Ana and Dennis Trainor join Cenk and Ben for SCS. Update on Boko Haram and their latest kidnapping of over 280 school girls. The U.S. has decided to aid Nigeria in finding the girls. KY police refuse to investigate the killing of a 19 year old girl at the hands of one of their police officers. A Montana man is up on murder charges after luring someone into his garage by leaving his wife’s purse there and waiting for someone to show up. Once a 17 year old Turkish exchange student from Germany showed up, the owner shot into the garage without warning, killing the kid. Meanwhile, a Minnesota man that brutally shot and killed a teenaged boy and girl in his basement once they broke into his house has been convicted of 2 counts of premeditated 1st degree murder. A small British study showed that 98% of men have shared a bed with another man. 93% admitted to spooning or cuddling with another man. The sample group was White, straight athletes. Some of the quotes from the respondents were so ridiculous that Ana questioned whether they were just trolling the researchers.

  1. I agree completely with Cenk about sending in the Special Forces to help with the situation with the kidnapped girls. We have these powerful instruments that can be used for good and bad, and we need to get back in to the habit of using them for good.

    This is an opportunity for someone’s most powerful image of America and American’s to be a helping hand pulling them away from unimaginable horrors, not an oppressive aggressor.

    I know that I may be a bad liberal for this sentiment, but I want us to possess a big hammer for those times that we need to bring that hammer down.

  2. Any chance we could get a better comment system here? Maybe one that is set up to notify you of responses and lets you moderate your own comments in some single location? Like a Disqus or the like?

  3. I think Cenk is sorta using “Seal Team 6” wrong, just because they’re the most famous recently. Other seals would operate a rescue operation. Seal Team 6 are assassins. There’s whole other teams that handle other types of jobs.
    Also I agree with Trainor, we can’t trust the military. We thought troops were going to go into Afghanistan, kill al quaeda guys, and leave. We were wrong.
