UConn4523 : 7/22/2016 1:44 pm : link
this shit needs to stop, its unreal. RIP to the victims.

Was face-timing with my sister yesterday. Left Nice for Amsterdam that morning of the truck massacre and is leaving Amsterdam for Germany this weekend I believe. I can't imaging going country to country, city to city on what's supposed to be a trip of a lifetime, while also dodging senseless attacks. Fucking nuts.

We've always lived in a world where one could fuck it up for thousands. But now these asshole individuals do it with no remorse.

This is a deep issue about humanity at its core, not simply politics or religion. Weird times.

Privacy vs. Safety. That's THE issue in the world for us 1st world assholes. I can't even imagine the "microcameras everywhere including toilets" world I'm gonna be living in 20 years. That's gonna suck. But these dumbasses who are doing this are speeding up that process.

on a side and more lighthearted note (kind of), check out Black Mirror on Netflix. It speaks to the point you made about 20 years from now, and after watching a couple episodes it really makes you think about the realities of tech/security in the not too distant future.
Just insane!  
old man : 7/22/2016 1:57 pm : link
But this is what terrorism does; creates an atmosphere of fear. Enough fear creates people 'frozen' at home; which creates jobs lost; which produces economic collapse, destroys countries; terrorists 'win' without significant further violence.
RIP to all who will be found murdered; pray for healing for the wounded and families of all.
And on a less sensitive note: Is OBJ out of Germany yet? Giants gotta get him back home. And Cruz also from, France?
shootings in Europe  
Hilary : 7/22/2016 2:06 pm : link
The EU has been at best(from my point of view) neurtral, but really actually pro Palestinian.The EU has certainly not been against the Palestinian movement so what really is the purpose of all of these shootings in Europe.What are the perpetrators trying to achieve?Crazy people being crazy.

Hard to think that bringing these people here is really a good idea.
Huh??  
FatMan in Charlotte : 7/22/2016 2:08 pm : link
The shootings aren't related to the Jewish/Palestine conflict. They are related to terror and ISIS trying to spread fear.

Let's not rush to judgement. I'm sure this is just an isolated incident of a lone wolf attack. In the mean time, let's all queue our prayers for the victims and their families and prepare to whistle past the graveyard of the religion of peace.

Given what's going on, does it seem likely that it's jihad-related? Yes, but people do commit mass murder for other reasons. The news vultures will have the story soon, no need to assume anything.

Why? The result is the same and every attack from Isis is another wake up call that they need to be eradicated. Does it really make a difference to the victims and their families if it was some sick fuck who lost his job and is pissed off or a sick fuck that's part of Isis?

This isn't a humorous subject, obviously, but I can't help but think of My Cousin Vinny after reading this...

The perpetrators are still at large. I wonder how that could be claimed. Perhaps a witness heard the shooters shouting "We are lone-wolf, atheists supporters of Burger King."

One thing I will say that might be met with some flack  
pjcas18 : 7/22/2016 4:09 pm : link
is while we all await word of the shooter like sadly a lot of people are focusing on, they want to know the shooter's religion, ethnicity, race, and most importantly the motive, if I were a Muslim right now I'd just be praying, "please don't be a Muslim". Just be a regular old nut job whose religion is irrelevant. At least that's how I view it, maybe they're not.

I remember after the Oklahoma City bombing, Chris Rock had either an SNL or just a normal comedy special and he opened with some words about OKC and he said "thank god it wasn't a black man" and I thought at first it was kind of cold and insensitive to the families of the victims, but I know what he meant. With OJ just happening, Rodney King not long ago, etc. the blowback would have been worse if it had been a black man/group.

I think right now Muslims, for the most part, are probably feeling the same way.

anyway as everyone speculates on the shooters and motives without any facts yet (all I have heard so far is it's a "terror attack'), just thought I'd add that useless post.

Yet, many Muslims apparently do not feel that way, and always claim the perpetrators of these attacks are "not true Muslims."

This is said about Muslims by Muslims all the time. Only when one criticizes Islamic doctrine do they suddenly become "1.6 billion" that are being accused of being terrorists, bad, etc.

There is a pretty obvious pattern of protecting the beliefs and ring-fencing responsibility, which has let to where we are now.

Not sure where these reports of it not being Islamic-related are coming from, but based on eye-witness interviews on CNN (aside from the the likelihood of it not being Islamic-inspired to begin with) is about as close to "zero" without being actually

My comment stands alone and speaks for itself. Not only was it not intended to accomplish anything, if there is anything I am the world I am supremely confident of, it is that my comment will accomplish nothing.

Just like the rest of us in this thread, I am pissing in the wind. If nothing else, I gained personal satisfaction from my post. That in an of itself was worth it and will have to remain my only solace.

I'm sorry if you are offended, irritated, disturbed or dismayed. The good news is, that if and when this all comes to an end, we can all get back to football. I'll personally start carving the face of the guy (or gal) that makes this stop right in the side of fucking Mt. Rushmore.
