Assassinations

Recommended Posts

Swedish police believe they've figured out who killed Olof Palme. They've identified Stig Engström (deceased) as the person they think assassinated the Prime Minister in 1986.

Thank God.  Now the team of Sweden’s top investigator’s can open up cold cases from 1987!

As a Russian and former Putinist, I pray for Navalny's (his name is pronounced uh-lex-YAY nuh-WAHL-neey) speedy recovery.  To think that I used to troll him and spread lies about Mr. Navalny 2 years ago ... I hope he survives, ousts (censored) and makes Russia democratic and economically prosperous. I think this man deserves his own thread. Paul , do you  mind if I create a thread dedicated to this brave fighter?

Dutch crime investigator/journalist Peter R. de Vries, known for the Natalee Holloway case, was shot in his face yesterday in the city centre of Amsterdam. he's fighting for his life in the hospital right now.

The assassination attempt is linked to the marengo process. Earlier the brother and attorney of the crown witness had been killed. De Vries had also started working with the crown witness.

Can't fault the work-ethic of the assassins. That said, two guys face court over this so it's likely to remain lively in Holland for a wee while, then.

Oh aye, and...Jovenel  Moise, president of Haiti, had some visitors with firearms - he didn't live to tell the tale

The good news being this'll likely put a stop to protests demanding his resignation

Despot's wives, eh? The second the old man's dead they flee abroad and head for anywhere with a fuck-off shopping mall!

The OP doesn’t get an emoji response, but someone types RIP and gets two?  Sometimes this place we call DL makes not a bit of sense.

I do wonder why people bother to post something like "RIP" with no further comment.  

As for the responses, I suppose they're just agreement.

I kinda thought he somehow would make it since its been what? A week since he was shot. 

 

But with multiple gunshots through the head it was a bit too optimistic.

What actually happened was that Odeon posted that he had died after YW but I didn't see YW's post (as I presume neither did arghton).

 

Then Odeon obviously noticed YW had already posted so edited his post to RIP making me and arghton's sad reactions look a bit stupid and generating both of your comments.

 

Fills the day I suppose.....:D

I'll take folk posting "RIP" any day over your tedious chronic whinging, referring to yourself in the third person, and the fact you sign off every fucking post with "SC" despite having a username visible. :rolleyes:

I originally just reported he died, then I saw someone already did that, so to not double post I just changed it to R.I.P.
