    Last five days - French mother and daughters stabbed, axe attack, RAF attempted kidnapping and now this.

    I suppose with ISIS controlled territory being slowly taken back in Iraq by Iraq army with US support and in Syria by Syrian army with Russian support and now getting to the stage where complete overrun of Isis in Iraq and Syria is inevitable, it was fairly likely that this sort of Gotterdamerung strategy would ensure.
    Hmmm could it letting in millions of people in to Europe UNCHECKED was a security threat. * innocent face*.

    Mr. Nunu, that and Mr. Bedfordshire's post are not mutually exclusive.

    Skip the hashtag and the Facebook post and that's what we've been doing since the birth of modern terrorism. They attack and we carry on.

    SKY - Germany a big target for terrorism as they are so tolerant........

    I was perplexed by that one, I must admit.
    They want to erode tolerance, they want war between Islam and the rest of world

    Europe is being run lunatics.


    No, western civilization has now got flabby and bloated and lazy like Rome did before them and no longer has the resoluteness to defend itself. Compare and contrast just two hundred years ago when the UK government would have thought nothing of sending the army in to mow down rioters with gunfire to restore order.

    The next stage is reactionary dictators alas...cough.... Trump...cough

    Sky just said this started in fast food outlet in the mall

    2nd shooting apparently now confirmed

    Mr. Bedfordshire, the enervation of Roman virtues during a time of peace and plenty is a very apt comparison for modern Europe.

    Took centuries for the Western Empire to fall (but it would've been decades without Aurelian, probably). The East, however, lasted a thousand years longer.

    They could be homegrown. Let's just wait for developments.

    The hot-heads want war but the moderates want victory and are therefore the more dangerous.

    Evening all,

    Such are the times we live in I wasn't shocked to turn on my television or go on social media to hear of what looks like another terrorist act. Sounds like still an active ongoing situation with the unconfirmed reports of another shooting.

    Pains me to say it but we are well overdue an attack.
  • This seems to be the start - outside McDonalds.

    It is not through lack of trying though is it

    Confirmed deaths now 3 - Bavarian state authorities

    Mr. Floater, a third potential site of attack?

    Let's hope the police can get them quickly.

    True they have foiled several since 7/7. Hate to be pessimistic but you can't stop them all.

    So the reports about it being all over 30 minutes ago were nonsense.

    It must be so difficult to run an operation in this era. The Opsec issues are a nightmare.

    Only just. It could easily have been swept away by the early Muslim conquests, which cost it considerable land as it was.

    Attacks are not like earthquakes. The quality and scale of the security forces do make a difference, though obviously they can't stop everything.

    So much for predictions of Cleveland violence. One guy set fire to US flag. Police only intervened when his pants caught fire.
