Virginia shooting: videos posted showing attack on TV journalists - live updates | US news | The Guardian
Believed to be a disgruntled employee.
Quote:
Virginia governor Terry McAuliffe has called for a tightening of gun laws.
“There are too many guns in the hands of people that shouldn’t have guns,” the Democratic governor told WTOP. “There is too much gun violence in America.”
|
Right. Because shootings in churches and schools provoked so much tightening of gun laws.

Re: News Miscellany
I love me some Laurie Penny.
I am torn about Bernie Sanders. As a socialist I am delighted at the thought he could get the nomination and I'm encouraged by what happened with Corbyn. As a feminist, I just shake my head and sigh at the thought that our best chance for a woman president might lose to an old, White man.

Agreed, but don't forget I think a few people who voted for Obama to be our "first black president" aren't fully happy with him running a slave state. Bernie Sander's is looking better and better, because I think we all know Hillary means corporations will stay people.

European Migration Influx (my title)
Quote:
Hungary and Croatia traded threats on Saturday as thousands of exhausted migrants poured over their borders, deepening the disarray in Europe over how to handle the tide of humanity.
More than 20,000 migrants, many of them refugees from the Syrian war, have trekked into Croatia since Tuesday, when Hungary used a metal fence, tear gas and water cannon on its southern border with Serbia to bar their route into the European Union.

If you try to work out the root causes of this, it becomes maddeningly complex. Political, economic, and religious factors are difficult to disentangle from environmental and natural resource issues, or so it seems to me. You could easily make a long list of possible contributing factors. I think it would be much harder to assign a weight of importance to each of the listed factors.

Well, the laws prohibit them from interfering with his choices. I don't think they are too troubled about that.

Surely gender doesn't outweigh all other considerations. That's kind of the point.

Honestly, I get the distinct impression that Sanders is more of a feminist than is Hillary.
