gunsguy Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I can't help but think this story belongs in this thread: Multiple dead after shooting at Quebec City mosque, police say http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/quebec-city-mosque-gun-shots-1.3957686 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downzy Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 @gunsguy - It was a little buried so tough finding it, but moved your post about the terrorist attack in Quebec City to the thread on terrorist attacks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bucketfoot Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Sadly, this is the world we now live in and these sort of attacks basically can't be prevented. One nutter in a vehicle, how do you stop that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lio Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 So awful... Heading over there in a few days I guess I should consider myself lucky I'm not there now. You can't prevent such an attack, but it seems like Sweden might get military on the streets now too, just like we've been having for over a year now.

I guess the right-wing politics get a few % for free after this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alfierose Posted April 7, 2017 Author Share Posted April 7, 2017 It's horrible to read a headline like this and feel a resigned 'oh another one'. Nevertheless a terrible situation for those involved, injured or killed. I hope the casualties are minimal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jettesnel Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 (edited) From the hospital: 1 dead, 15 hurt and 9 of them is serious hurt. And from what I have understood, 3 died before they arrived to the hospital. Edit: total 4 dead. Edited April 7, 2017 by jettesnel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheapJon Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 It was an odd feeling getting a text from my brother saying he wasn't on "drottninggatan" and then getting on twitter to see what happened. Other than that, this doesn't affect me that much. Racists finds more reasons to hate and blames everybody and especially those who can not be blamed. Only caring about their own agenda and actually believe they're right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 It's just so scary that these attacks can't be stopped. You just never know where or when someone will do an attack and kill and hurt people. The world is not safe to live in anymore. All we can do is carry on with our lives and pray.

These are terrible atrocities, but it is important to remember that's there's many more things you're likely to be a victim of than a terrorist. Media sensationalism is as much for political purposes as it for the actual events themselves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but seeing those poor children suffering from that chemical attack was just horrible. How can we as humans just ignore it? I read not sure if it's true, more planes took off and dropped more chemical poisons again. I hope that's not true, but it's like they are telling the US and the world "fuck you", I'll do what I want anyway. Next time, maybe if the US bombs that big ass palace that Assad lives in he'll get the message. Also didn't Iraq dropped chemicals on Turkey too or maybe their troops. How much of this shit is out there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archtop Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I spent last week in Lyon, France. Living in the UK I was surprised by the military prescience within the city, not just at stations and airports. We walked through the Parc de la Tête d'Or, people were sitting on the grass enjoying the spring sunshine, we stopped at the swings so my youngest could play, suddenly 6 full armed soldiers were roaming through the kids playground. Whilst my kids freaked, I was utterly dismayed to see no one else batted an eyelid, an accepted part of their daily lives. I'm not stupid, I watch the news but I guess living unaffected in my safe little town, I felt immune to the violence going on else where, it was a small thing but really an eye opening moment to the kind of world we live in today.

dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Okay, US launched the "mother of all bombs" on Afganastan and supposedly killed up to 94 ISIS members that were like rats in the caves. What I want to know is who does the counting when something like this happens? I mean does ISIS come out and say you killed 94 of my people or is someone just guessing. If this bomb does what they say it did, very cool. I'm very impressed when the US comes up with another killing device. Also is anyone going to stop the maniac who rules North Korea. This weekend they are having a celebration and showing all their wonderful killing machines. I think the US war ships need to show some force to make this crazy bastard stop his shit. you know Hitler was a crazy killing bastard, but it seems as the years go by we keep getting more and more crazies heading up governments around the world. How can the free world deal with all this shit? I'm so sick of all the evil in the world. I think it's time for another plague or turning people into stone or something. If there is a God he is letting man get way out of hand right about now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
