From the reports on BBC News 24 and Sky News, martial law was enacted in the “blight” (their words – not mine) of the tragedy.

I don’t watch or follow the news be it on TV or online, unless I feel the need. Why?… Because I can only take so much shit and suffering before I become immune. I take little sips every now and then, that helps to keep it right there, where it should be.
