Re: Strasbourg shooting
It's a shock in Europe, not so much elsewhere.
Re: Strasbourg shooting
Mr Turtle.
I wasn't shocked in the least.
I was just saying to one of my co-workers that the Christmas markets are in full swing all over Europe, expect some terrorist attacks.
Which sand dune have you had your head buried in to be shocked by such activity in Europe???

Re: Strasbourg shooting
Mass shootings in Europe are pretty rare compared to the place where we usually hear of them, so yes it is pretty shocking when it happens. That doesn't mean it's shocking that it happens at all, they're inevitable given the nature of time and probability.

Rare? Perhaps. Shocking? Absolutely not. Just not the usual weapon of choice this side of the pond...

It’s also at least 30 posts down due to not being in America and spijed probably won’t bring his whataboutery to this as he only cares when it’s caused by the nra. Apparently if these guns are illegal it wouldn’t happen, who knew they were allowed in Strasbourg.
Sadly more people have lost their lives due to a coward.

Re: Strasbourg shooting
Usually these shootings happen when a country wants to deflect the media away from other matters,now has there been anything going on in France mmmm let me think ??
Re: Strasbourg shooting
All the gunman has to do is lose his gun,get to a channel port, find a people smuggler get to the UK and Corbyn and his disciples will welcome them with open arms as desperate people looking for a better life, improve our culture etc. Why even JK Rowling might put him up in one of her twenty bedtlrooms.

Defective investigation and obstruction of justice
On 17 May 2017 the Interior Ministry of Berlin stated that already in November 2016 intelligence was given that Anis Amri was involved in criminal offenses concerning drug trafficking. On this basis authorities would have been able to apprehend Amri already at the time, however they did not.An investigation was launched trying to find out to what extent these informations were withheld by the State Criminal Police Office of Berlin after the attack happened.[110] Several days later, while the investigation for obstruction of justice was still going on, a speaker of the Interior Ministry said that manipulations of the file of Amri have been carried out by officers of the criminal investigation department after the attack.[111] On 22 May 2017 a commission of inquiry was initiated starting in July. Meanwhile, a special prosecuter was appointed to the case.[112] In addition to the ongoing investigation concerning manipulations of the file and withholding of information, national TV reported on 1 June, that officers who were ordered by an investigating judge in Berlin to observe Amri until October 2016 for criminal offenses and possible terrorist links did not do so and instead included untrue records regarding observating actions in his file.[113]

Re: Strasbourg shooting
I have to say that I hope these things aren’t becoming ‘the norm’. I think this is one of those fortuitous occasions where my desire and reality intersect.
The feel of this is far different to the near ubiquitous nature of Mass Shootings in the United States. These still illicit shock and anger in the populace, rather than resignation and recriminations.

Re: Strasbourg shooting
I don't think these things are becoming the "norm", but I do think that everyone that happens reinforces the idea that there are only two ways to deal with this.
- You accept restrictions to your civil liberties
- or you accept that your civil liberties will result to stuff like this happening

Re: Strasbourg shooting
I think it's always been accepted that the more civil liberties we enjoy the more likely acts like this will happen. But we're prepared to give up some of our liberties for a little safety when it comes to traffic lights and seat belts. But the problem is that some people are trying to convince us that we need to give up even more liberties, and they're using the fear of the boogieman to manipulate us into doing it.
Freedom and democracy is in decline and it's not because of terrorism, it's because of our own weak minds and willingness to allow demagogues and authoritarians to manipulate us into giving them more power over all of us because we think it will protect us from a tiny fraction of us.

I guess we're talking about two different things. Mass shootings are clearly not the norm nor are they becoming the norm.
However i would argue that terror attacks aren't becoming the norm either, since if this rate of terrorism is a sign of it being normalised then what the hell was the 70s, 80s and 90s when terrorism was a far bigger threat?

Only Corbyn, who called what the IRA did "terrorism", can be accused of saying the IRA aren't terrorists.
It's as if the truth just isn't relevant to you when it comes to your opinions.
