Indeed, same. yeah like mentioned below your post, it's an assumption based on police saying that all public transport is running again: so technically no confirmation but it does look that way? | ||

All busses and trains are driving everywhere again. Must be signal that either the got them, they are dead or they know they are left somewhere far far away. I say from this, it is over and we get all known facts from the conference. | ||

They found one guy who shot himself. And they think that the guy worked alone. My thinking: If it is the guy from the youtube video, classic amok idiot. | ||

This isn't the first time that people are attacking democracy in Western Europe and it isn't going to be the last time. There's only so much you can do in a liberal democracy. The reaction can't be to build a police or surveillance state or buy into the ridiculous race war rhetoric. Of course it's the government's job to protect the citizens, but it's also everybody's job (including the media) to accept the limits of how much safety is possible in a liberal society. | ||

Its actually very possible for those societies to be very safe. You'll have to abolish "multiculturism" first tho (at least to a degree). | ||

Last time there was terrorism and massacres all across Europe all the time the Warsaw Pact was around. That put a certain limit on politics, you always had to consider if we do this what consequences might happen with regards to Washington and Moscow (French in particular always hated this constraint). Today there are fewer reasons for people to not go in an extreme direction which is scary. | ||

If there is a sudden epidemic of these attack then any reasonable person would ask himself what is the cause of the epidemic. And i think that we can all agree that there is a disproportionate number of these attacks in the past few years compared to before. Sure, you can view all of these attacks as isolated cases and make yourself blind to the big picture however that does not change the fact that Europe is facing a serious threat posed by people (sane/insane) radicalized by islamic values. Bringing them in by millions alsd didnt't help the problem. | ||

If anything, and even that is pure speculation, it would appear this was done by a deranged follower of Breivik. | ||

I'd say my country is quite multicultural, especially in the high density cities, but I can't recall Canada having news of terrorist attacks or major threats since like the attempted bombing of the CN Tower. Of course my country has the luck of being isolated from the refugee crisis and can afford to be a lot more selective and screen for threats, but I think it's also done a good job of integrating them into a national identity as well. Multiculturalism doesn't have to be a failure, but the way Europe conducts it clearly has mistakes or flaws which need to be answered. | ||

You can't abolish multiculturalism without ethnic cleansings or mass deportations. Even if you assume multicultarism is evil, you still have to admit it's an evil lesser than these two. | ||
