Anti-Trump Protesters Block Ambulance Rushing to Hospital

The site Ray posted was one of the first to carry it. At one point, there were less than a dozen sources for that info. Later, more places picked it up and the story spread. A few varied sites:

http://www.nbc26.com/news/national/ambulance-blocked-during-travel-ban-protest

http://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/lawyer-police-responsible-for-ambulance-problems-at-protest/

http://fox61.com/2017/02/06/hundreds-of-protestors-in-new-haven-block-ambulance-carrying-critically-ill-patient-1-arrested/


Currently as of posting, there are more than 50K links to the story. That wasn't the case at all when Ray posted it. It was still breaking news at the time.

What's more interesting is which "news" sources aren't carrying the story yet. Some will, if the news gets enough attention, but they will hide it in a corner and try to delay reporting it until most of the furor has passed.

e.g. CNN

It takes a fair amount of vetting news and using some historical pattern recognition to ferret out what is mostly accurate from what is cotton candy wrapped around a razor blade. It's possible, but the amount of time and effort generally preclude it for most people. The fact checkers and media bias sites themselves are often called into question, and for good reason.

No easy solutions to this dilemma.

Man guys I may have to jump ship if Trump is dumb enough to fuck with Iran.

Sure they are scumbags lots of people are but global policeman only opens gates of hell. Iran war will make Iraq war look like a Sunday school picnic and thats if Russia doesnt get involved then shit gets real.
Git R Dun!
Messing with Iran will be probably inevitable at some point, if we like it or not.

1.) The west and KSA are butt-buddies. KSA is a massive shopper, esp. of US military hardware. Iran & KSA are ideological enemies, currently tied in a proxy ideological war.

2.) Israel will not stand by, while Iran is developing more and more ballistic missiles and at some point will probably go for nuclear weapons. Obama gave the ayatollahs a lot of money, they thanked him by parading their ballistic missile launchers in some underground base, just a few weeks after the deal was signed. The theocratic Iranian regime is emboldened and currently active in a regional dominance war.

E:
Actually it a 3-sided dominance war:

* theocratic persian Shia dictatorship Iran
* theocratic arab Sunni dictatorship KSA
* imperialist turkish Sunni dictatorship Turkey

All three fight for their brand of islam and cultural dominance. ME is a clusterfuk, Europe should build walls and minefields at the Bosphorus.

And? What do we have to do with it? Hell sell arms to both sides make some money of thats your thing while they sort it. If Trump attacks them we have 300 million shi'a hating us along with the 1.2 billion Sunni who already do.

If we try and occupy it will be worse than Vietnam. You can't just wish upon a star on this shit. Enemy has a vote.

The US and to some extent EU will try to "save" KSA (& Qatar, Bahrain) from Iran. As I've said The Gucci Gulf Arabs are one of the biggest shoppers in the west. You don't see the Iranian cheapskate ayatollahs buying 70 Ferrari's in one go. :)

Personally, Id rather see Riyadh and wahhabism burn to the ground.

(also there is the wildcard Israel who doesnt give a shit about what EU or US thinks. They will attack by themselves, if they will feel threatened by Iran. And then the west will have to pick a side)

Riyadh & wahhabism = KSA, bro. They've "attacked" many countries globally, by exporting the most radical & deadly version of Islam know to humanity. They found terrorism.

ISIS = wahhabi / salafi
al-Qaeda = wahhabi / salafi
Boko Haram, Taliban, al-Shabab... all are wahhabi / salafi ideology, stemming from Saudi Arabia

KSA is a threat to EU and US also. Cause they found radical mosques in our countries too. Preachers who study in KSA & Qatar, then teach this perverted version of Islam to our muslims.

E:
Iran hasn't directly attacked anyone, but they also have their fingers in the islamism jar (financing Hezzbolah, Hamas, etc.). They also rattle their ballistic penis all the time. A theocrat is a theocrat, I would not trust any of them.
