      And in the OP’s case, mentioning it on here doesn’t mean that he cares either, it may or may not simply be an opportunistic dig at whatever group he wants to have a dig at, at the expense of other victims.
      There was so much bull-sh** coming out from the media I did not want to bother commenting. In particular, the media were pushing the government line that the attackers can't be locals.

      It reminded me of when I used to holiday in Luxor every year. The day before the massacre at Hatshepsut, the whole city was quiet and many guides advised tourists not to travel to the East Bank. Obviously many locals knew what was about to happen.

      The next year when I returned, there were very few tourists. A taxi driver said we knew massacre was going to happen but we never thought it would affect the tourist trade. Unfortunately, that is the mentality of some uneducated people in foreign places.

        Just asking in case I missed the snowflake memo.

        Are we keeping it hush-hush, lest we offend?
        Absolutely outstanding. Cognitive dissonance at its best (worst).

            I thought I'd sit back and give someone else the opportunity. You know how touchy some people can be regarding the followers of that particular Abrahamic Branch.
