See it took 9 minutes to mention terrorism or that no one can confirm it's a terrorist. Also no one can confirm it's wasn't a turkey fighting it's way out of Christmas yet.

Found a link at last. Don't know if it's terrorism or not, but we're living in an increasingly scary world

Scary would be the plague or a world war.
It could be argued we're in a world war against Islamic fundamentalism. Also I don't agree that crime isn't scary - many people here will have taken the train from Paris to Amsterdam and an incident like this will inevitably make people think.
Tbh I'm guessing not as the authorities are saying they have the situation under control already.
Holy crap! C4 news reporting that two US marines were on the train, heard the gunman loading his AK-47 in the toilet and tried to overpower him when he came out. The two marines have been injured but with the help of the other passengers they did manage to overpower him.

No, right now people in Britain are living in the absolute pinnacle of human civilisation. It drives me mad when people constantly put down this country - try reading some history instead: everywhere in the world was utterly terrifying up until only recently.
Absolutely amazing, i hope those two make a full recovery and awarded all the way.

Kingdom of fear.
Pull down the hatches and raise the draw bridges. Don't let anyone in or out. Let's just sit here and rot.

History has plenty of examples of "pinnacles of human civilisation", all met the same grim fate.
We know fine well whats in front of us and there is no stopping this hate train now.
Ouch. Wonder why he did it, the vibes I'm getting from the news are that he is a bit Breivik.
Off topic, has anyone ever been on one of those Thalys trains at full chat? You can barely make out what cars you're passing it's that fast.
