Attacking those of the Jewish faith for the crimes of the Government of Israel is as wrong as the Government of Israel treating all Palestinian citizens as if they were members of Hamas. #TwoAssholesDontMakeTheCauseRighteous #Manchester #Antisemitism

Just a reminder that #pdf is an incredible bad choice for storing important documents in the web.

#manchester #kritis

The guide from UK Police about securing against terrorist attacks was published as pdf. 
There was a new version.
Now best search results show the old pdf with a huge red "WITHDRAWN" about each page.

[update]
Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham has told BBC Radio Manchester that “it is believed” that the attacker is dead.
However, he says this “is not confirmed” yet.

„Police were called to the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue, on Middleton Road, Crumpsall, at 9.31am by a member of the public, stating he had witnessed a car being driven towards members of the public, and one man had been stabbed.

GMP declared PLATO and a major incident at 9.37am. Shots were fired by Greater Manchester Police firearms officers at 9.38am. One man has been shot, believed to be the offender.

Paramedics arrived at the scene at 9.41am and are tending to members of the public, currently four members of the public with injuries caused by both the vehicle and stab wounds.

Members of the public are asked to avoid the area while the police continue to deal with the incident.“

My ebooks and audiobooks (from Tor Books, Head of Zeus, McSweeneys, Beacon, Verso and others) are for sale all over the net, but I sell 'em too, and when you buy 'em from me, I earn twice as much and you get books with no DRM and no license "agreements."
