In the 1970s there was a spate of bombings in England by the Provisional IRA. Perhaps that wouldn't have happened if we'd prevented Irish people coming in to live here? Maybe sent the ones who were here back to where they came from. At least the Catholics, they were the bad'uns. 

Or, perhaps not... 

Or, perhaps, if 'we' hadn't brutally murdered 13 civilians in broad daylight we could have nipped it in the bud before it got that far. 

Same shit, different day.

Sado-Liberalism. It's the future.

Very droll, but of course our own behaviour is the easiest to change.

Or we can accept resistibility where appropriate and do what we can to learn from that? Up to you.

Freudian slip there?  I'm sure our fellow VT members are more open to persuasion than you suggest.  :)

Killed in a shoot out at a train station, Milan's a huge transport hub so seemingly he was running somewhere else.

I suspose catching him alive was always unlikely.

Meanwhile in Australia they've seemingly foiled a Christmas Day attack in Melbourne. Oh and another plot uncovered in Germany.

Merry Christmas one and all.

Istanbul was on high alert last night with 17,000 police on duty yet a man dressed as Santa was still able to walk into a nightclub kill 39 people then leave again. Still at large. Incredible.

Was it too much of a stretch to have a few (like 2 or 3) undercover in all the big clubs and venues considering the 17k plodding around ? Or is that tactically to out there to be considered.

It's not just the fact he walked in and shot people,  but to get away as well is as you say, incredible.  It is like popping a ballon with a pin currently,  big area to attack with sharp and targeted hit and run attacks.  It's basic gorilla warfare with the clubs or markets the compounds.

Madness, just absolute madness.

Europe needs to get used to things like this iam afraid, or atleast Turkey and western europe!

True.

The initial incident is very difficult to defend against. Letting him get away is pretty ridiculous for a major city supposedly on high alert.

Image result for gorilla warfare

 

You probably mean guerilla warfare. :P 

I had a friend that got found not guilty of football hooliganism on that very technicality.

Back when it was trendy to be in a casual footy gang with calling cards one of the local groups were the 'guerillas'. There was a disturbance in town and the police grabbed everyone nearby and bundled them in to vans. My mate, Eddie, had gorilla stickers in his pocket (as we all do). 

Case was dismissed in about a minute. He had no previous, he was wearing a suit and tie and on a direct route between work and home at 6:00pm. The magistrate however, wanted to particularly concentrate for most of that minute, on why the police thought a gorilla was a guerilla.
