And the current Islamic terrorist attack is...

[Staggerwing]

Damn, not again!

[Boggit]

The stupidity wisdom of Mrs Merkel's open door immigration policy. I'm glad we voted for Brexit for that reason as well now if it means fewer attacks on our people. Meanwhile Germany has to work out who - exactly - they have invited into Germany... ???

Shooting at a Florida club again, this time a teen swimsuit party; happened early this morning (Monday) just after midnight local time as the club was closing.

Notably, the club had armed guards, which might explain why the perpetrator waited until closing time to ambush outside the club.  :-\

Nothing yet in the news this morning over motives or even ethnicity in the shooting.

I know Ft. Myers very well, I used to work down there-- about 45 miles from my house. Almost certainly Gang-Related and or Drug-Related as both are very prevalent there. OLD PERSON ALERT-- Thirthy years ago, the city was a joy to shop and visit in but the last 10 years maybe it's all gone down hill. Shootings occur daily and there are places where the Police usually stay away unless in an emergency situation and in large numbers. It's a College Town so there's always been a rowdy element and drugs but now the areas of gang involvement have spread all across the city. My Son-In-Law's a Probation Officer so I hear the stories. Maybe 2 years ago there was a drive-by shooting at the big mall there-- something unthinkable in my days of X-mas shopping and computer game checking-out there.

In the last year there was a drive-by that killed a 5 year old boy in his home. The police caught the perps but because no one would testify against them, they went free.

Some of the other older cities around have done an excellent job of keeping their downtown sections clean, safe and revitalized. But Ft. Myers isn't one of them.

[JasonPratt]

Officials seem to agree, no evidence the Ft. Meyers shooting was meant to be a terrorist act.

France

Two armed men (knifes) have taken hostages at a church near Rouen in northern France
A priest and two sisters, as well as churchgoers, were among those held

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-36892785

...first rumors on Twitter the french SWAT just neutralized them. 
but the priest didn't made it (got slaughtered)

[Dammit Carl!]

Any speculation as to the "why," in the seeming increase in number of attacks lately?  I'd wager copy-cat and keeping the sensationalism going, but this is strictly armchair psychology from a guy in the U.S.

Links to good reading on this subject is always a boon if possible.

Again; stay safe EU Grogs.

[MikeGER]

Dammit Carl!

when i take all the other crazy (non Islam) singular events that now happen daily all around the globe (different shootings in the USA, yesterday Japan: a crazy man assaulted a nursing home, killed 19) also into account.
(and consider not all crazy stuff make it into our western centered prime time news)

I feel like im living in the script of a bad B-horror movie, where some "stuff" (virus, waves-partilces from outer space, conjunction of the Spheres ala Witcher novel, you name it ...) escaped into this world and poluted the planet

...and now more and more and more people already on the edge just loose it, the most mentally fragile first.

"The Rampage Apocalypse"   ???

[Pete Dero]

And now there are reports (reuters press agency) a doctor is killed by a shooter in a hospital in Berlin.  The shooter committed suicide.

[Sir Slash]

Everyone calm down. Obama's been trying to tell us that the world is actually safer than it's ever been for quite awhile now. Like 8 years now. It's the damned media that's trying to scare everybody to sell newspapers. Don't you feel safer now than 8 years ago? No? Me either but that's just because I'm a product of racist, Western Culture/ Nationalism/ Christianity. Obama's about to show all of us how to live right when he returns to private life, moves back to the south side of Chicago and gives-up his Secret Service detail and sleeps with his door unlocked at night. Because, you know, he has made the world safer, for all of us.  :P

[mirth]

I know I've never felt safer
