First question is always, “What’s the NYT’s [insert media outlet] angle”?

[Steely Tom]

Historically, Russia tends to play pretty rough in situations of this nature.

[shanover]

If you are sentenced to Penal Colony 19 or any other Penal Colony for that matter, your future is grim.

The survivors may find themselves in a facility located further north and east. They’ll miss the balmy winters that the German Sixth Army enjoyed in the region.

Saw the videos and what these Islamists did.

Nasty.

[Red6]

There is no such thing as a free lunch.

Yet we expect free news media.

What we get is sociopolitical advertising pretending to be news.

Near all the media has a political bias. Objectivity and accuracy are not even a journalistic tenet.

The reader is not a paying customer for the most part. Those who pay for the advertising and who own the media have the say.

Perhaps one with a dolphin in front.

“”””Inmates claiming to be motivated by radical Islam””””

Creative writing, ‘claiming’ and I doubt the muslims used the weird phrase “radical islam” for Islam.

[Telepathic Intruder]

The only good Islamist...

I won’t finish that thought.

[marcusmaximus]

Putin needs to kiss more Qurans to keep this from happening again.

[frank ballenger]

Yeah, handing them flowers and Hare Krishna booklets doesn’t work in prison riots over there.

[Savage Beast]

I think it's called агитпроп

[Tijeras_Slim]

Ouch…

[Who is John Galt?]

[metmom]

And I say more power to them.

You have to be as ruthless in dealing with them as they are to everyone else.

[marcusmaximus]

Putin needs to build more mosques, too. And kiss more Qurans. Appeasing Islam works great for Putin.

[Steely Tom]

Good observations.

[bgill]

Islamists can’t seem to get along with anybody.

Nanzi: “Oh, now that’s a good boy! Yes! And if you give Momala here one, too, we’ll make sure, uhm, eight whole digits make it to your account. Direct!”
