Wouldn’t have expected this in Sri Lanka. Overwhelmingly Buddhist population. Probably in retaliation for Christchurch.

Funny, I get 1,000 NEWS ALERT notifications on the Mueller report on my phone and PC but nothing on this attack. I guess nobody in the media cares. Maybe not enough white people were killed? Media must be racist.

Yep, I have been trying to get some news of it all morning. We have British friends over there right now.

It's the top article of every news outlet.

The attacks began at 3am local time on Easter Sunday.

Stop with the BS.

Hell I'm the one that broke it here...

Stir it up a little, why don't ya?

U.S. new sources are traditionally focused on what happens here.
You may need to broaden your horizons.

"Muh culture war! We're under attack!"

Siege mentality on full display.

I realize that...however, WHAT I ACTUALLY SAID WAS, I have gotten ZERO notifications on this story.

Not on my iPhone, which sent me a GAZILLION notifications when the Mueller report was released, and not on my PC, where Win10 news also sent me a LOT of notifications on the Mueller report.

Thus far, ZERO notifications on this terrorist attack.

Maybe both my devices are broken. I'll have to see.

Maybe because as of 8am local time bombs apparently were still going off. The country has put a lockdown on social media and the fact it's going on 11pm there.

It's a pretty fluid situation unlike other breaking events.

We do not need any news feeds or updates..We have Ely to tell us what is REALLY going on. He will keep us straight, on the real facts and intentions.

I am a advocate for all religion, I might have started this thread if you did not do it first so I think it has more value than some other threads.
