'Murdered' Russian journalist Arkady Babchenko turns up alive
A Russian journalist and critic of the Kremlin, reported to have been shot dead in Ukraine, showed up alive at a press conference on Wednesday to declare that his murder was faked by Ukrainian security services in an effort to foil an assassination plot against him.
In a stunning development, Arkady Babchenko, 41, walked into a room of journalists in Kiev who had been expecting to get an update on his murder.
He apologized to his wife Olechka -- who on Tuesday was reported to have found him bleeding to death at his apartment -- for the "hell" she had gone through. Ukrainian officials offered a jaw-dropping explanation for his so-called death -- to expose a Russian plot against him.
Script flipped.

The internet is full of useless crap, and it looks like you're the one who codes is. Congratulations for making my point for me. There is another part of the internet where real companies do real business - appears you're not aware of that part. If an explanation of why I know about Ukraine sounds like defensive bragging to you, if you place value on people's usernames on some forum - well you're one of the people I'm on here to make fun of. A nerd I am, a dork I am not. I do and always have worked for big companies - that's where the money is.

No idea what a "lawl" is, nor do I care. Is that that the sound you used to make after people like me stuffed you into a locker in highschool or perhaps you have your own little dork language normal people don't understand?

WTF is "Triggered?" Are you a social justice warrior hipster of some sort? Go back to reddit kid - you've stumbled onto a site for old people. When someone is shitting all over you and dissing you - they're not "triggered," they're making fun of you kid, and wanting to make fun of some loser like you, that's not a negative thing.
