    Damn. Crazy guy starts shooting and throwing grenades in a public space, then blows his head off. Wasn't a sustained rampage like in Oslo, but a burst of violence that ended as quickly as it started. What a thing to witness.

    I predict we'll see the following responses within the next ten posts:
    1. Muslim!
    2. Impossible, guns are banned in Belgium.
    3. Fuck Europe.
    4. Wouldn't have happened if there were armed citizens.

    6. He did it because he was an angry white man, who hated immigrants.

    Nope, he was a Morrocan immigrant.

    He was involved in previous arrests for drugs and guns, and was wanted for questioning on a sexual abuse case.

    I'd say it more likely he did less damage if he there were armed civilians nearby. You can't keep guns out of the hands of criminals, period, and you can't count on the police to respond in time to save your family from being shot.

    Morroco has Christians and Jews as well, so........

    But hey, it must be because of religion, how could it not be! He's from that part of the world after all.

    I think we need to beat up a few gas station pakis in response. Dirty filth.

    Really? Some guy going into a crowd and throwing hand grenades isn't news?

    Then again, we can't all have the courage of hiding behind our keyboard and lobbing racial slurs.

    Thats a great idea if you live in a country where the populace has a built-in interest in guns. In a place like Belgium even the very few who would buy them would probably forget about them or just leave them at home anyway :shrug:

    While we're on murder...

    There was a murder here at the weekend, of a guy I know vaguely from playing against him in football. The papers all have a picture of him with me in the background. I'm famous!

    They still go armed with a particularly sweet toothrotable waffle. Trust me, I've seen in in a dark alley in Brussels. It's quite scary.
