Cenk hosts TYT. Multiple shootings happened at Canada’s Parliament Hill this morning in Ottawa. Video of the firefight inside the building between authorities and the shooter is shown. Cenk dives into the subject of the legality of firearms in Canada vs. USA. Due to the restrictions they have, this helped limit the potential carnage the shooter could’ve caused. He also discusses whether or not this is terrorism. While fighting ISIS, we’ve decided to drop bundles of ammunition for the Kurdish fighters to use in the fight on the ground. The Pentagon confirmed that a couple of the bundles accidentally fell into the hands of ISIS. Video released by the media arm of ISIS shows them finding an ammo bundle. Politico ran an article that absolves BP of any wrongdoing in ruining the Gulf, written by the President of communications for…BP. Some of his assertions include claiming that the animals “feast” on the spill. In Arizona, a Latino man was caught on surveillance video delivering absentee ballots to a polling place. Conservative outlets jumped on this and called him a criminal thug for doing this very legal act. Some commenters responded by calling for his death. The 4 Blackwater fighters that killed over 30 Iraqi civilians in 2007 were found guilty today, to the shock and chagrin of their attorneys. For the range of charges, they face anywhere from 7 years, to life in prison. In Scott Brown’s debate for Senate seat of NH, he denied saying that ISIS is coming into America from the Mexican border. Video of his denial, and the videos of him actually linking ISIS fighters coming to America with the Mexican border. While President Obama was in Chicago to do early voting, he was ribbed by a constituent that told him to not touch his girlfriend. Pew Research Center released a study of who Libs and Cons trust the most and least in news. While Libs trust multiple sources, Conservatives ONLY trust Fox News. Only one source is trusted by both groups more than distrusted: The Wall St Journal. BuzzFeed is the least trusted name in news overall.

  1. I wish those grenade cannisters had those spring loaded “snakes” in them (the cans would have to be labeled “peanut brittle”).

    1. And semi-automatic weapons are perfectly legal in Canada, you just have a slightly stricter process to obtain one (which makes perfect sense, and I’d be all for adopting here in the states).

      Also, the 30-30 cartridge the shooter used is a much harder-hitting round than the .223 used in the AR15. I get Cenk’s outrage at the crazy gun crowd here in the states, but going just as crazy the other way doesn’t help the situation at all.

  3. That ballot box segment… sounded like something from the Onion. Like, I can imagine this onion article where a grandma says she had to sit next to a latino guy in a movie theater, and was stunned she survived the encounter. This was just that, but real.
