UKIP party political broadcast now :shock:

I keep on forgetting how short elderly hobbit attention spans are. The original point was, if this is indeed some sort of ISIS-related shooting and not just some random loony-toon, imagine the effect it could have had on the Brexit vote had it occurred twelve hours earlier.

In other words, if it were something completely different to what it was. As if, a whole fucking alternative universe. Or Macniverse, as we call them round here.
For fucks sake, you are beyond parody now.
