Mubarak Al-Kabeer Shootout:
Security forces attacked a house and chased suspects from one area to another apparently...In Qurain...5 dead.
Up to 10 suspects were chased, five dead and 4 captured...5 security officers were injured and one CIVILIAN again!

11:41am KTV broadcast about it for 1 minute and then goes to the typical show by bearded man, and how you can wash for prayers with yellowish water and tree leaves and if a pig fell into a salt mill and became salt then its ok to eat it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow i am glad that they told me that because thats what we really needed to know in this day and age.

Yeah, most people i know heard about it around ten or eleven am..Limited coverage..even the news tends to just copy the same single article..we get very little info..like who were they, what led security forces to them?

LOOOOOL!!! kwtia, this is exactly what is happening to our country.....bearded men telling us how to do EVERYTHING! We cant take a shit without taking a sheikh's opinion and permission nowadays!! The results are what we see happening now. This paragraph is soo beauitifully ironic.

yeah Q, isn't it just maddening..they sit there and ask 'why is this happening here?' for one second and then they switch to the very reason it is happening here. They don't even seem to realise the irony of having 99% of tv shows be ones that are conducted by the very same regressive simpletons that would lead poeple to limit their conciousness to the point where any old pied piper of paradise can convince them of the most ridiculous things...and then they wonder why society gives birth to these guys with violence on the brain.
