RIA news agency said at least three people in camouflage clothing had opened fire at the Crocus City Hall, and that some people had been wounded.

Police had arrived at the scene, RIA said.

Video footage published on Russian social media channels showed chaotic scenes, with a large crowd of concertgoers attempting to flee the hall, followed by gunshots.

Other video footage showed a number of people lying motionless in pools of blood outside the hall

Reuters was unable immediately to verify the footage.

TASS news agency reported an explosion and a fire in the building where the shooting took place.

The Kommersant newspaper posted footage online showing smoke billowing from what it said was the concert venue building.

Can't imagine what kind of situation the terrorists are in.
Not only did they commit one of the most devasting terrorist attacks in modern Russian history, but this event has absolutely humiliated Putin in terms of him being unable to protect his own citizens during a war.
There have been talks of Russia reinstating the death penalty solely for these guys. But if we've learned anything from any Russian shock video that has been posted in the last 20 years, they fucking love torturing people. A quick death is by far the most favorable scenario for these guys.
I think these terrorists are going to experience a fate worse than death.

Pretty sure it was the following timeline:
* USA gets warning over ISIS attack in Russia with one of their insiders.
* USA, for once, does the actually right thing and warns the Russians about it, along with updating their own citizens with warning for incoming terrorist attack.
* Russians proceed to ignore warning since Americans must be full of shit/actually caring for their citizens is costly.
* Attack happens.
* USA knows who attacked because they fucking warned the Russians about it.

Say you had an asshole neighbor who constantly calls the cops on you, lets their pit bulls shit on your yard and kill your outdoor pets and attack your children, and regularly points their gun at you. They get away with this since they are the sheriff and all the cops are their friends. Say they one night call you and say "hey better be careful, I hear Shitavious and his posse are in town and are gonna rob you," why would you listen to anything he says, especially when you've seen him hanging around Shitavious before?

There is zero reason for Russia to trust anyone in the Biden regime. But there's certainly some reason to suspect the US is involved since the US has links with Caucasian jihadis, ISIS-K, and other Islamic terrorist movements who mostly target countries they hate like Iran, Taliban Afghanistan, and Russia. Say Russia actually listened and put enough armed guards out to arrest these guys. That would let these terrorists and their CIA handlers know they can pull strings in the Russian government and doesn't actually stop them from doing another shooting/bombing.

Unless the USA has a history of calling wolf to screw up with Russia then it's inexcusable to ignore the warnings.

Also I don't know if any zoomer poster here actually remembers the time when ISIS was considered a threat, but back then it was used as "AKTUALLY ONLY ISIS ARE REAL MUSLIM TERRORISTS" by Obama and his ilks to whitewash every other islamic terrorist organizations to create the idea ISIS is the outlier.

To be fair to Obama, at the time and even today, ISIS was considered extreme even among the other Haji terror cells, to the point even al-Qaeda is an open war with them and to the extent that even despite two years on the current Ukraine war, ISIS is like one of two things every country will find common ground on.

It's strangely noticeable how quiet and heavy the air feels this morning. It's rather similar to the next day after the 2022 war declaration; same heavy atmosphere of loss and uncertainty. The usual announcements and ads are mostly silent, the billboards are black with some having depictions of white cranes on black background. I'm quite sure it references this old song about reminicence for dead soldiers.

It's rather hard to get all thoughts together for some concise point. Certain people will still call out for more blood, but it gets to you less with each time. Maybe it's not a good thing.
I suppose, some things will change and some won't. Same as they always do.

Were they though? They were better at using social media and fighting in the autistic thunderdome that is Syria, but they didn't promote anything worse than the other terrorist organisations and as far as I'm aware didn't do shit like kidnap schoolgirls to be sex slaves like Boko Haram.

You can watch videos of Russian prisons where everyone inside has the equivalent of life without parole.

They outright say the intent of the prison is to break your spirit forever. If you 100% behave and follow every rule you get the privilege of working a monotonous factory job sewing or some other stupid thing for 12 hours a day. A single fuckup and its back in the hole for an indeterminate amount of time. If you do well for 20 years you can maybe earn a 2 day weekend in a small apartment with your visiting immediate family. At no other time are visitors allowed. Or mail. No contact with the outside world.

Then when you die they toss you in an unmarked grave in Siberia and refuse to tell the family where it's located.

The question Russia's intelligence would have to ask is why the US wouldn't be crying wolf, especially when they have links with Caucasian jihadis and ISIS-K (if not the entire remnant of ISIS by this point ever since Baghdadi's faction went rogue from their handlers and got destroyed).

There is zero reason for Russia to listen to anything the US says at this point because the US has taken every step possible short of nuclear war to destroy Russia and even sponsors conferences hosting some organization that wants to dissolve Russia into 40 countries. How is this hard to understand?

That doesn't sound a hell of a lot different than most people's lives, in or out of prison.

Latest on this from the twatter:

Russians are "interrogating" the attackers taken alive by electrocuting their testicles with 80v batteries.
The Journoscum are crying about the oppression of terrorists who massacred hundreds including little kids.

I see someone has a pic:

Apparently one of the guys is on video saying they were approached on a random telegram group and offered half a million rubles to do the shooting, provided with guns, paid half up front, and set loose.
This doesn't sound like ISIS.
This sounds like the Whitmer "Fednapping" pattern of FBI/CIA wind-up toys.
It's basically a step-by-step of how that went down in Michigan.

(sorry for RT, I couldn't remember where I saw the social media chain this came from)
