Not courage, but instinct takes over.

In my case instinct would mean legs
I guess even or especially murderers want their fifteen minutes of fame these days.

So that is one, but there are 3 angles of footage. So there were 3 very brave photographers. Only 1 interviewed? Why not the others?

Aaah - I had assumed this was about the Israeli soldier who was just convicted.

Odd that the photographer would take the camera off the pod, then remount it as the assassin wields the gun around. Strange. And where are the other 2 photographers?
That exhibit was titled to be of Kamchatka, yet the images we see on the wall, are pretty poor tourist perspectives of other places than Kamchatka. Strange things.
Also, I never knew when taking a bullet at 10 foot range with a 44 you drop down, vs have an impact blow.

News that doesn't add up!

Then in Turkey you get one of the most secured internationally famous nightclubs with metal detector entry, pat downs, yet you have a shooter with an assault rifle and a backpack full of rounds enter the place? AND have time to replace clips between rounds as there are 8 armed security officers just on that floor get away with gunning down 40 guests.  No officer was able to take a shot between rounds?
There was no way the shooter could have entered on his own in the first place, let alone leave guests without security intervention.  I wonder if the video footage will be fully released, or will it be just the chaos of it all?

Well, they say they have arrested him today with almost 200 grand in dollars inside a 'luxury' apartment. (The Turkey nightclub shooter.)

Next, it will turn out to have been a plant job by the US: a foreign play within the current battle within the States. You know, proxy wars etc. Or perhaps the rights to airfields.

I like the use of the word luxury. It's inevitably employed, too, when journos mention rich people's yachts, as if there was any other kind... The intention is always to associate a high living standard with some sort of crime, or sleaze, or what have you; wealth can never be commonly accepted as the result of hard work, talent or plain good fortune. It's always intentionally tainted in order to excite the appetites of the great unwashed and to offer a sense of selfrighteousness, a patch to their own relative misfortune. Guess it sells, inflames and sells even more.

Tends to bring the Moon back to mind. But we've been there already, haven't we?

hehehe...
Yes, they try and make success a crime.

As far as my research into the 69 landing. Never happened, and not gonna for some time, at the least.
But then again,

I have so far found that relativity has been proven wrong.
Speed of light is not a constant, and it isn't the fastest thing measured.
Quite possibly the earth doesn't spin.
We maybe a devolved race, not one of evolution.

That last one or two are still a bit....up in the air :-)
