...and “knew he wouldn’t do anything to her”? He doesn’t know Muslims very well, does he?

A gun would have been good.

I guess I’m trying to understand why he felt so sure the assailant wouldn’t do anything to the granddaughter? Why not?
Obviously he was first on his hit list, but there’s nothing in the koran that spares infidels regardless of gender or age.
I think he needs to hire an armed bodyguard and keep the house well equipped with needed firepower and take out this dirtbag and any others like him the second they darken his doorstep. Send him to allah, that’s where he wants to go, oblige him. You’ll get a combined sense of justice and relief, with a smidgeon of joy knowing he won’t kill any other innocent infidels.

He smashed a police car window with the axe and was shot in the hand and a knee when he threw the axe at an officer.

Poor marksmanship on the part of the Danish police?

He did not have time to collect the child from the living room before locking himself into a “panic room”, a specially fortified bathroom.

What a coward.

I have a panic room. Actually I have 6 of them, each is about 44 one hundredths of an inch across and about 2 inches in length.

That may sound small but you wouldn't think so if you were looking down the front doorway.

This happens when people are conditioned to expect all protection to come from government!

He had his bathroom set up as a secure room, but he left his granddaughter in the livingroom?

“Hire an armed bodyguard”? Why, can’t he handle a shotgun by himself?

I’m pretty sure they’ll get him next time. Maybe the media can give out his daily schedule and house floor plan.
