I can see that as a double edged sword.

i liked seeing the guys from the army who were just probably watching the marathon leap into action and start tearing down the fence.

I'm not sure if I'm leaving the city yet. But I'm here until 6pm required for work but I think I may walk down to a bar in the Finance district if there are any other TPGers in the city shoot me a PM whether or not you're up for some drinks right now. And all my family has checked in and all coworkers are reporting in as well. Some extended group that we haven't heard from but yeah it is nuts.

I'm no where near the city, but now that I know your there, I'll be sure an bug you next time I make the trip.

As far as i can tell that is the best method to go by. Sometimes you just have to know when to step to the side and let the trained take over.

Sad and horrifying. That is all for now.

The pictures of the blood stained streets/sidewalks are horrifying. Thoughts and prayers to the victims, and swift justice to the guilty party(ies) involved.

Saudi Nationalist was what some of the news articles are saying. I have a lot of Saudi friends here, I really hope that nobody tries to take justice into their own hands and does something stupid...

If Saudi Arabia ever runs out of oil, they better fucking duck.

What an enlightened attitude. One man does not represent their whole country. Let's try to calm down and let the facts come out. Then we can decide who to be mad at.
