Also a very american reaction..... overreaction!

 

Christ, teenagers don't always grasp the historical significance of the places they visit. Nonetheless she has made the effort to visit it and seems to have enjoyed it. Not like she's mocked any of the poor feckers that were locked up there.

 

If you are going to make something a tourist attraction then you had better prepare yourself for people actually enjoying their experience.

I suppose out of respect ! The same as I wouldn't at ground zero in New York . It might be a tourist place but it's for those who want to pay their respects .

Hmmm caught smiling in a photo is one thing, or even smiling for the camera. . But to take a 'selfie' like that, chambers either side of her. . distasteful to say the least for me. . Yes it is a tourist destination, but so is Disney land Paris. . You'd expect different folk to visit different destinations for different reasons. . Her actions weren't fitting for such a place IMO, regardless of who was murdered there.

Would it be acceptable to take a smiling selfie at Bannockburn say or Hastings? How much time has to go by before it becomes acceptable? I guess this is a personal judgement but for me what she has done is fine but I'd also like to think she went there for the right reasons.

Personally I wouldn't want to go anywhere near one of the old concentration camps, still less take selfies or any sort of photo of them. Whilst it is good that we are reminded of the holocaust, I see Auschwitz as a cemetary, somewhere to be held sadly sacred. It should be off limits to the morbidly curious, and anyone who doesn't have a personal interest (dead relatives etc).

 

I visited Pompeii as a child and was struck by the eerie quality of the remains of a society and thousands of lives brought to a horrific halt ... and that tragedy happened hundreds of years ago, and wasn't man-made either. I find it hard to reconcile the idea of modern tourism with somewhere like Auschwitz. Wanting to see where thousands of people were starved or tortured to death seems a bit perverted IMO.

She could have at least took the selfie outside the camp brothel or camp swimming pool. Probably gone viral because Jews worldwide are under pressure with how they are killing children in gaza and need a new fix of sympathy thrown their way. I'm sure Spielberg could write a nice factually inaccurate poor Jew film about this hateful selfie and make us all feel bad.

With 1.5 million tourists per year its a bit unrealistic to expect every single one of them to walk around with a long face !.....Only for the modern internet age we are in do we even get to see a picture like this but i very much doubt its anything new.

      Stornoway Airport has obtained a court order against Melbost and Brahanhuie crofters who accused the airfield operator of “squatting” on their land.
       
      The crofters legally control the the airfield site following the outcome of a recent Scottish Land Court decision which declared the land was never taken out of crofting tenure when their forebearers allowed it to be used as a military base during WW2.
       
      That means Hial do not own the airport while adjacent villages actually hold the rights.
       
      However, the company Hial, is appealing that decision at the Court of Session.
       
      The situation was inflamed over the past few days when the grazings committee wrote to the airport and other businesses sited on the land, advising them they were “squatting.”
       
      They requested proposals to “regularise your organisation’s position and to remove your organisation from the category of sqatter.”
       
      Antagonised by the move, Hial today obtained an interim interdict from Lord Armstrong at the Court of Session in Edinburgh.
       
      The court order prevents the grazing committee taking any action to interfere with the occupation of land by tenants at Stornoway Airport or do anything which might risk the safe operation of Stornoway Airport.
       
      Crofters previously urged Hial to meet with them to discuss how the airport can continue to run alongside crofting activity.
       
      Inglis Lyon, Hial managing director said: “We are disappointed that the actions of the Melbost and Brahanhuie grazings committee have required us to seek an interim interdict.
       
      “We have said all along that our intention in developing this land has always been to facilitate the creation of affordable, high-quality homes that would benefit local people.
       
      “Our priority at Hial is to maintain safety and airport operations and the order issued today preserves the status quo until the appeal is heard.”
       
      According to Mr Lyon, Hial has sought to “engage constructively with the grazings committee and has offered to meet with all involved to arrive at a mutually agreeable solution.
       
      “Whilst, to date, this offer has not been accepted, it nonetheless remains open.”

      Saturday 27th an armed man attempted entry to a synagogue outside of San Diego, California. According to eyewitnesses he was armed with an "AR style assault rifle" and 3 people have been injured and one has been confirmed dead.
      AR15's are illegal in California. The shooter was engaged by the synagogue's armed security which in this case was an off duty border patrol agent. The shooter fled the scene and gave himself up to LE.
      The narrative of this story began as one of gun control but has quickly shifted to that of a hate crime now that more details have come to light. The article is from CNN but pretty factual with what's known at this time. The shooter has broken numerous laws and the bad guy with the gun was stopped by a good guy with a gun.

      It's official. American socialist icon Bernie Sanders has officially declared that he's running for commander in chief in 2020. He's raised around $5.9 million from more than 220,000 donors in the first 24 hours, which has trumped even the Donald at this point. Many of those donors are set up for recurring donations that are set to net $600,000 a month.
      Last time around there were allegations of hamstringing as despite Bernie's popularity with the American electorate as he conceded to Hillary Clinton despiting winning many of the primaries by a large margin. Looking at Hillary's disasterous performance in 2016 it'll be interesting to see whether Sanders remains an independent candidate or goes full Democrat as the group whittles itself down to a frontrunner.
