Anti-Government Webmaster Shot Dead By Russian Police
J.Tatar and a number of other readers alert us to the shooting death of an anti-government webmaster while in police custody in Ingushetiya, a volatile province in southern Russia. Police took Ingushetiya.ru owner Magomed Yevloyev off a plane that had just landed in Ingushetiya. "Yevloyev ... was a prominent opponent of the pro-Kremlin president of Ingushetia, Murat Zyazikov [a close ally of Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin]. Prosecutors have opened a preliminary manslaughter investigation after Yevloyev was shot in a police car in Narzan, the capital of volatile Ingushetia, a mostly Muslim region that borders Chechnya, Russian media reported. A spokesman for the prosecutor's office, Vladimir Markin, said 'an incident' took place after Yevloyev was taken into a police car 'resulting in a shooting injury to the head and he later died in hospital,' Interfax reported."
I know what you mean.
If Obama gets elected, getting shot by the police will almost be the least of our problems.
Muslim community leaders warn of backlash from tomorrow morning's terrorist attack.
I for one see no reason to condemn the US.
Had the the 2000 presidential election turned out differently and had Gore invaded Iraq instead of Bush, the lefties and Dhimmicrats (but I repeat myself) would be falling all over each other to declare him a liberator and a bringer of peace, etc, etc.
But because it was a Republican who did it, the lefties will chant till the end of time that it was a crime, based upon lies, an example of American imperialism, blood for oil, etc, etc, etc. They sound just like the sheep in Animal Farm, and are equally dimwitted.

Just for the record - please show sources of "Ossetians shelling Georgian towns". It's a blatant lie.
Ossetians were forced to answer sniper fire from Georgians after August 4th. And the textbook way (I know, I'm a lieutenant of reserve) of suppressing snipers is to use heavy artillery.
A reserve lieutenant in what? The Waffen SS? The good ol' soviet Krasnaya Armiya? What insane textbook did you learn that shit from? Artillery as a response to sniper fire is an all-out war tactic. Dropping 105mm shells on civilian houses to suppress snipers sounds like the kind of crap old-school soviet monsters would order, right up the same alley with rolling tanks over Czechs who thought it might be nice to publish their own newspapers.
I'm a former staff sergeant with actual combat experience. The proper response to sniper fire is counter-sniper fire from your own snipers. I swear, you fucking lieutenants with your textbook knowledge and no practical field experience. You read something out of a goddamn book and you think you're hot shit, god's gift to "educated" warfare.
If a job's not worth doing, it's not worth doing right.
