The Russians don't take no sh*t for very long. I like the way they handled this. Looks like not many innocent casualties.
Those scumbag Chechyn terrorists/murderers really showed thier true cowardice by taking school CHILDREN hostage. Those poor kids will be scarred for life. Let's hope they find the ones that escaped and kill 'em.
Russia needs to go back in and step down hard on Chechnya this time, sweep the country for all terrorists/murderers.

The Russians only stormed the school after the first terrorist bombs went off.

I heard the terrorists opened fire on rescue workers and when a small band of children tried to escape. then the russains had no choice but to retaliate.

I think they opened fire on the fleeing children and then the Russians retaliated. I could be wrong, my information is about 14 hrs. old.

Totals are now over 200 dead and 700 injured.

I can't believe extremities of this terrorist attack.

Emergency workers collect corpses outside of a school in Beslan, North Ossetia, Friday, Sept. 3, 2004. ITAR-Tass news agency quotes a prosecutor as saying 322 bodies have been pulled from school in southern Russia by Saturday. (AP Photo)

You read my mind.................

Major Fuckng Bullshit-

I guess we have a release valve with this, cause if I could do something about it I would.

Fuckn around with kids / innocents. I gots massive problems with that.

Pardon my language I guess.
Just look at that picture of that hard-ass Russian Special Forces soldier carrying that little kid who is hurt. You can see that he is affected by it quite abit. And those guys really are bad dudes IMO.

Fuck.

BBC really seemed to push the story that Russian Special forces are inept screwups. IMHO, getting 2/3 of the hostages out of the school and previously out of the Moscow theatre (similar situation) doesn't count as a screwup. Sure, things could be done differently, especially at the theatre in Moscow where they didn't tell the doctors what the gas was and how to counteract it. But I would sure as hell rather be a hostage in Russia knowing that I will have a 2/3 chance to live and my captors have a 100% of getting a bullet in the back of the head, as opposed to those poor Nepalese guys that executed in Iraq. No one was going to help them, no chance of rescue, no payback to their killers.

Affirmative to that

While the actual physical act of killing (aiming the gun and pulling the trigger) is roughly the same, it is a totally different situation. We play within the rules of war. One army against another. With A clear objective to obtain. These events in Russia are just premeditated cowardice/terroristic/murderous massacres against totally innocent and unarmed men, women and children. I can't even comprehend how these low-lifes justify any of these acts of barbarism.

On the other hand, if we were playing a multi-player version of say, "Postal 2", you may have a valid point.
