Etushispushingupdaisies 136 Posted August 20, 2020 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? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

odeon 98 Posted July 7, 2021 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.

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.

Toast 16,170 Posted July 15, 2021 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. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Genfærd 452 Posted July 15, 2021 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. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.
