It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Five sentenced to death for hacking up Kashoggi at the Saudi consulate on Bin Salman's orders.  Thanks Bin Salman!

How in the world did they find five guys willing to take the fall?  Did they tell the actual guys who did the hit to take one for the team?  Did they round up five random dudes sitting in prison?

This has got to be one of the weirdest PR stunts ever.
Willing probably didn't come into the equation.

So they probably picked five random dudes sitting in prison?  I wish I had thought of that.

They're being executed aren't they? That's why I'm questioning the "willingness" of these guys to take the fall. Whether they're random or the five guys who cut Kashoggi up, I don't see why they would be willing to be executed to cover for the prince who ordered the hit. Coerced by threats against their family maybe, but that ain't willing.

You're right Timmy.  My post was ambiguous.

I meant to say there were two alternatives, willing accomplices or unwilling prisoners.



Eddie Teach

Is there video of the attackers and can they be identified from it? No reason to pick the real guys if not.
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

I've seen footage of Kashoggi walking from a Turkish camera outside the door.  Don't know if they have all entrances covered.

Tamas

It would be bad for business to execute the actual guys who killed him on the very order of the same people now ordering the execution. I am fairly certain these are 5 petty criminals or 5 innocents the regime wants dead.

I like that they've correctly labelled the right part brexitland rather than blaming the north as per usual

Somehow it's still legal to purchase and use fireworks in December. Guess who has a lot of fun with that?

Video shows how the northern Copenhagen is basically a war zone at night:

Looking at the share of the vote it was down in the rural parts of the south that the leave vote was strongest.
Boston is the infamous brexity heartland.
And oddly one of the few places where people actually have experience with foreigners and still manage to be ignorant shits.

Lincoln's a very swing seat generally.

Anyone have any idea what's going on with Kevin Spacey's creepy, apparently annual, Christmas messages? :mellow: :ph34r:
