Did you see

News was explaining how the tank column had dispersed into neighborhoods and was using civilian neighborhoods for cover. They showed a video of a tank sitting in some yard. There was a civilian walking along the street on the far side, not threatening in any way, just walking along the street. They blew him away. One single guy, doing nothing.

No wonder the Russians are having logistics problems. Not only is that a war crime, but, excuse me for observing, what a waste of the shell.

This has been a bad day. Putin, we are going to get you for this.

The person appeared to be obliterated. No one could have survived it.

The Russian soldiers had to have been ordered to act like psychopaths. Who could do this...

access to anything anywhere ever again.

He will be considered a war criminal, he wont be able to spend the 800 or so billion he has stolen from his people, and then he will have NOTHING TO LOSE and then he will use nukes.

Like all right wing authoritarians he didn’t think this through. Trump thought he was massing troops to negotiate. What a stupid thing to say you don’t put 100,000 troops on the border of a country you’re in conflict with because you wanna talk

11. The world will never allow him to be anything but a war criminal from now on.

This will end in massive violence, for sure. The only question is will someone around him arrest him and stop it, otherwise we may be in the end times.

I saw one where a man was walking down the sidewalk and a bomb went off a short distance ahead of him.
He was able to turn around and walk off.

From Inside Edition:



Maybe the shell didn't hit him directly. Could he have survived the concussion? There is no shot of him walking away. Is this the one you saw? At approximately the half way mark.
