So today ends the time to pay to save those 2 japaneses hostages of isis.

Its pure ***, asking 200m. How can goverment pay money to terrorist? It would just incentivate more and more kidnaping. But on the other side, how can inocent people that were just doing their jobs to be killed like that?

There is no peaceful solution for this situation...

If convicted, rapper faces 25 years to life... for rapping.

Quote:
(CNN)Song lyrics that glorify violence are hardly uncommon. But a prosecutor in California says one rapper's violent lyrics go beyond creative license to conspiracy.

San Diego-based rapper Tiny Doo has already spent eight months in prison, and faces 25 years to life in prison if convicted under a little-known California statute that makes it illegal to benefit from gang activities.

The statute in question is California Penal Code 182.5. The code makes it a felony for anyone to participate in a criminal street gang, have knowledge that a street gang has engaged in criminal activity, or benefit from that activity.

It's that last part -- benefiting from criminal activity -- that prosecutors are going after the rapper for.

Tiny Doo, whose real name is Brandon Duncan, faces nine counts of criminal street gang conspiracy because prosecutors allege he and 14 other alleged gang members increased their stature and respect following a rash of shootings in the city in 2013.

Prosecutors point to Tiny Doo's album, "No Safety," and to lyrics like "Ain't no safety on this pistol I'm holding" as examples of a "direct correlation to what the gang has been doing."

No one suggests the rapper ever actually pulled a trigger.

In fact, Duncan may rap about violence but he's got no criminal record.

Duncan told CNN's Don Lemon he's just "painting a picture of urban street life" with his lyrics.

"The studio is my canvas. I'm just painting a picture," he said. "I'm not telling anybody to go out and kill somebody."

He denied any involvement with any gang but said the prosecution has him concerned about future creative expression.

"I would love to continue to rap," he said. "But these people have you scared to do anything around here."

Prosecutors say lyrics aren't the only evidence they have. At Duncan's preliminary hearing, they presented social media posts that they say prove Duncan is still a gang member.

CNN Legal Analyst Mark Geragos says the district attorney may be trying to send a message "that you shouldn't glorify or glamorize gang activity."

"The problem is you're going to run straight head-on into the First Amendment," he said. "If they don't have anything other than the album, this case I don't think would ever stand up."

If they had removed all mention of the location in the article, I still would've guessed that it was happening in California.

Sure there is. Release the two hostages or we will drop a nuclear bomb on you.

If a nuclear bomb hit near you, you would instantly be at peace. There is nothing more peaceful than a nuclear bomb.

Erase every city that ISIS has taken over. The civilians there have either been assimilated, killed or will live a life of virtual captivity and misery forever regardless. It's humane. History will forget.

I would have to agree with Kara.

Let them kill the hostages first before dropping a nuke on them at least.

I say we stick with conventional warheads and blow up the dome of the rock. We'll give them advance warning to clear it out and stuff....

then if that doesn't work we blow up mecca. and we just keep destroying landmarks until we find one they really care(d) about.

depends on which version of aquaman you get.

in some circles, he's almost as strong as superman, having lifted oil tankers out of *his* ocean.

In most circles, he's a glorified telepath who can breathe underwater.

Yes everyone. The hostages are already dead.

They do not release hostages. They do fun things like have children shoot them in the back of the dead. The fate of the Japanese hostages will be no different.






It is inevitable in this conflict that a nuke is not eventually used by someone. Stretch it out for the next 50 to 100 years and the probability of it happening approaches 100% no doubt.
