      ‘Obviously’ a “lone wolf” attack(s) by a “mentally disturbed” person.

        We all know Donald Trump is the one responsable anyway (sarcasm).

          Still you have to wonder if the Netherlands has had enough Islamic multicultural enrichment yet. So many politicians and soft-hearted media pundits have encouraged it for so long.

          I had an aunt in Amsterdam who used to feed the ducks in the canal but she couldn’t a few years ago because the migrants had caught and eaten all of the ducks. On an aside I believe that Israel very soon will be the only semi free state where you can express your opinion.

        “Lone” wolves often end up being KNOWN wolves, but action was not taken against them preemptively.

          He was known, all right–Dutch authorities knew he had links to the Islamic State, but released him anyway.

    In the wake of Islamist terror in Utrecht, German police are also on the alert+++
    The North Rhine-Westphalian police carry out checks at the border with the Netherlands and other neuralgic points. Ongoing information is provided by the Essen police via press releases and Twitter at: https://twitter.com/Polizei_NRW_E

    Obviously revenge for Christchurch, which itself was revenge for all the recent muslim atrocities to date, but why in Utrecht in the nice, compliant Netherlands? By the way, something grates whenever I hear the mention of ‘mosques’ in a place called ‘Christchurch’.

    • gravenimage says

      Actually, this thug already had links to the Islamic State, so he had probably been planning this attack for some time.

    Better kill this news like they did with the 100+ Christians gunned down in Nigeria. It might induce someone to think a non-PC thought. Facts are an Islamophobic conspiracy, abolish them!

    Well Robert… I will confidently put my money in the same place you have put yours.

    The West needs more than a genteel prison term ( = slap on the wrist) for the exponentially increasing terrorist killings…

    I’ll also put money on more terrorist mayhem to follow the Utrecht attack.

    Not long after the horror in NZ, I was approaching home and was riding uphill on a scooter towards the crest of a(n overhead) bridge when someone in a large 4 x 4 vehicle approaching me head-on, crossed the solid centre-line and headed straight for me, then he veered away and came at me a 2nd time.
    There’s no way this was accidental.
    It got my adrenalin going. I veered as close to the pavement as I could and yelled at him. As he passed by, I knew what community he represented. I’d stake my bottom dollar his actions were a vengeful reaction to the right-wing extremist horror in NZ. I believe there’s an outside chance I could be wrong… but I doubt it. My condolences to all those who lost loved ones in New Zealand.

    Doubtless there is more to come following
    on from the Utrecht shootings…

    Western leaders could have done a so much to avoid the situation we’re in now, had they had the courage/honesty/spine to deal with the reality they find themselves in now.

    Now, I tend to think we’re in too deep —
    we’re in it for the long haul… All of these so-called leaders won’t be exempt from the consequences that lie ahead… How will they react when truth comes knocking at +their+ respective doors… ?

      Regarding:

      “Doubtless there is more to come following on from the Utrecht shootings…”

      Many of these Jihad actions are used to test the system weaknesses and its response.
      So, yeah, aside from these perps being manipulated to think they are martyrs for a cause,
      the tragic and deadly actions they carry out are useful for Jihadist analysts, to plot and plan
      more….for future Jihad….

      Speaking of which, Walid Phare’s book is excellent reading: “Future Jihad: Terrorist Strategies Against America”

      ———————-

      “Killology” author Dave Grossman prefers using the word “massacre” rather than “shooting” since the latter obtains a poor connotation, whereas massacre describes what has occurred. Hey, the Lt Col is pro-NRA.
      So, maybe he is correct about language use in this case?

      Books:
      “On Killing: The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society” (1995) , an analysis of the psychology of killing both in the military and in civilian society, which he calls killology.

      “Stop Teaching Our Kids to Kill: A Call to Action Against TV, Movie and Video Game Violence” (1999)

    Turk with loaded firearm and forged identity card on the road in Cologne, Germany+++
    Last Friday evening, Cologne police arrested a 48-year-old Turk in the district of Höhenberg after a traffic check. The officers had found the man with a loaded firearm and a forged Luxembourg passport. According to the current state of investigation, he had opened an account with a German bank with these fake personal details. A magistrate sent the suspect, who is suspected of being in Germany illegally, to custody. Around 10.45 p.m. the officers of the riot police on Fuldaer Street stopped a 30-year-old man from Bonn with his Mercedes SL55 AMG.The 48-year-old sat in the co-driver’s seat, proved himself with a Turkish passport and admitted to carrying a pistol in a leg holster. The police disarmed the man and took him to the station. Meanwhile, specialists checked his companion’s sports car. The wheels are not approved for the car and can have a negative effect on the driving and braking behaviour of the vehicle. The officers seized the allegedly traffic-insecure Mercedes and instituted administrative offence proceedings against the 30-year-old. The policemen were originally deployed in a special mission to fight biker crime. According to current information, the 30-year-old and the 48-year-old have no connections to the biker milieu.

    Someone told me that Italy is now on the US Emassy’s travel ban list. If so, I wonder why.
    Perhaps Imam Francis could explain. In all my days, I never thought it would come to this. Shame, shame, shame!!
