General

This doesn’t sound very good: More from CNN: If people take the terror alert seriously, Brussels will be “shut down tomorrow,” CNN terrorism analyst Paul Cruickshank said. “It suggests they have something specific and credible at the intelligence front pointing them in the direction that there may be a terrorist plot in the works,” he said. “It also suggests they don’t have a handle on it, that they don’t know where these plotters are or where they’re coming from.” Here’s why. “Belgium has thehighest proportion of Syrian […]

General

Morrissey's statement on Manchester is…surprising https://t.co/xtRS9FZa4L — Stephen Miller (@redsteeze) May 23, 2017 Kinda surprised to see this from Morrissey. I pegged him as more of a kumbaya, "let's all be friends" type. https://t.co/WmQ5HSIYRs — neontaster (@neontaster) May 23, 2017 Smiths’ singer Morrissey is no stranger to ruffling feathers, but his response to last night’s horrific, deadly terrorist attack at a Manchester concert is raising quite a few eyebrows just not in the way people might have expected: Morrissey issues a statement on the Manchester bombing.

SERIOUSLY!? NBC intel reporter slammed for this take on #LondonAttack coverage

General

There are over 20 casualties following a terrorist attack in London, and the story is all over the news and social media.

Here you go: I know it's a big story, but every time we freak out about a small-bore terror attack we play into their hands. — Ken Dilanian (@KenDilanianNBC) March 22, 2017 What? "small-bore" https://t.co/lbZznRZJQi — Jim Treacher (@jtLOL) March 22, 2017 […]
