Okay, I am game.  Who are the idiot truthers out there for this?

Here's one of the idiots.

EDIT: Forgot to say NSFW due to breakdown of shooting footage.  Might be disturbing to viewers.

Because they're funny as hell and plus they know their shit about what's going on.

I seen both angles as well, and you can see and understand how they didn't pay attention to him or notice him.  They were shooting live and I'm sure there were other people working in the area or at least close by on the same floor or at least the lower level of the complex.  The camera man was focused over the balcony with his back turned before swinging over to the interview, so it's easy to see how he didn't notice the guy.  I'm sure the women saw him through their peripherals but were just focused on getting the shot done,

You can clearly see the reporter's sleeve of her blouse on her right arm where she was first shot move or flinch from the impact of the bullet.  After that, she turns and runs and the camera is dropped in both of the videos.  Some of the conspiracy nuts out there are saying she would've dropped as soon as she was hit with the first bullet, but that's a load of bs.  Many people are able to initially run or even get away after being shot, especially when not hit in a critical spot.  She likely tripped or fell due to the panic and he simply caught up to her and finished her off, at least that's what it sounded like.  The screams turn silent after the last round of bullets is heard.  A while back, a friend of mine was shot 3 times at point blank and was able to make it down two flights of stairs before he collapsed and died, so idiots that say she should've just immediately dropped are being ridiculous or just trolling.

Just be sure to read through the comments section at the bottom.

Latest from Zero Hedge, and don't forget to read the commentary.  Those guys are golden right now.

People were saying it was only a matter of time before we see something of a "recovery" from these losses, but these same people are also saying it's only because the central banks are the buying stocks via their proxies.  Last night, many were saying they wouldn't be surprised to see a recovery today, even as China was taking another big hit.

A good quote from the comments section that sums up today's recovery:

"If central banks purchase stocks in order to support equity prices, what is the point of having a stock market? The central bank’s ability to create money to support stock prices negates the price discovery function of the stock market."

Regarding the DOW futures:

If you really want to get some perspective about what's going on with the markets, I highly urge everyone to read through the comments section below the graph.  These guys are joking, mocking, and just laughing about all of this because they appear to be all guys who either work or once worked in this biz and are well aware of what's really going on.

Sosh:

"The confidence that this team has needs to show up on the field," he said. "And these guys feel good about our team. We just need to start executing better on the field."

Giavotella's "clutch" numbers:

With RISP - .281 BA, 37 RBI........... ranks 3rd among all regulars

Late & Close - .429 BA, 10 RBI............... ranks 1st on the entire team

And he wonders why the team has a difficult time bringing that confidence to the field.

They had a blurb on the news earlier saying the cost to fill up in the "US" is at a 10-year low.

So when did California secede??

The last several years of quantitative easing has created huge asset bubbles.  With the slowing down of the global economy, a major correction is overdue.  The IMF and BIS have been sending quiet warnings for the last year now.

Markets across the world are taking hits today.  With 2008 still fresh in everyone's mind, panic may set in very early come Monday morning.

Down 530 points for today and over 1000 for the week.

Wasn't the week loss total for the 2008 crash about 1800 points?

With many saying the worst yet to come.

Many are predicting September or October as being when shit's really gonna get real for the world markets.

Dow approaching 500 point loss.

It really started with Trout's injury and the subsequent trades.  Record is 6-14 since Trout went down.

Trout has been slumping since the injury, and with the exception of Murphy, these trades have not helped this team one bit.  Victorino and DeJesus have been just painful to watch.

Make Cron the everyday DH and Murphy the everyday LFer, and keep Giavotella at the leadoff spot.  Sosh should also consider swapping Trout and Pujols in the batting order.

Deleting posts without notice or warning??  Must be one of the "jackasses" Blarg is referring to....

This is quite a good summary of the situation. All that's missing is Victoria Nuland handing out cookies.

I thought about mentioning her but didn't want to get too much into it.  There's also her F**K the EU phone call that was recorded a few months BEFORE Euromaidan even started in which her and Geoffrey Pyatt are discussing and planning who they want to take over the Ukrainian government.  There's also the fact that her husband is Robert Kagan who is a PNAC co-founder!!

I'll bet Hillary's IT department knows about it.

All accusations from the US have been unsubstantiated and baseless, yet they, and the western media continue to present them as fact.

The media in this country has lost all credibility in my eyes.

This dashcam video gives you a pretty good idea of what kind of force this explosion had.

The shockwave from the 2nd blast looks like something you'd expect from a friggin' nuke.  I would've turned that car around and never looked back.

Didn't the Ukranians overthrow the president/country in the first place?

Yanukovich was the democratically elected president of Ukraine.  It wasn't until he decided to delay signing a deal with the European Union that all hell broke loose.  The EU demanded he cut off all economic ties with Russia and he knew that would devastate their economy and country.  He said he needed more time to weigh his options and that's when the Soros/NED funded Euromaidan riots started.  These people started wreaking havoc all over Kiev with violence including the use of Molotovs that literally burned several police officers alive.  Then a group of unknown snipers (many have said possibly Blackwater nka Academi mercs) started taking people out on BOTH sides of the riots and that's pretty much when the president was forced to flea for his life into Crimea.  I believe the snipers killed up to a dozen police officers and dozens more of the Euromaidan rioters.

The current "president" is another puppet/oligarch for the US that only cares about money, and the people living in Donbass have refused to recognize him as the legitimate president.  When Poroshenko took power, his first order of business was to strip all ethnic Russians living in Donbass of their rights, including speaking the Russian language.  That's when the people decided to declare their own independence via referendum and created their own Republics in Donbass.  That's when Poroshenko decided to begin attacking and bombing them unprovoked.

Hopefully the Ukrainian forces kicks the Russians off their native soil and sends all of the "rebels" back to Moscow where they came from. They also need to reclaim Crimea, it is clearly Ukrainian soil invaded by the Russians illegally.

Really?  Nevermind the fact Crimea had autonomy and right to self determination in which the people voted well over 90% via referendum to 'rejoin' Russia?  And back to Moscow where they came from?  That's equivalent to telling all blacks to go back to Africa where they came from.

Not really, one side is run by Putin. **** them.

You must have top level security clearance at that Pentagon because the government has yet to provide any evidence supporting such claims.

After reading some of the comments here, all I can say is Kudos to CNN, FOX, and the rest of the tribe for a job very well done.

i'm curious to see how the career arc has gone for ice cube. he started off as such a hard gangster, and now he's doing mainstream hollywood studio movies ("are we there yet?") and talk shows.

You forgot about his love and affection for white folk.

Lyrics from two of his most memorable songs in which he expresses his wonderful sentiments.

"Horny Little Devil"

"Cave Bitch"
