London police are calling that van attack a "major incident."

lol....

I'm curious if it's because they're still trying to process everything, or if it's more a function of hoarding their intel/news and not giving it to other reporters/countries.

There could be a throughline between us leaking poo poo all over the place in the previous incident and the Brits not leaking a goddamn thing right now.

i'm mostly coming from the point of view of what it would be called if the race's/religions were reversed.

one person i know said "yeah man that sucks, but the muslims really need to start policing their own because turnabout is fair play."

Two people got killed in Oregon defending a Muslim from a racist and some staffer had to use the @POTUS account to tweet support a few days later.

I wouldn't bet on it.

Edit: apparently the Megyn Kelly interview of Alex Jones actually turned out good. Whether it was due to original intent or heavy editing, the people that were yelling at Kelly earlier are now singing her praises post-interview.

AFAIK, the official line from the Met is always something along the lines of "a major incident has occured" until they feel ready to talk. Mothra could be vaporizing the Houses of Parliament and they would probably release a statement that "officers are responding to a serious disturbance near Westminster Bridge. Citizens are advised to keep doors and windows locked and avoid contact with the pollen drifting from the mighty wings of giant alien insects."

IIRC, Finsbury Park Mosque was pretty radical for a number of years. Richard Reid and Zacarias Moussaoui both attended services there. Place eventually became every right-winger's go-to example of how Muslims would never be able to integrate and would always remain a danger. I think MI5 eventually busted the old board for money laundering or something and the new people have been working on unfucking the place.

Featured prominently in gutter press scaremongering for years, which is why it was attacked.

Abductions and murders like that are pretty common in NoVA. There's plenty of would-be serial killers because it's a suburban hellscape, so it's possible it wasn't​ a hate crime.

They already arrested the guy, and all indications are he specifically targeted Muslims, going so far as to follow a group of them from their Mosque.

Don't store sensitive poo poo on public amazon servers :cripes:


quote:

In what is the largest known data exposure of its kind, UpGuard’s Cyber Risk Team can now confirm that unsecured databases containing the sensitive personal details of over 198 million American voters was left exposed to the internet by a firm working on behalf of the Republican National Committee (RNC) in their efforts to elect Donald Trump. The data, which was stored in a publicly accessible cloud server owned by Republican data firm Deep Root Analytics, included 1.1 terabytes of entirely unsecured personal information compiled by DRA and at least two other Republican contractors, TargetPoint Consulting, Inc.and Data Trust. In total, the personal information of potentially near all of America’s 200 million registered voters was exposed, including names, dates of birth, home addresses, phone numbers, and voter registration details, as well as data described as “modeled” voter ethnicities and religions.

Big news in the Senate: democrats found the locked closet that stored their backbone.

https://twitter.com/mkraju/status/876820670906335234

https://twitter.com/BenjySarlin/status/876823255558086657

What this basically means is that the Senate is about to grind to a halt, even worse than normal. When the Senate doesn't have unanimous consent to even do basic stuff, absolutely nothing gets done. Therefore, the idea goes, healthcare can't get done.

Blockade will likely last until the mysterious Trumpcare bill sees the light of day.

Mitch McConnell (R-Turtle) can try to get around it, but to the best of my knowledge, there might be no way around it. I don't know of this procedural trick being used before.
