Pizzagate: Gunman fires in restaurant at centre of conspiracy

-Facepalm-
Let me get this straight. Some idiot thought an online hoax about a Pizzeria that secretly served as a child sex ring was true and went all vigilante to that restaurant? WTF!?

[MCAL]

The stupidity is frightening.

And I suppose this is good reminder that these guys believe this Pizzagate.

Nothing wrong with believing it....more interesting is how "investigation" involves randomly firing a gun inside the scene

Funny thing about Time person of the year competition: I voted yesterday and according to official vote Hilary was winning Trump by few hundred votes.

Strike two I guess? xD

It's a gullible country.

Remember the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq?
or the birther movement around Obama?

Park Geun-hye: South Korea lawmakers vote to impeach leader

[Brother Coa]

So North has a cult around the leader ruling them and South has a cult around the leader who rule them.

The more some things change the more they stay the same.

A California man steals $5 million, spends $1 million on a cellphone game

$5 million.

Everyone has thought about it — what to do with such a sudden windfall of money. From purchasing a luxurious yacht to relieving one’s family of financial strain for many years to come, the possibilities are endless.

The amount of money he stole would change most people’s lives, and it seemed to have changed Co’s as well. Among the things he spent it on are the expected — luxury cars, season tickets to see the Sacramento Kings and the San Francisco 49ers.

Easily the strangest expenditure was money spent on playing “Game of War,” a smartphone game that is considered a freemium app — referring to a game that costs nothing to acquire but requires monetary purchases in-game. In other words, if you want better weaponry or some such within the game, you can purchase it.

The average paying player spent $550 on the game in 2015, according to VentureBeat.

Co spent approximately $1 million.

Just wow.... how do you even spend that much on a mobile game?

Not really a news but a video and a commercial. But in itself it's one very big news.

Seriously now, this will be the future of many men. I am just waiting for holographic version before buying one. And the supposed AI system they have made for it is brilliant, and it will only be upgraded as the time goes by. It't ain't cheap ( 2-3000 USD ) but add to the fact there will be holographs version soon and an option to load your favorite anime waifu image and viola.

Someone is going to become rich for this and there are going to be a lot less children in the future. Well, they can probably make holographic ones as well. xD

Your video links to:

http://So you're saying that even if the Russians are responsible, the US should just... ignore it?

[Brother Coa]

Sorry, mixed it up with other news.

There, fixed.

[rantaid]

next generation troll will make a virus where the holo-waifu get holo-NTR-ed behind his back.

Russia does the Hunger Games for real in Siberia but no guns are allowed

Producers say that anything goes, including rape and murder, although they warn people taking part that they're still subject to the rule of law and can be arrested at any time.

Whoa, that's kinda extreme and must be illegal. What sane person would make Schwarzenegger's The Running Man into a reality?

Not really. You are technically able to do anything even now except you are still subject to laws. It's simply called real life simulator

[Kanon]

You'd have to be a real idiot to rape and murder on TV knowing you're still subjected to the law. Producers are just saying this to hype their shit. People will watch it hoping something of the like will happen, but it won't.

[AntonKutovoi]

Don't know, seem shady as f*ck. This so called "Project, that will be shown on the TV" have official site, VKontakte page... and that's about it on Russian. No info from any major news sources (only some translated ones). All other info I found goes from the foreign sources. And even if it will ends up being real, either it will be quickly closed or it simply some typical staged and scripted shitshow. Anyway, that part about murder and rape looks more like "Don't try to sue us later for anything that will happen to you" and I'm not even sure that it will work.
In other words - need more info
