Lots of non-US folk at CNN, especially CNN International.

It's revenge for us outside the US to have endured the inane Larry King for decades.

If the "British guy" is Piers Morgan, take him the gently caress back right now!

Well, yeah, no poo poo, but that he's being held under the public safety exemption per the Attorney General is still hosed up.

How is it "hosed up"? You know you are supposed to be aware of your own rights? Being Mirandized is supposed to be a reminder. It's not like nobody knows these rights until the police tell them.

You understand law enforcement doesn't ever need to give you a Miranda warning at all, unless they intend to question you and they later want to use your statements against you? They could probably convict him without him ever saying a word. (though that's not why he wasn't Mirandized)

I am aware of this, yes, but if they are holding him under an exemption then it's pretty clear that they intend to question him.

They don't "have to make him healthier", they "get to ensure he stands trial for his actions". If he dies his victims will not get the closure that a trial will bring. They're not doing it for him, they're doing it for everyone else.

Not necessarily - shrapnel, glass, broken material get kicked up and flying. Could just be superficial and not a bullet wound.

Be warned this happened in the 3 or 400s. There was just some old guy caught out after the curfew they imposed and he was supposedly "acting suspiciously". So they sent in bomb disposal robots to strip search him, probably as gently caress you for not staying inside. At last count there were 4 robots on him.

This is stupid. It's great to feel relieved that the immediate danger is over, but people got blown up and more people got shot and an entire city was locked down for a full day. I think a little more respect or somberness or something might be in order, myself, and less wooting and flag-waving.
