Moscow concert hall shooting, 22 Mar 24

Let's hope they make them pay the fines.

That may have been what the beatings were about

Contempt for the cameras will garner them crucial gammon support in their trials to come.

It's currently being pointed out by multiple sources that the poor fuckers that Russia is currently parading as "the attackers", look absolutely nothing like the images of the gunmen in the many videos that are circulating.

I have noticed this too without it been pointed to me by other sources. This was an elite unit or similar. Not those poor schmucks.

One small thing i find slightly bizarre is that these guys were wearing 'camouflage'. Ie, army uniforms. In a posh concert hall. I think they're slightly missing the point of 'camouflage'.

I think chinos and a nice shirt would probably blend in better.

Presumably then they are more likely to shoot each other by mistake

Any tips form The Mail's fashion section?

'fraid so but lets not facts get in the way of the inside job brigade

tbf the last theatre terror event was not a inside job but the Russia managed to kill more hostages than the terrorist

just points out how sloppy they have become

 

[The39thStep]

140 known deaths confirmed now (surpassing the Bataclan terrorist attack by ISIS) and 96 missing

Tbh an 87% or so survival rate from that was astonishing. We're lucky in britain and Ireland that nothing similarly been attempted in either country. Don't think I'd trust the Met not to fuck it up

You may well be correct, but where have you seen images clear enough to identify any characteristics of the gunmen?

A sadly all too predictable response to the atrocity

Moscow attack: Central Asian migrants hit by backlash in Russia

Migrants in Russia reported an uptick in xenophobia after Moscow said Tajiks were behind last week's attacks.

www.bbc.co.uk

Tldr; migrants in Russia attacked, beaten, detained

They need migrants at the moment to backfill jobs where the original workers are now fertilising sunflowers in Ukraine, so I don’t expect the attacks to be government sanctioned. Anyway, wasn’t it Ukraine that did it according to the official narrative, not central Asians?

That's what happens when you build a society on disinformation and lies.

The article claims that the attacks on migrants are mostly carried out by Russian law Enforcement...

Predictable Galloway conspiracy theory nonsense.

George Galloway MP accuses UK of involvement in Moscow terror attack

MPs criticised Galloway’s intervention as irresponsible, reckless and playing into the Kremlin’s hands

They were Nazi paramilitaries, who had formerly been associated with Wagner. I assume they were handed over to them for the acts of performative torture.

That is not quite the same as bring state sanctioned though. Cops are people to (well something approximating people) not all cops will be following the script, particularly not local ones.

What a depressingly predictable outcome.

I once went out with a woman whose whole family were obsessed with him. Very often when I was invited round for a bite to eat they'd put a Steven Seagal video on afterwards just to make a night of it. I've always been haunted by that ecological one where he picks up the guitar and sings .

Is he in anything other than Under Siege which is actually any good? I don't think I've seen him in anything else. BTW I love Under Siege.

The all have the same plot. Retired CIA agent Seagal comes out-of retirement to find /rescue his daughter/adoptive child/cute orphans who've been kidnapped by Bad People who hate the environment. (I've somehow seen more Seagal films than i care to think of and they're all the same film.)

Can you get one of those cards like they did for Thatcher declining the visit?

The same bad luck with family members being kidnapped befell Liam Neeson for a few years although he was fortunate that the kidnappers didn't reveal any views on the environment as I recall.

Was that the ship's cook one? Don't think i've seen any others.

Yep. Great action movie.

I just skimmed over his filmography.

He was in a film actually called Pistol Whipped!!

Nothing stood out as looking like it might be good.
