Crooks in America have It Made!

No kidding! I'm not sure to call the bad guys "criminals" or "terrorists" though..

What's kind of neat is that the authorities seem to be cooperating along various agencies like a well-oiled machine. That's the way to do it

On a somewhat unrelated note, I find the topic of African air forces to be fascinating. Especially among the Central African countries - the military budgets tend to be small so the innovation and improvisation is ingenious at times.

 

That story reads like a government-prepared yellow journalism press release. I would be very inclined to suspect that the shooters did whatever they wanted and it was cleaned up in the press release.

Dig this:

"The eyewitness told THISDAY that the police opened fire on the armed robbers, leading to an exchange of gunfire. And when the "battle" ended, four of the suspects laid lifeless on the ground, with hot blood oozing out of their bodies."

There's a different kind of blood???? I thought "hot" was a requirement.

This is a total spin job.

 

What isn't these days?

 

hadn't thought of it this way (must admit, hadn't really given it much thought at all...)

i TOTALLY buy pilgrim's analysis.

 

ALWAYS consider the source and the agenda.

People complain about journalism in the US, but it's leagues better than anything you will ever read that has been touched by government in a latin american, african or asian third-world country. Most of those media are government-controlled either overtly or covertly.

But I gotta admit that "hot blood" was not only a giveaway, but a phrase that screamed for attention.

 

Are you saying that US media is not?

 

It absolutely is, albeit much more subtle. But yep.

 

I certainly believe that, and Im not saying that Pilgrim disagrees, but his post reads as if he's saying that it is not.

 

They're much like that in Eastern Europe as well, including TV news. What's shown over there on TV would shock many of us over here.

 

Sounds like some epic gunfights, too bad we can't commence air bombardment on local thugs here .

But ya, that's got some heavy lean on it's perspective.

Peace,
