I don't speak emoji...what does her tweet say? The best I can gather is she is blaming the disinvite on being transgender?

Not sure if she's blaming it on that, but she's another one who thinks she has LGBT privilege and is entitled to special treatment.

Why is it so popular? Looks like another multiplayer shooter.

Because despite how shitty the engine is, it's still better than preceding battle royale shooters like in Arma or whatever that zombie one was called. Those ones were unplayable, whereas this one is playable by some loose definitions of the word "play," generally that don't involve enjoying yourself.

I swear, one of these days, someone's going to release a Battle Royale on a not-horrendous engine, and with those big-tit anime LoL characters, and they're going to be billionaires.

Just go back to Quake 3 Arena. Not sure why people ever left.

Anyway, this is really my genre, but I am kind of curious about PUBG after hearing about it constantly.

Back to the actual terrorist attack, ISIS supporters are giddy on social media about this.

https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/854656/london-terror-attack-parsons-green-bomb-isis-islamic-state

While no group has claimed responsibility for the Parsons Green terror attack, some supporters of ISIS’s killer cult have already cheered the atrocity online.

One said: “Allau Akbar!! Our lions are striking terror into the hearts of the kufr.”

Another ISIS supporter claimed the attack in south-west London this morning was a success, despite the lack of fatalities, as it displayed holes in British security.

Security group SITE Intel revealed: “As ISIS supporters celebrate news on ‘London explosion’, one remarked that the incident demonstrates ‘weakness’ in UK security.”

And others claimed the bucket bomb was a “trial run”, claiming another, even bigger attack was set to “rock London”.

ISIS supporters regularly take to social media to celebrate jihadi attacks, most recently when 16 people were killed in Barcelona.

One man said on the encrypted messaging service Telegram: “A van just ran over people in Barcelona!!! Allu Akbar!!!! They can die in their rage.”

The death fanatics even take to social media to celebrate non-terror related events, such as last week’s devastating Hurricane Irma.

One posted: “May Allah drown the enemies of Islam and force them to their knees to be subdued.”

Another posted a satellite image of the storm and said he prayed “that Allah destroy them, and shake them, and restrain their might to heal the hearts of the Muslims bombed in Mosul, Raqqa, and elsewhere!”

The U.K. prime minister criticized Trump for calling this a terrorist attack because he didn't wait the obligatory period before stating something well all immediately knew.

He waited with Charlottesville. I don't know if he ever even used the T word.

Because it wasn't. An idiot running over people in a rage after his group starts getting attacked isn't even in the same realm as a premeditated bombing that was intended to kill innocent civilians.

because he's white, right?

LOL, I seriously feel sorry for the teachers who taught you to read if that's your takeaway from the post.

White supremacist runs over peaceful counterprotesters at a violent Nazi rally sounds like terrorism. I'm sorry you think terrorism is only brown people planting bombs. And Antifa, I'm sure. But let's spin our fucking heads off any time a white right-winger commits deadly political violence.

The police have videos of the suspect and are engaged in an active manhunt. With that being the case, I'm surprised they haven't released a description so people can report any sightings.

With courthouse barricades up, police presence expanded and National Guard troops on standby, St. Louis is braced for Friday’s anticipated verdict in the murder trial of a white police officer accused of executing a black motorist.

Maybe you should read every word first.

Maybe you want to look up what those words mean yourself. Execution is not the same as killing or murder, and this officer is not being charged with "execution" in any capacity.

Yes, and I see that as a negative, because the people who are most anti-religious live in countries where the majority religion is not a problem. And they're also not targeting the anger towards specific minority religions that are causing problems.

People can dislike the actions of Israel, without disliking Jews.

Disliking the actions of Israel and believing the Israeli state shouldn't exist are not the same thing.

BCS better win a whole lot.

I can't see it winning anything, sadly.

As an aside, HBO has the most votes of any network. They went hard behind Westworld for these nominees (as the expense of The Leftovers, which definitely deserved a few nominations). They're a large reason GOT won the last two years when it really shouldn't have, so they could conceivably stack a few of these in favor on their show. Especially best drama.

I don't think they'll be able to get a winner in Best Lead Drama Actor. I think Brown runs away with that award. Hopkins wasn't even really a lead in that show.

No, this is a question of someone getting arrested (government action) for what they said. There, free speech matters.

Just for a refresher, this is the post you responded to initially:

Counundrum posted...

Both are in the wrong but A clearly used provocative language to incite a reaction from B. Freedom of Speech doesn't cover language that could be used to incite violence so they can't use that has a defence.

You don't quite understand the way the law works. Freedom of speech still applies in this case. Language does not "incite violence" just because it hurts your feelings or makes you mad. It needs to be a specific and actionable threat for violence to ever be justified.

• Scenario 1: Person A says a racial slur to person B, person B attacks person A --> The government arrests person B
• Scenario 2: Person A makes a credible verbal threat of murder against person B, person B attacks person A --> person B is not arrested

Why the different government actions in two cases where person A just used words? Because the courts decided that one is protected speech under the first amendment and the other is not. So yes, the fact that the government will not arrest person B in one of these cases absolutely relates to the first amendment and freedom of speech. The line at which protected speech ends and threats begin is covered by first amendment court law.
