Epidemiologist: This is just the tip of the iceberg

It's just like what happened when that Muslim terrorist got out of prison in London and went on a stabbing spree, a terrorist is a terrorist even if he wears a white hood or a hakenkreuz on his arm.

A white supremacist out of prison for 3 months stabbed a man to death in California

(CNN)A white supremacist gang member was sentenced to 56 years to life in prison for stabbing a man to death in California just three months after being released from prison, the Orange County District Attorney's Office said.

Craig Matthew Tanber, 40, of Los Alamitos, was convicted in December of one felony count of second-degree murder in the death of Shayan Mazroei and one count of the personal use of a weapon, the district attorney said in a statement Friday.
"Shayan's parents were robbed of their only son and a lifetime of memories," said Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer.
"The sentence handed down ... will keep (Tanber) behind bars for his entire adult life and prevent a cold-blooded killer from harming other innocent people and destroying more lives."
In September 2015, Tanber's girlfriend exchanged words with Mazroei when the two went outside a Laguna Niguel bar to smoke. Witnesses said the woman hurled racial slurs at Mazroei.
Video showed the woman spitting on Mazroei several times and then chasing him back into the bar, the release said.
A bouncer asked Tanber and his girlfriend to leave the bar. Video footage showed Tanber returning to the bar, where he punched Mazroei and stabbed him twice, first through the heart and then in the shoulder.
Mazroei was taken to the hospital where he later died. Tanber fled but was arrested three days later at a motel.
He had been released from prison three months earlier after pleading guilty to voluntary manslaughter in 2007 and admitting to helping kill a 26-year-old man, who was beaten to death after stealing money from the former girlfriend of another white supremacist gang member, the statement said.
 
Two Russian-made BUK air defence systems in Maarat Numan destroyed by Turkish F-16s.

2 assad regime Su-24 jets have been shot down, his Nayrab airbase is now officially out of service and big pro assad convoy attacked by Turkish drones in Khan Subul
 
Someone will challenge that in court, was the purpose of the agreement just about security measures? These people are independent of the state government and have a public duty as far as results go, but some aspects of election security should remain confidential, intent is everything.
 
Trump backer tries to get control of twitter.

Time for Bloomberg and the billionaires to step up to the plate and do something useful, this is their game and they can play it with this asshole. Get behind Dorsey with bucks and stock then insist they ban Donald from twitter for trying this bullshit, he broke their rules plenty of times, they have cause to ban him for TOS violations. No twitter and no rallies because of the pandemic, Donald might have fucked himself, us too though in the process.
 
Turkey is really going after Assad, artillery, rockets, drones, F16's and cruise missiles, took out a airport earlier.
Putin will order Trump to step on Turkey and Trump has probably already called trying to reign in Turkey, Donald is Vlad's ace in the hole and he'll need to use him. I'd look for Donald to be making threatening noises at Turkey, I wonder how the rest of NATO feels about it.
 
Well I can imagine what Europe thinks about this now!

Greece stands firm on migrants, as Turkey opens floodgates to Europe

Pazarkule, Turkey (CNN)Thousands of migrants are gathered at Turkey's border with Greece, after the Turkish government last week allowed the refugees passage to Europe saying it had "reached its capacity."
The move tramples on a 2016 deal struck with the European Union to halt migrants traveling from the Middle East towards Europe.
It comes on the back of an air strike by Russian-backed Syrian forces on the city of Idlib in the neighboring country last week, killing 33 Turkish soldiers. Turkey's about-face is seen as a way of leveraging European support for its military operation in Syria.
