The USA isn’t getting live feeds like we should due to the fact that their TV stations were in that area and were evacuated...hopefully we get some better news later tonight.
Al Jeezera NYC has a feed but info behind.

You’re in CONUS? I got a message that the feed has been restricted by region. I’m near DC.

ABC News Australia is carrying live coverage. I found it after Channel 7 went down.

Yes, I’m in Iowa.

I just now lost the signal. I’ve been running the feed in Pale Moon and monitoring three FR threads using IE.

Guess I jinxed myself. The Pale Moon browser completely crashed.

People in the pic are on their fones, so service apparently has NOT been shut down near the hostage site.

The pic I saw of the flag was a little different than what I usually see ISIS flying. I figured whoever these people are put together something of their own.

CNN might want to differentiate between muzzie groups but they’re all the same to me. You’ll have to try hard to find someone who hates muzzies more than I do.

Imagine how CAIR would feel about me. LOL!!!

The flag was identified on the thread earlier as Shahada.

Well with those bad a$$ good guys heading towards the terrorist bastard(s), I know what I would do. Line up hostages against the window. Backs facing window. Oh, I’d have blindfolds on the hostages and hands tied.

I watched 60 minutes tonight and all the hell going on in Syria, school kids being slaughtered by the dozen by the government, and these libs in the USA are holding mass protests because a thug wasn’t allowed to kill a cop.

I don’t know what the big padded thing is that the second guy is carrying but I’m guessing its some kind of shielding.

You can read the writing on the flag? I am impressed. How does it differ from their ISIS/Al Qaeda cousins? Islam offends me.

Just heard on 9 that the police will draw it out. The military will only come into the picture to resolve it.

I assumed the pic you posted was military. What do you think?
