I want the video available. We know the best method for advancing knowledge....open presentation of all evidence for peer review. We have access to the data on the higgs boson. We should have the data from the shooting.

I'd say entertainment, not science, is what's really going on here.

I think the point is that her motherhood or otherwise is not usually important when determining whether someone is a criminal or not. It might be if she was stealing bread for her children and was prosecuted. In which case, her motherhood might be mitigating. But fronting her motherhood is usually the type of manipulative thing the Daily Mail does to show who the reader is meant to sympathize with.

Or if Samson wrote for the Daily Mail, "Poor Orphaned Boy is Condemned by the World"

What part of it isn't true, and are you basing your assertion on you having watched the video once?

This is the woman I described in post #1089. She wasn't returning to the mosque to check on her husband. She was escaping the grounds but didn't make it.

Another false story is now very common and a mural has been painted to honor a man. He is described variously as tackling or attempting to tackle or take the gun of the shooter during the massacre at Al Noor. In actuality, he tried to run down a hallway (his only escape path) without the shooter seeing him. It was necessary to run near the shooter to get to the hallway and he chose to do it while the shooter was looking away. But he must have been heard because the killer turns and shoots him just as he begins his run down that hallway. This is the only person to move towards the shooter. The stories say he tried to tackle but instead he was trying to get out.

I simply used it as a descriptor. It informs anyone of the gender and that she is a mother. It wasn't to gain sympathy or mitigate anything. If anything it may show that white supremacists may not always be guys.

They are voters with a powerful lobby. I would guess AR15 type guns are gone either way.

Farmers might have semi-auto rifles with calibers larger than .22 which could be used to murder multiple people. It seems like the PM would like to eliminate any such gun. But the farmers are going to get to keep these things.

I asked if any white supremacists are farmers because those guys are going to keep their semi-auto rifles.

Why would you want to advance knowledge of how to massacre an unarmed prayer meeting?
