Several Injured in Stabbing Rampage in Tunnels Beneath EU Headquarters
Breitbart ^ | 31 Jan 2023 | OLIVER JJ LANE

Posted on 01/31/2023 8:03:24 AM PST by Red Badger

A man was arrested at gunpoint at Schuman station, a subway stop in Brussels beneath the headquarters of the European Commission, after a stabbing rampage on a train.

A lone knifeman who attacked several people on a train and then on a platform was arrested after his rush-hour attack Monday evening, the Brussels Times reports. The magazine reported that one victim of the rampage was injured “severely” and “several others” sustained minor cuts.

The Associated Press reported that there were three injured in total during the attack.

Given the present situation in Europe, there has been some question over whether the motivation of the attack was terrorism. The AP cites a Brussels prosecutor who said initial indications were “there were no indications of terrorism”. The BT likewise indicates the arrested suspect is not on any terror watchlist, and therefore a terror motive can “likely be ruled out”, although this is not a guaranteed indicator.

Clearly we need to ban more guns.

No...no terrorist, a rogue chef looking for some good liver to serve for dinner

See how this works? Because the perp wasn’t on a terror watch list it, ipso facto, can’t be terrorism. Couldn’t be because the people making the watch list are incompetent boobs. Nope.

A civilized society requires a very delicate and coordinated balacing act.
Same as drving on a large freeway.
All it takes is one nut with a loose screw to destroy the function, albeit temporarily. All that said, Mr. Stabby was very likely a foreigner, an illegal one.

Tell men the “knifeman’s” name and I’ll tell you if he was a terrorist or not.

Try dumping the EU and going back to being independent countries that had pride in themselves, their language, and their culture. Control your borders like you once did.
