Staged Heroic Photos of Terrorists?

These photos certainly do look posed.

Awww, hell man. I was hoping for gauze-covered Glamour Shots. Maybe even have a jihadi in a brandy snifter?

Cheers,
Dave at Garfield Ridge

The photographer probably got a bunch of props and his buds together and took the photos. Why go out with real insurgents? A J-DAM could show up and spoil that Pulitizer mood.

At least, that's what I'd do.

Or, more likely, they are his buds AND terrorists which, hopefully,could be sticky for AP.
Like they care.

Er. If those are rough, tough jihadis, why are they all standing in such male-modelesque ways? You know -- the hips tilted, the pelvis thrust forward, the guns held feyly in the air with one arm in a really impractical I-could-ride-by-on-my-bike-and- thwack-it-right-out-of-their-hands way. When I see pictures of our soldiers none of them stand or carry their guns like that. Posed indeed.

I realize some of these guys are genuine, stone-cold psychos...but there's just something about a youngster with a black sack over his head with two loopy eye holes cut in that looks so unbearably stupid, I can't get exercised.

It's like the goth thing. Please don't mistake my contemptuous pity for fear.

Butters:

Well, thanks for offerin' to let me in your clique, guys, uh but, to be honest, I'd rather be a cryin' little pussy than a faggy Goth kid.

A lot of pictures are staged like the picture of the handshake between rabin and arafat with bill clinton standing over them that was staged for the cameras

I think the photographer has done a good job.

No One is Above the Lore "We have imported alien, violent, dark-age cultures that work hand in hand with our own native-born tyrants to drag us back to an even darker age. Forever. They must be vanquished and excised from our midst. If that means ditching the original Constitution to do so, then God help me, so be it." My latest essay over at Taki's Magazine.

Columbia asks NYPD to evict colonizers from aboriginal Jewish lands; Kathy Hochul talks about bringing "safety" to campus; raid to come?
If you kick them off the campus, they'll just start a terrorist movement to "get their lands back."
NYPD raids Hamilton Hall, which was renamed to Hinds Hall, to conduct the physical removal and arrests of campus protesters at Columbia.
The Raid begins. Stinkies are being dragged out of occupied Hamilton Hall by cops. Cops have announced that they will be charged with criminal trespass.
Space Ice roasts the new Roadhouse
I think he's wrong but I know some of you didn't like it. His Best Movie Ever review of the original Roadhouse was funnier.
Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah, Here I Am at Intifada: "Are we willing to do whatever is necessary to preserve our freedom? The other side has clearly demonstrated what it is willing to do, and is actively doing, to take it away. That requires self-preservation 'by any means necessary.' As Allen Ludden (or Bert Convy) might say, the password is Revolution. Contemplating such a thing is unfathomable. But seeing New York City “fundamentally transformed” into Nuremberg-on-the-Hudson, the unfathomable quickly becomes not only fathomable but quite reasonable." My latest at Taki's Magazine. Please read and comment! [J.J. Sefton]
Joe Biden knows what it's like for wives (or husbands) of policemen to get that phone call telling them their spouse has been shot, because "I've gotten one of those phone calls, under different circumstances"
Wow, Beau Biden was a police officer killed in duty in addition to being a daring warfighter KIA in Iraq or Afghanistan or wherever Joe needs it to be! A real renaissance man of action! And a first-rate all-purpose corpse!More Biden gaffes at Red State
WTF?! New York appeals court overturns Harvey Weinstein's 2020 rape conviction from landmark #MeToo trial And yet Donald Trump was forced to pay off a psychotic liar and rape-fantasist for libel? A "libel" that accurately called her out as a liar for lying about him raping her in a Bergdorf's elevator? With the Alvin Bragg/Letitia James' Stalinist show trials still going on? It is to laugh. And vomit [J.J. Sefton]

CJN is shocked at how shocked Jews and other liberals are to discover anti-Semitism coming from the movement they supported for decades, while being somewhat heartened that maybe the scales are at last falling from their eyes. Happy Passover to all!
