Unlike Dylaan Roof, however, Cruz was not driven by Police on the way to the station for a stop at Burger King, which the cops paid for. WE'RE IMPROVING, AMERICA!

Just Another School Shooting

The next time a Republican (or Democrat without a spine) says, "The aftermath of a mass shooting isn't the time for a political discussion on guns," remind them that, in today's America, there is no time we're not in the aftermath of a mass shooting!

The confessed shooter who killed 17 people at Stoneman Douglas High School stopped by Subway sandwich shop and a McDonald’s after committing the mass murder, authorities said Thursday.
Nikolas Cruz, 19, fled the school by dropping his weapon and blending in with other students before ducking into a Walmart and then heading to a Subway to purchase a drink, Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel said at a press conference.

Cruz then entered the McDonald’s at 3:01 p.m. and sat in the fast food restaurant for a period of time before taking off on foot, Israel said.

At 3:41 p.m. Cruz was taken into custody by a local police officer without incident.

We're improving, America: unlike in the Dylaan Roof case, the cops here apparently didn't drive a mass murderer to a restaurant and PAY for what he ordered!

Taliban publish letter calling on US to start Afghan peace talks

Source: Guardian

Wed 14 Feb 2018 11.57 EST

In an unexpected overture at a time of increasing bloodshed in Afghanistan, the Taliban have published an open letter expressing a desire for peace talks and calling on the “American people” and “peace-loving congressmen” to pressurise the Donald Trump administration into negotiations.

The letter, released by the Taliban spokesman, Zabiullah Mujahid, comes amid deteriorating conditions for US and Afghan coalition forces on the battlefield and after a month in which two major Taliban assaults on Kabul killed 150 civilians.

The Trump administration has sent mixed messages about its readiness to have contacts with the Taliban, but it has insisted that all substantive negotiations would have to be led by the Afghan government.

For its part, the Taliban refuses to talk to the Afghan government without first discussing the withdrawal of foreign troops with its powerful ally.
