Discussion for article #247698
I sit in my comfortable safe living room in Oregon USA seeing yet another murderous attack on innocent human beings on the other side of the Atlantic and try to make sense of this world I live in.
Even more troubling for me are the words from two candidates for America’s highest office today. That these two xenophobic assholes are able to put forth their hate and fear and have it put on display by our media for the rest of the world to hear and read is frankly disgusting.
America is better than this and we deserve better from those who say they wish to lead us.
Lead us where? And why on earth should we want to follow either of you deeply flawed purveyors of fear and hate?
The planet is becoming a much smaller place. We already have more fear and hate than we can handle. And Americans are much stronger and better people than you’re capable of leading.
So how about you just STFU and let people do what can be done in light of today’s events.
If you can’t help then don’t hurt. Just shut up.

What a bunch of shitty mundane pictures. I am all for showing what bombs actually do to bodies.
The way these things get covered you’d think mass attacks look like a bunch of people standing around holding their heads with pained expressions. I understand of course the presumptive courtesy to surviving families of not showing their dead. But the whitewash is sickening. If I die in a terrorist attack or some other act of extreme violence, please, SHOW IT ON TV in all its gruesomeness.
