Unfortunately, this is the sad reality - that while military forces around the world sometimes attract smart individuals, the bulk is made of not-very-bright underachievers like this. You can repeat something till you're blue in the face and there'll always be schmucks like this.

Ogiedogie, I think you have mistaken a newspaper for either a god or an omniscient police department. How would you expect ANY newspaper to know who was responsible for a crime and why a few hours after it happened, especially something as complex as arson. Reality check...1,2...1,2,3.

A bottle is not a weapon of choice for murder? In the surroundings of a bar, save the knife that a barman may have for slicing citrus fruits, it is the MOST effective weapon for killing someone.

When I took Northworst in the states, I was shocked at the size of the stewardesses. They were over a certain age, which does not hamper their ability for service, but were also fat and therefore blocked anyone from moving past them through the aisles. They were also freaking cranky…

if they actually have came out and said it, chances are high that they will refund the cash. I wonder why they admitted it anyway. Some internal threats of whistle-blowing?

Apparently the food is good at the demonstrations, brought by BMWs and Mercs to the demonstrators to make sure they have less incentive to leave.
