Gunfire and blaze at Moscow concert hall, reports say
(www.bbc.com)
Time for Putin to fill the concert hall with poison gas.
There's precedent.
I'm not gonna beat up on Moscow for that one. Probably wasn't the best handling, but they had no incentive to mishandle it. It was a difficult hostage situation, and it could have also played out worse, as there were bombs in the theater.
It's hard to estimate an exact amount of gas that would incapacitate one person without killing someone else.
I'd like to think that we'd have done better than kill off a ton of the hostages in a similar situation, but we've also dicked up some hostage situations too, even where we've got lots of resources and time to plan.
Waco wasn't even a hostage situation. We just killed a bunch of weird religious people.
ISIS has claimed responsibility, though they have not yet provided evidence to support this.
Ah fuck, they are going to destroy the past
Death to Russia.
Should have done this when Traitor Tucker was in the neighbourhood smh
