AXE Attack on German Train

[Hooked]

He described himself as a christian in his own manifesto, so better you check your facts. He was a christian terrorist, wether you like it or not.

Wrong, Christians don't scream ala ackbar.

[XDurionX]

The problem with trying to tie down Breivik to a religion is that he both accepts and rejects that he is Christian alternately, like a lot of people he is perhaps best described as culturally Christian but not actually Christian.

In order to be a Christian terrorist, he would need to have committed his atrocity in the name of Christ, but he seems to have done it to promote his personal political agenda and used Crusader symbology for its anti-Islamic message rather than its pro-Christian image. However, as I said, he is incredibly contradictory.

He certainly is a contradictory scatterbrain, no doubt about that, but I'm quite sure that applies to some muslim perpetrators as well. Most victims of muslim terrorists are muslim themselves, so it isn't covered by jihad whatsoever.

Actually,I think an Arabic christian would/could.

Breivick didn't scream Allahu Akbar.

And every time some dumbass ignores the lessons we learn from Chicago it just drives home the necessity to keep emphasizing it. So thanks for ignoring the lessons, or being willfully ignorant because it'd conflict too much with your partisan street cred.

What lesson? That effective gun control in a single city with no magical barriers keeping the guns from the rest of the country out is difficult?

[Theinquisition]

Crazy.

Hopefully everyone is able to recover.

Any word on the guy who did it?

Just read that it was a Afgan "refugee"

Awesome, way to go Merkel

[lonely zergling]

There are already people whining that police shot him dead, lol.

"Refugees" are pretty high on the stack, cis white germans are not.

He was doing gods work. Figuratively or literally, depending on who you ask.

ARLM #Afganrefugeelivesmatter!!

That gun control efforts in a nation with a foundational principle such as the 2nd Amendment do more harm than guns on every citizen would, and since the 2nd Amendment isn’t ever going anywhere it’d be better to jettison these pipe dream Utopian urge delusions of gun free cities and zones and learn to function with them rather than head in the sand disarm and watch only criminals and the criminally minded bring them into the city and do harm with them.

Germany is completely different from Chicago, why even bother?
What reason do countries that have far lower gun crime rates than the U.S have to get rid of gun control?

[Independent voter]

Dajil, if you don't kill anybody and you don't die, are you still martyred?

[JohnBrown1917]

Damn, are Europeans in that much a rush to match or even exceed the US' crime/murder rates?
Slow down guys, it's not a race.

So I suppose this is the norm now in Europistan? Daily mass killings? I'm afraid what kind of warzone the EU would look like if it had access to firearms like the US.

Religion of Peace, y'all.

No rush here, still enjoying having only 1 mass shooting, since 1945, in which people died.

Whoops...no virgins for you sir.

[Deleted]

Terrible news, I just read about it.
I wonder why such an idiot would choose to do this.

Because of his medieval religion...

People have to defend themselves somehow, the police sure as shit aren't doing it for them when a guy can recreate Golden Axe level 2 on a fucking train.

Germans let 20 people be stabbed before the radical Muslim was stopped? No wonder Germany is well on its way to becoming an Islamic country in the future.

Yes. 20 people were stabbed with an axe. Absolutely.

His hatchet applied dots, not sure if no one dies yet.

[Runenwächter]

Folk wisdom doesnt say to rush the axeman, but to fear him.
An long hilt axe being wilded with even moderate skill but high aggression is fucking scary. It is scary in full mail with shield and arming sword and when you have unreduced mobility.
But on a moving train, unarmed and unprotected yourself with fuck all room to move feet and escape the axe's strike zone? Fighting doesnt seem appealing.

Nobody died in this attack, he would have caused more damage with a gun.
Again, gun crime is really low where i'm from, why would we risk increasing it?

4 people got injured, anybody with an axe could injure 4 people on a busy train. You expect a response of less than a minute? or what?
Even harder on a moving train.
