Strasbourg

[Hair Flick]

Probably not getting a high profile as the news is just breaking and the thread title just mentions a French city with no sensationalism. You might look at it and think it was asking for places to eat & drink.

Not saying that’s a good or bad thing, more an observation how this place works.

They'd have missed the shooting TBF, unless there's another one this weekend.

Imagine if I’d made a comment like yours. Imagine the pelters I’d get...

Never mind, as you were.

4 being reported dead now and 11 seriously wounded, looks like it was a terrorist attack.

Gunmen's still on the run apparently

You can give me pelters if you like. I'm not sure why you would mind.

If any stories emerge from the scene of a canny Muslim doing something nice (a taxi driver giving someone a free lift for example) - please post ASAP!

Must be in two minds to stop and search him

Only 8 replies? Have we just become so accustomed to these events that nobody gives a fuck and just accepts they are part and parcel of the times we live in?

Pretty much, same as another loon in the USA taking out a load of people, hardly raises an eyebrow nowadays

A journalist has reported seeing the police shoot someone dead.

Just heard a Sinn Fein MEP on 5 Live talk of the horror of being caught up in a terrorist attack in Strasbourg.

You couldn't make it up.

Are you saying Sinn Fein are all terrorists?

Supposedly was on a "watch list".

Selling fake Rolex!

Thing is when you have 1000s on watchlists how much can they actually be watched

 

[David M]

Apparently he was supposed to be arrested this morning but wasn't at the address the police raided.

 

[bonsai]

Shows the extent of the problem we have created.

Shooter known to security services...

I'm not sure that's a bad thing. The less publicity these events get the less likely they are to occur. They want the hype, the front pages and the fear; this is what they feed on.
