The Tel-Aviv Headquarters of the LGBT Association was attacked about an hour ago by a man in black who came in began shooting.

2 dead.

12 wounded.

I'm shocked.

I cannot even... comprehend...

This place acts as a club and tonight there was a gathering of young people.

The shooter fled and is still at large.

I'm feeling sick.

I don't how there can be any doubt of this homophobia motivated killing spree.

Fuck me.

I'm at home and I can't... fuck.

Oh, fuck. That's terrible... I hope they grab the bastard.

And good wishes to the wounded (and their families...)

I just saw the headline, and thought of you. I'm so sorry.

It's those poor kids who thought they were safe... god I don't know what they're going to do now :-(

Augh. I heard this on the news and I thought about you. But our radio news said it was a 'gay club', as if it were a nightclub or something.

That's what I heard as well (ah, we probably listened to the same broadcast). A generic club and the Tel-Aviv Headquarters of the LGBT Association are very different types of target, imo. I hope they catch this fucker.

I agree. I was really pissed off when the News kept calling it a club, when it's a tiny bunch of rooms in a basement!

Yeah that was the impression, when in fact the place is used as a clubhouse for groups and not for parties.

OMG, that's appalling. My sympathies to all the victims and their families, and the entire GLBT community terrorised by this murderer.

There are vigils and rallies... I hope I can participate in some.

I am so sorry to hear about this.

Hang in there, no one deserves to be terrorized and oppressed like this.

Indeed not.
Thank you.

V and Justice

V: Ah, I was forgetting that we are not properly introduced. I do not have a name. You can call me V. Madam Justice...this is V. V... this is Madam Justice. hello, Madam Justice.

Justice: Good evening, V.

V: There. Now we know each other. Actually, I've been a fan of yours for quite some time. Oh, I know what you're thinking...

Justice: The poor boy has a crush on me...an adolescent fatuation.

V: I beg your pardon, Madam. It isn't like that at all. I've long admired you...albeit only from a distance. I used to stare at you from the streets below when I was a child. I'd say to my father, "Who is that lady?" And he'd say "That's Madam Justice." And I'd say "Isn't she pretty."

V: Please don't think it was merely physical. I know you're not that sort of girl. No, I loved you as a person. As an ideal.

Justice: What? V! For shame! You have betrayed me for some harlot, some vain and pouting hussy with painted lips and a knowing smile!

V: I, Madam? I beg to differ! It was your infidelity that drove me to her arms!

V: Ah-ha! That surprised you, didn't it? You thought I didn't know about your little fling. But I do. I know everything! Frankly, I wasn't surprised when I found out. You always did have an eye for a man in uniform.

Justice: Uniform? Why I'm sure I don't know what you're talking about. It was always you, V. You were the only one...

V: Liar! Slut! Whore! Deny that you let him have his way with you, him with his armbands and jackboots!

V: Well? Cat got your tongue? I though as much.

V: Very well. So you stand revealed at last. you are no longer my justice. You are his justice now. You have bedded another.

Justice: Sob! Choke! Wh-who is she, V? What is her name?

V: Her name is Anarchy. And she has taught me more as a mistress than you ever did! She has taught me that justice is meaningless without freedom. She is honest. She makes no promises and breaks none. Unlike you, Jezebel. I used to wonder why you could never look me in the eye. Now I know. So good bye, dear lady. I would be saddened by our parting even now, save that you are no longer the woman I once loved.

*KABOOM!*
