Re: Queensday drama

he missed by a mile. that's just awful driving. i'm sure all the parties worth going to are still scheduled.

Re: Queensday drama

yeah, thats quite shocking. cant imagine what motives someone might have to do sth like that. heard it from a colleague today, she said: thank god they were white guys, at least, no Morrocans, otherwise the whole country would go mad..

I am note sure if he was white.
And people who go mad if it was a marocan are just dumb like the car driver imho.

There are not so many partys worth going to on queensday anyway wink

Re: Queensday drama

oh man, there is always someone that dosen't experience the same joy as you do.

Re: Queensday drama

Early conclusions here about the motivation of this man seems to be he is in financial trouble, lost his job (security) and got evicted from his apartment.

What an asshole. Take at least people down with you who really deserve it

Re: Queensday drama

Looks to me like some kinda suicide by proxy attempt... except the cops didn't react & shoot him to save bystanders lives.
correct me if i'm wrong but it seems the level of secutiry was very very low regarding an event involving officials...

Re: Queensday drama

What can they do start shooting at a car that goes 100 km/ph or more in the middle of spectators?

Re: Queensday drama

Ah. And you conclude this on the basis of what? Photo's and movies of the crash. That seems to be enough information to make a risk analysis and conclude security sucked?

Think the only thing that would have happend is that more people would have died, not only by the car but also by the shooting....

sorry if i hurt anyone's feeling here..

It just seems really crazy that someone is able to get so close from official's circuit with a car..
In france/Italy or UK when the prez' or Queen is visiting a city they block all the city traffic in a big surrounding area with Police trucks and they place snipers everywhere. even the bystanders crowd is mostly made of selected puppets and i'm not saying this is a good thing. (i think i'm sadly getting used to live in a Police-State though)

This was in no way a criticism against a supposedly lack of "security", i guess it has more to do with the general & consensual respect Dutch people show towards their Queen whatever political side they're on, especially on that very day..am i not right? So indeed it looks to me like the act of a suicidal nutter rather than a carefully planned attack.

by the way, today is also my B'day & i've always associated it w/ the Dutch Queen's day..
so i feel a little more concerned than i should really .. and i am trully sad for the innocent bystanders killed and also for all those terrified kids who witnessed something they should have never seen on a happy day like this.

sad

Re: Queensday drama

lol I was already pretty drunk bbqing when I heard the story...I'm kinda happy that i heard from other people what happened, so I don't have to "enjoy" all the pictures in the news.
