176 dead in Tehran plane crash

The UK ambassador to Iran was arrested during anti-government protests in Tehran after officials admitted shooting down a passenger plane.

Rob Macaire was held for three hours, in what the UK described as a "flagrant violation of international law".


It is understood he was attending a vigil for those who died in the crash, which turned into a protest.


He left to make his way back to the UK embassy, but was arrested as he stopped at a barber shop for a haircut.

Who the fuck attends, in their capacity as UK ambassador, a vigil for the dead/protest against the Iranian government in the middle of Tehran during a time of crisis and just randomly stops in for a haircut on the way back to the embassy? That's just weird, that is.

What is it with liberals bending over backwards to try to blame anyone other than Iran. How about asking what kind of country arrests people for getting a fucking haircut?

Oh, do be quiet. I wasn't blaming him, just making an observation that that's a bit of a random time to get a haircut.

Say, what is with conservatives being so obsessed with their pre-conceived ideas about liberals liking Americas enemies that they keep coming back to it, even in the most tenuously connected circumstances? Is it because you all have, like, 6 ideas between you?

In this part of the world it is not considered that weird.
