Wait until you see the companion video. Dirt: Useful or just plain dirty?

Danish police have said three officers were shot and wounded at blasphemy debate in Copenhagen where the French ambassador was speaking.
Two gunmen are said to still be at large.
Reports say up to forty shots were fired outside the venue in the Danish capital.
Controversial Danish cartoonist Lars Vilks, who has drawn caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad, was also present at the debate, according to local reports.

So this guy just had to draw a caricature of the Prophet Muhammad.
yeah but he doesn’t deserve to be killed for it.
:???:
just as I suspected.
I was hoping for lots of ‘Be My Valentine’ tweets today, wasn’t expecting ‘Be My Daddy’.
:D
HAHAHAHAHAHahaha…But jokes aside I think a lot of people harbor that wish - including many in the MSM, GOP, etc…
:lol: Too true! Will I reply and say: “Hello son!”
You should! :)
Chips, you should reply “Luke, I am your daddy “
:lol: Do NOT tempt me, GGail!!!
Hahaha!

Speaking of which, was just reminded of my fave cricketer ever on the Beeb site:
Legend.
LOL. I thought ranatunga was the one. You should see him saunter to get his ‘runs’.
:-) I wonder when my fella landed, did the earth move? I suspect it did.
I agree Chips. That’s a BIG fella :shock:
He’s a substantial chap, GGail!
‘Scuse me - reigning European champions!1!1!

Amazingly odd.
good one.
Endorsement!!
with de blasio, that makes us the three musketeers.
“I provide those few examples to demonstrate that over the course of our history, there have been both attempts to clarify the roles outlined in the Constitution as well as various maneuvers used to circumvent them. That is important to keep in mind as we watch conservatives argue that the President’s AUMF against ISIS is too limiting on presidential war powers and liberals argue that it is an endorsement for unlimited presidential war making.”

Putin’s conventional WAR on Ukraine, continues ….
Our Ambassador to Ukraine getting into the info sharing act …. tweeting in Ukrainian …
“G-7 Leaders Statement on Ukraine
We, the leaders of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, the United States, the President of the European Council and the President of the European Commission welcome the “Package of Measures for the Implementation of the Minsk Agreements” adopted by their original signatories on 12th February 2015 in Minsk. Implementation of the “Minsk Package” offers a way forward to a comprehensive, sustainable, and peaceful resolution to the crisis in eastern Ukraine.
However, the G7 remains concerned about the situation in Ukraine, in particular in view of the fighting around Debaltseve where Russian-backed separatist militias are operating beyond the line of contact agreed upon in the Minsk agreements of September 2014, causing numerous civilian casualties. We urge all sides to adhere strictly to the provisions of the Package and to carry out its measures without delay, starting with a ceasefire on the 15th of February. All parties should refrain from actions in the coming days that would hinder the start of the ceasefire. The G7 stands ready to adopt appropriate measures against those who violate the “Minsk package” and therefore intensify the costs for them, in particular against those who do not observe the agreed comprehensive ceasefire and withdrawal of heavy weapons.
We again condemn Russia’s illegal annexation of Crimea which is in violation of international law.
The G7 welcomes the agreement in principle reached on the 12th of February by the IMF and the government of Ukraine on a new economic reform program that will be supported by an IMF Extended Fund Facility. The G7 members look forward to prompt consideration of the program by the IMF Executive Board. We are providing financial assistance to support Ukraine. This international assistance will help Ukraine in the ambitious economic reforms it is undertaking to restore economic growth and improve the living standards of the Ukrainian people. We commend the government of Ukraine for its commitment to implement this ambitious reform agenda with regard to economic, rule-of-law, and democratic reforms.”
“The Ukrainian National Security and Defense Council issued a statement, Unian reports.
Russian-terrorist forces, who didn’t have the opportunity to break through the defense of Ukrainian military, for the second day in a row now are conducting artillery fire on the residential quarters of Debaltsevo using heavy Howitzer artillery and volley-fire systems.
Observer satellites recorded a black plume of smoke covering the entire city. Even filming from outer space is recording the scale of crimes against humanitary by Russian military and the terrorist groupings under their control.
The satellite photo is posted on the NSDC website and has been posted in ictv.ua”

Cease fire ain’t gonna happen.
Also, as happens when you start a war all kinds of non-linear, unanticipated stuff emerges. Putin, for instance, apparently has very little control over the ‘separatists’ unless he orders his troops to kill or detain them. We already have evidence of ‘separatists’ and Russian troops killing each other.
gunnite toddys.
Very cute!! Hope you have a restful evening, friend ….
Very sweet of you, Chips! Happy Valentine’s Day and hope you and Danny are having a fun time.
