As the man was wheeled into an ambulance, he appeared conscious and was moving his arms, footage showed

I did. And this is what you find....

Lioness’ killing of the father of her offspring is ‘extremely rare,’ experts say

“There is not a case of this within recent memory where we’ve seen a lioness attack her mate,” an expert said.

Any other suggestions?

I looked for a perma-link. But didn’t see one.

Evidently NBC News just put the latest story on top. Then a new story comes along and bumps it down the page and totally changes the url.

How amateurish.

Weird. An intruder - dressed in a military uniform but obviously not miltary - was shot today in Mexico Cuty after he said he was bringing a package to the retired (conservative) Cardinal archbishop of Mexico City and then opened fire on the guard. Unfortunately the guard was killed, but the other guards shot the intruder, although I don’t think he’s dead, so maybe they can find where he came from and who was behind this.

I think any conservative, even a marginal one, anywhere else is going to be under full out attack now.

Before shooting the intruder shouldn’t someone have asked if he had a bad upbringing and had feelings about being forced by society to identify with the wrong gender?

Then shoot him.

I guess it is possible that sometimes when you go hunting for fox, you get the fox, and sometimes the fox gets you.

They didn't mention his ethnic background, did they?
