^ I take it they wanted to interrogate and find out whether this was an isolated case, or if he had friends helping him. Police now say he was a loner.

^ I suspect the police demonstrated an extremely high level of self restraint.

Hopefully, he at least got something akin to a Nantucket sleigh ride downtown. Pittsburgh should have good topography for that. Isn't there proper police jargon for one of those, or has that been done away with in this brave new PC world?

A diplomatic crisis has arisen between Denmark and Iran

This evening the Danish Government had decided to recall the Danish Ambassador in Iran.

I don't think the Danish Government would come forward with such an accusation against an another country, if they didn't have solid prof.

I don't know, I by default shrug these ''solid proof, solid evidence and absolutely certain'' claims by our governements in the bin as being rubbish unless they actually deliver. Also if they have solid proof it's no longer a case of being 'suspected' now is it?

Anyway, I trust the West as much as the ones they accuse these days.

Funny as it seems now EU can shake a fist and push for sanctions as with Saudi Arabia they may point a weak condeming finger in the eye of the public.

Australias turn today

Quote:
A man who set a car on fire and stabbed three people - one fatally - in the Australian city of Melbourne has died in hospital after being shot by police.

Authorities now say they are treating the attack as a terror-related.

The attacker was shot after confronting officers on a busy city street, authorities said. He was taken into custody in a critical condition.

The two survivors are in hospital, one reportedly in a critical condition. The suspect has not been named.

Police said they were "not looking for anyone further at this early stage".

Meanwhile, back in Strasbourg.

Quote:
The Strasbourg gunman yelled "Allahu Akbar" (God is greatest) as he opened fire on people enjoying an evening out at a Christmas market, the Paris public prosecutor told reporters.

Rémy Heitz said two people had been killed and one left brain-dead after the attack in the eastern French city on Tuesday.

Twelve were wounded, six seriously.

The man, named by local media as Chérif Chekatt, was known to authorities as having been radicalised in prison.

The 29-year-old was armed with a gun and a knife and escaped the area in a taxi, Mr Heitz said.

Ah....another known by the police to have been radicalised with a criminal record longer then my grocery list.

Good to know he was allowed to return to society, get weapons and kill 2 people, 1 braindead and several wounded of which 6 critical.

Good job to whoever responsible of letting this pearl of a human being out of prison!

Perhaps consideration will be given to the return of madame guillotine.

Allah is the greatest of motivators. Since he is also the greatest of deceivers, this shall not make the round. So can we please all collectively join in for a loud, obedient chorus: Ready? A one - a two - a one two three - and everybody:


Islam - has - nothing!! - to - do - with - it!


This - deed - is - not - Islam!


Muslims - cannot - do - bad - because - they - follow - Islam!


Muslims - are - people - too!



Say again! And with more verve, please!
