A statue of the Virgin Mary is weeping in a Sri Lankan church. Yeah. I don't believe it.

Official: Most Sri Lanka bombers were highly educated (from @AP) https://apnews.com/b03a953e04d947a2bb515f8d47d19310

Many of the suicide bombers who killed more than 350 people in a series of coordinated Easter Sunday attacks in Sri Lanka were highly educated and came from well-off families, the junior defense minister said Wednesday.

The bombers were breakaway members of a pair of obscure extremist Muslim groups, he said. Officials had earlier blamed one extremist group for the bombings, though they say the attackers may have had support from foreign militants.

“Their thinking is that Islam can be the only religion in this country,” Ruwan Wijewardene told reporters. “They are quite well-educated people,” he said, adding that at least one had a law degree and some may have studied in the UK and Australia.

I wonder if Sri Lanka will play a no endgame tit for tat with them or clean house like Myanmar did.

Let's hope they're not as retarded as Myanmar or Trump.

Spoiled rich brats going radical is nothing new. There's only so many ways to really disappoint and bring shame to your well-to-do parents.

I drove to California from NJ and my mechanic after checking my car out for the trip told me that whatever I do, drive the f*cking speed limit in Texas with out of state plates unless I want to know what jail tacos taste like. I listened.

Only time I spent a night in jail was over an unpaid traffic violation. Ticket happened in a town I figured to never be in again so I blew it off. Bout 5 years later got pulled over for speeding and next thing I know I'm being handcuffed for an 'outstanding warrant'. Sleepy enough town that it made the paper the next day.

$25 ticket ended up costing me about 5 times as much.
