• your own picture shows 16°C and the days in question had 13-15°C in the morning and evening.

    If you sit idle without clothes for hours even in 17°C you will get cold as fuck. If it would have been 5°C this could have caused serious medical issues. If it would have been freezing, some of them could have reached life threatening hypothermia.

    The term is perfectly viable in the context.

      your own picture shows 16°C

      No, it shows 21⁰C. Why are you looking at the minimum temperature? That is totally irrelevant.

      You can see from the photo that it is the middle of a winter’s day (sun is slightly lowered in the sky in winter at midday, not directly overhead).

      On Thursday, a video emerged of men rounded up, forced to stand in formation, and then to sit down in the street

      So let’s get even more accurate. That particular Thursday it was 22⁰C in the shade. Perfect temperature to be sitting out in the sun comfortably as it happens.

      Thursday 7th December Data

      There were dreadful bombings earlier and yet you want us to focus on this non-story.

      If it would have been 5°C this could ave caused serious medical issues. it would have been freezing, some of them could have reached life threatening hypothermia.

      If it would have been hailing they could have been knocked unconscious.

      If there was a hurricane they could have been dashed against the concrete walls.

      If there was a meteorite they could have been pulverised.

      If they didn’t have dicks they could have been women.

      If they were 5 years old they would have been children.

      If they had long necks and four legs they could have been giraffes.
