They know the substance that killed Kim Jong-nam

Quote:
In a brief statement, Khalid Abu Bakar, the national police chief, said the substance was listed as a chemical weapon under the Chemical Weapons Conventions of 1997 and 2005, to which North Korea is not a party.

VX nerve agent can be delivered in two compounds that are mixed at the last moment to create a lethal dose. The police say that two women approached Mr. Kim at the airport with the poison on their hands and rubbed it on his face one after the other.

I don't like this idea. I would rather just see rioters locked up and charged as they were in DC. Rioters and looters are scum. Protesters should loathe them. There is a lot of difference between a peaceful protest and the destruction of public or private property. Flood the zone of looters and rioters with armored vehicles not set up to kill people but to to record their actions for prosecution.

The UK used traffic cameras, surveillance cameras and news feeds to identify rioters/looters and punished them severely. A few were kids who got caught up in crowd exuberance but they got sentences just as severe as the worst of the rioters.

Anybody see the screw up at the end of the
Oscars when elderly Warren Beatty and elderly
Fay Dunaway gave the wrong picture the
award? The pic that really won was Moonlight,
a movie about blacks made by blacks. Now
all conspiracy nuts are out there, Black Lives
Don't Matter is screaming foul, it's all really
wonderful. Some are even blaming Trump
and the Russians. lol

The Biggest Loser host and personal trainer Bob Harper is recovering from a heart attack, People reported today. The fitness celeb reportedly collapsed two weeks ago while working out at the gym, and was unconscious for two days. He was recently released from the hospital after an eight-day stay.

But Harper, 51, is hardly your typical heart attack victim: He’s relatively young, he’s super-fit, and he’s built his career on getting people healthy. Although the specifics of his experience haven’t been shared, we do know one thing: It’s an important reminder that even people with no obvious risk factors can still have underlying heart disease or problems.

Wouldn't the second woman also have been lethally dosed as soon as the half of the mix on her hands contacted the half left by the first woman?

Somethings not adding up.

A lethal dose depends very largely on the dose (no, really!)

So either whatever trace the second assassin took up wasn't enough for a lethal dose, or there's a dead North Korean assassin somewhere in Malaysia.

Or maybe they both wore gloves. It's very hard to poison someone through a glove, even with VX.

A couple things. They immediately washed their hands afterward (it's claimed). And the face has a couple of better quick absorption points. Mucous membranes. Also inhaling is going to put you at greater risk also.

And he did take an hour or more to die.
