Boston Bombing Suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev Liked To RT Homophobic Tweets

Queerty reports:

Boston marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was “as American as anybody,” according to one of his high school friends.
So it comes as no surprise that his Twitter account reflects the usual ramblings of a 19 year old, along with a few homophobic touches.
Tsarnaev’s tweets make it clear that he’s straight and likes women (and weed), but he can’t resist a few swipes at gays along the way.
“Some people feel the rain. Others just get wet, probably the gayest thing I ever heard but don’t mind me I obviously just get wet,” Tsarnaev writes in one tweet.
In other cases, he liked to retweet not particularly funny jokes.

• “Oh, you’re gay? That must be a real pain in the ass.”
• “In a Grammar class : Teacher:- “HE does not like girls.” What is ‘He’ in this sentence. . ?? … . . Student :- Gay… . !!””Oh, you’re gay? That must be a real pain in the ass.”
• “If you were sleeping between a beautiful girl and a gay man, who’s side would you turn your back to?”

Compared to what Tsarnaev is accused of, these are incredibly mild. There are no death threats against gays or invocations about the wrath of God on homosexuals. Instead, what they highlight are the average, casually homophobic beliefs of a young straight American male. In that sense, Tsarnaev was depressingly a lot like everyone else.

Islamic Terrorists Threaten Eurovision: We Will Use Chemical Weapons And Knives

Because Azerbaijan won last year’s competition, this year will be the host of the contest.

Joe.My.God. reports:

Islamic terrorists have threatened to use chemical weapons against attendees and performers at the Eurovision Song Contest, which this year will be held in Azerbaijan, an almost entirely Muslim nation. The 57 year-old competition is heavily followed by gay fans, many of whom travel to the host cities every year for associated parties and nightclub events.

The Azeri terrorists, an Islamic group, have said they will target the participants of the Eurovision song contest in Azerbaijan as they are “European scum”. It has threatened the use of “knives and chemical weapons” at the contest. The terror group said in a statement yesterday “Blood of the European scum must be shed by the will of Allah.” The annual musical contest has attracted entries from 42 countries from eastern and western Europe this year, but the group said the Eurovision is “a nightmare for all Muslims.” The statement comes after a widespread crackdown by Azeri authorities on the group in preparation for the contest - 17 members were arrested and one blew up himself and a policeman in recent raids.

According to the above-linked report, additional security will be added for the contestants. Anxious to put on a good show for the world’s media, the Azeri government has reportedly spent more than €500m on Eurovision-related infrastructure, included upgrading hotels, roads, the airport, and constructing a massive new arena just for the event.

Mexico: Terrorist Attack by Mexican Cartel At Casino In Monterrey

The Huffington Post reports:

Lorena Villareal Elizondo went to meet a friend at the Casino Royale, a popular low-cost lunch spot, when armed men burst through the door shouting: “Get out! Get out! We’re going to burn everything!”
It was only 19-year-old Carla Maria Espinoza Vega’s second day at work at the casino when the intruders sprinkled accelerant around the front door and set the building on fire.
Friends and family mourned Villareal, a 39-year-old mother of three, at a visitation Friday, while Espinoza’s mother filled out paperwork to retrieve her body.
Mexicans have endured plenty of horrific crimes during their country’s bloody five-year war against drug gangs. But the arson in the northern Mexican city that killed 52, mostly women, was a macabre milestone in a conflict that’s claimed more than 35,000 people since 2006, according to government figures. Others put the toll near 40,000.
The victims this time weren’t cartel foot soldiers or migrants resisting forced recruitment by gangs, as were the cases in other attacks. They were workers or customers who liked to lunch or play bingo and slots in the afternoons in an affluent part of town.

“She was my baby,” said Espinoza’s tearful mother, Guadalupe Vega, as she waited at the morgue.
“She was like my sister,” said Villareal’s cousin, Guadalupe Elizondo Gracia, outside a giant funeral home that drew hundreds of mourners to a half-dozen visitations Friday night.
In a nationally televised speech, an angry President Felipe Calderon declared three days of mourning and labeled the attack the worst against civilians in the nation’s recent history.
“We are facing true terrorists who have gone beyond all limits,” said Calderon, who also announced he is sending more federal forces to the city of 1 million people. “Today, Mexico is upset and saddened and we have to transform this sadness and this grief into courage and valor to face … these criminals.”
Hours later, he appeared in front of the burned-out casino and place a large wreath and observe of moment of silence.
A surveillance tape released Friday showed eight or nine men arriving in four cars and carrying canisters into the building, which was engulfed in flames in little more than two minutes as people tried to flee in panic.
Calderon offered a $2.4 million reward for information leading to their capture, the same amount offered for the arrest of top drug lords. Authorities had sketches of three of the men based on interviews with 16 survivors of the fire, said Jorge Domene, Nuevo Leon state security spokesman.
He also said officials had located three of the four vehicles in the video, dumped around various parts of the city. All had been reported stolen.
Authorities said they are still investigating whether the exits were blocked. But many bodies were found in offices and the bathrooms, indicating they were expecting a shootout.
“They sought places to protect themselves from firearms,” said Jorge Camacho Rincon, civil protection director for the state of Nuevo Leon. “They went running to closed areas.”
Most died of smoke inhalation and were found clutching cell phones in their hands, a law-enforcement official who wasn’t authorized to be quoted by name told The Associated Press.
In the streets around the casino on Friday, people said the latest violence deepened their sense of vulnerability. In recent years, the city has been ensnared in a turf battle between the Gulf cartel and its offshoot, the Zetas, and is on track for record levels of killings this year.
The casino was attacked twice before. In May, gunmen strafed it from the outside. Last month, gunmen killed 20 people at a bar.
“What happened last night was the limit,” said a man nursing a Coke at a hamburger stand across from the city’s morgue, where families streamed in all night to identify bodies. Like many people, he refused to give his name out of fear.
“We don’t know how to protect ourselves or whom we’re talking to,” he said. “We don’t have security right now.”
The attack resonated across the country because many of the victims were from the middle class, so far mostly untouched by violence, said Jorge Chabat, an expert in safety and drug trafficking at the Center for Research and Teaching in Economics.
“We’re talking about an attack on a civilian population of a certain income,” he said. “Because who was there was from the middle class, the upper middle class of an important city in Mexico.”
Villareal, who had a travel agency near the casino, intended to meet a friend for lunch, but the person had just left by the time she arrived, said Francisco Medina, 41, a close friend and neighbor who also came to the visitation packed with people and giant flower wreaths.
“She decided to stay and eat alone when the bad luck came,” he said.

RELATED:  According to Mauricio Fernández, Mayor of San Pedro García Garza (one of the most, if not the most, wealthiest municipalities in Mexico) there wasn’t suppose to be a Casino in that area of Monterrey in the first place, given the kind of neighborhood it is at (close by from schools and residences), so it shows the level of corruption there is to protect the Casinos in town.

I know this goes our of topic (it’s not LGBT or Religion nor Technology related) but it’s just I can’t believe the amount of this kind of news I read every single day while I’ve been here in Mexico. However, i must say, that even though there’s been lots of bloody massacres, it’s been always between the Armed Forces & Drug Cartels. This is the first attack, that I have knowledge of, directed towards civilians. 

Mexico is the new Colombia.

Westboro: We’ll Picket Norway Funerals

Like many European nations, Norway has strong restrictions on the public utterances of hate speech. Even carrying Westboro’s trademark “God Hates Fags” sign would subject them to arrest. But I doubt they’ll actually show up.

NORWAY: “Christian Fundamentalist” Held For Terrorist Attack, 91 Deaths

Joe.My.God. reports:

Norwegian authorities are holding a man described as a “Christian fundamentalist” in connection with yesterday’s terrorist attack on a youth camp. At least 91 people were killed.

• The police said they did not know if the man, identified by the Norwegian media as Anders Behring Breivik, was part of a larger conspiracy. He is being questioned under the country’s terrorism laws, police said, and is cooperating with the investigation of the attacks, the deadliest on Norwegian soil since World War II. “We are not sure whether he was alone or had help,” a police official, Roger Andresen, said at a televised news conference, adding: “What we know is that he is right-wing and a Christian fundamentalist.” So far Mr. Breivik has not been linked to any anti-jihadist groups, he said.
