I'm sure the alt-right /r/the_donald supporters are already blaming Obama.

The ambassador is dead. Possible Jihadi.
Kremlin's plans are, how you say, comink together.
Looks like it is related to the destruction of Aleppo.

I'm not so sure about that. I'm pretty sure Putin's plans were that he's have installed Assad safely in power by now and his troops back in their base in Tartus.

Could be any one of a myriad of jihadi terror groups.
Looks like it was Bond, Turgulu Bond.
Amazing pic.
That's one sharp-dressed jihadist. He's gonna slay it with those virgins.
Or maybe that's a bodyguard.
Apparently he was (or posed as) part of the security detail.

The run up to World War 3 continues nicely, I see.
The Beeb's saying it was an off-duty policeman.
Big Reservoir Dogs fan I see.
I'm sorry Martim. :(

And, for good measure, they shot the gun out of his hand.
Never take a corkscrew to a gun fight.
Wait til the .ru nutters get hold of that.
"Eet ees obwious fake...not enough--how you say, oh yes--blood."
*Post next to photo from Reservoir Dogs*
:lol:
I've actually had discussions like that with friends before, people who have never seen a shot up body always think there's an order of magnitude more blood than there really is.
Yeah, it's pretty eye-opening for GSW noobs, it's not like the movies at all. I mean, yeah, there's a lot of bleeding--but most of it is on the inside.
There is more than enough.
That's just a shmear.
Probably militant Amish.
The assassin just shot him half a dozen times or so in the back before going on a snackbar rant.

Wait, now there is two of them? Great, the last thing we need is more Putins.
Pretty sure there are only one of them.

That's exactly what the Russians want you to think.
Who is the secretary of state of Russia? Sounds like he is a major fuckup. Lots of Duma hearings are sure to follow.
Related to the Russians assassinating a bunch of chechens in turkey lately?

A man by the name of
Molot-Lavrov.
Photos are incredible.

No. The gunman was kind enough to announced it was about Aleppo and Syria.

So, should this thread be merged into the Minor Acts of Terrorism Megathread, or the Police Violence Megathread?

Was that a misguided attempt at injecting levity into the situation? :unsure:
