Sometimes I get a little dizzy watching everything circle the drain.

Scenario: shooter enters school, shoots.

Teachers get their guns start shooting, miss, shooter takes cover. 

More shooting.

Question:  who will the cops shoot when they eventually arrive?

More shooting.

Question:  who will the cops shoot when they eventually arrive?

More probable scenario: Teacher shoots schoolchild, says "I felt threatened".

Why not just make kevlar vests part of the school uniform?

From the BBC, right now:

BREAKING NEWS:Zimbabwe's election was "free and fair" unless proved otherwise, says African Union observer mission head Olusegun Obasanjo

Ahahaha

Straight face and everything.

Oh it's one of these days of hilarious news:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-23544129

Italy's former PM Silvio Berlusconi has broadcast an angry video message after his prison sentence for tax fraud was upheld by the country's highest court.

Berlusconi said he was the innocent victim of "an incredible series of accusations and trials that had nothing to do with reality".

The court also ordered a further judicial review on whether he should be banned from holding public office.

Berlusconi, 76, is unlikely to go to jail because of his age.

He is expected to serve house arrest or carry out community service.

"No-one can understand the veritable violence which has been reserved for me through a series of charges and trials that had no basis in reality," he said.

He described the more that 50 court cases he has faced as "genuine judicial harassment that is unmatched in the civilised world".

Not that there's been any other big verdicts recently or anything.

Although its name sounds like a way to pay in multiple instalments for a fish dinner, the Prawer Plan is truly some insane, devious shit. The government of Israel, being no stranger to the insane and the devious, has somehow decided that, in 2013, it's OK for a supposedly civilised country to displace 40,000 - 70,000 people based solely on their ethnicity.

The Prawer Plan, the full text of which can be found in English here, is a long-term "development" plan for the Naqab (Negev) desert, the thrust of which is that nearly all the Bedouin living there will be dragged from their rural homes and forcibly placed in cities built by the Israeli government. If that sounds familiar, it's because the South African government did exactly the same thing during the apartheid years. Israel, of course, likes to cry foul whenever the apartheid comparison is invoked, but in this case, they're really inviting it – they're literally relocating people into Bantustans.

Fucking hell.

And the US continues to support Israel, the fucking evil ass motherfucking genocide state  they helped create.

Alright, I've seen about a dozen really FUCKED UP Israel stories today, and now this:

http://www.vice.com/en_uk/read/israel-is-giving-weapons-to-countries-that-will-accept-african-refugees

Asylum seekers from the northeast of Africa aren't finding much solace in Israel. After leaving their respective countries in search of a life in which they aren't enslaved or denied fundamental human rights by their own governments, Eritreans, Sudanese and Ethiopians are being rounded up by Israeli police and dumped into crowded detention camps in the desert.

But in case this news has you wondering why Israeli authorities aren't being dragged before an international human rights court (especially in light of other recent revelations), don't worry, they're now planning to sweeten the deal by sending these people, against their will, to any of the several African countries willing to take them. All the countries in question need to do is also take some Israeli weapons and military training that they can use, presumably, to help them kill more Africans.

The law accommodating Israel's latest foray into doing horribly shitty things and getting away with it is one passed by Attorney General Yehuda Weinstein. It gives police the power to detain migrants suspected of not just serious offences, but even for the most trivial of crimes, like stealing a bicycle or a mobile phone.

The. Fuck.
