    Hang on a minute. The cop had a gun right? I thought you said in previous massacres that if only the victims had guns they could have stopped the shooter? So how is this cop dead? More guns isn't the answer, banning guns is. #GunControlNow

    ....Great bravery shown by police. California Highway Patrol was on scene within 3 minutes, with first officer to enter shot numerous times. That Sheriff’s Sergeant died in the hospital. God bless all of the victims and families of the victims. Thank you to Law Enforcement.

    Dear England, Scotland isn't prepared to give you the #Brexit you voted for. What you going to do about it? Are you all mouth or what? Give us independence and all this pain and anguish can be over and you can become the isolated, racist banana monarchy you aspire to be.

    Writer, journalist & documentary filmmaker John Pilger said, “In these dark times, Craig Murray's truth-telling is a beacon. He is owed our debt of gratitude, not the travesty of a prison sentence which, like the prosecution of Julian Assange, is a universal warning.” @johnpilger

    Professor Noam Chomsky added, “Craig Murray has compiled a remarkable record of courage and integrity in exposing crimes of state and working to bring them to an end. He fully merits our deep respect and support for his achievements.” #FreeCraigMurray
