Oh boy, this is good. GG Cornwall.
No surprise considering Cornwall actually was one of the strongest Brexit backers.
There's a petition now with 2 million votes, as of 30 minutes ago, which is asking the Government to look into a 2nd referendum. Since typing and signing (10 or so minutes), it just gained another 15000 votes

I watched a news report this morning that stated that more attacks are expected as Ramadan comes to a close.

I think we've reached a point where this kind of attack has become relatively normal. 7/7, the Madrid bombings, even the more recent first Paris terrorist attack,... people were horrified for a long time. Now it seems that kind of attack is no longer aberrant -- we kind of just think "where next ?"

It's not being talked about very much on the news since it's a poor area, but the amount of flooding West Virginia has gotten is outrageous. I've been working on moving down there and it's been put on hold becuase of it. I've seen McDonald's and Dairy Queens completely underwater though. The only reason the death toll is only in the 20s and not the hundreds is becuase it hasn't hit a large city hard. Still raining heavily today, more flood and flash flood warnings are out.

I hope none of y'all are in Dallas right now. Some wastes of space were shooting cops during a BLA protest. I'm not going to post statistics or anything because it literally just ended and I don't think anyone really knows the details yet. Stay safe.

It appears I was wrong. Its still going on at the moment.

RE: World News - Psychospacecow - 07-08-2016
There's actually a good reason for that. It is evidence. That's why terrorist and hacking groups keep their twitter accounts. Everything they post on it is evidence. Simple as that.

And people say that GamerGate is a hate group....
RE: World News - Psychospacecow - 07-08-2016
Eh, that term gets thrown around a lot nowadays. From my perspective, an open mind and accepting attitude can get you into most circles. Its all a matter of how much vestment you put into something.

The Dallas shooting ended up in 12 injured cops and 5 dead officers. However, it's not the only incident and 1 woman was killed, and two other people were injured in Tennessee: http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/ct-tennessee-highway-shooting-20160708-story.html It's sickening how generalization and anger have lead to so many people being killed. These two incidents saw people going after cops who had nothing to do with what happened in the previous shootings that inspired them, and what's more, the cops in Dallas were protecting protesters, not urging them to stop or using violence to force them to.

Ah hell, we're going through some depressing times at the moment.
RE: World News - SERIOUSLY THOUGH - 07-08-2016
It's like an ever-escalating blood feud. Eesh.
