if they hadn't murdered 50% of them the only pictures we'd be getting from sochi would be fuzzy black and white imaging from drones circling the dog-horde exclusion zone

I honestly imagine that we'd see a lot more people being taken down by dogs. Even man with shovel wouldn't be able to keep the hordes back.

All of the shots on NBC of the main stadium have been extremely close, with either edge of the building just barely cropped off the screen. I can't help but think it's to keep people from seeing any untoward tarps or strays.

a tarp isn't necessarily plastic, it's often only coated, its also not stretched. it also doesn't look like that or behave like that.

if you didn't scoff involuntarily at him calling that a tarp, then I dunno man. i advise you to brush up on your tarp knowledge

edit: al aqsa and doesn't know what a tarp is. seems like an ivory tower leftist without any real knowledge of, or sympathy with, the working man
