With the amount of Syrian/Afghan refugees flooding into Europe right now and Europes involvement in those wars, I imagine this sort of thing is going to be on the rise.
- CM30 11y agoYou may be right, though the sociopaths behind this may have also been home grown terrorists as well. Remember, a lot of organisations like IS are trying to stir up violence among citizens of countries in Europe and the West. Either way, it's an absolutely awful turn of events, and the kind of horrible thing that I thought would never happen again after the attacks in the early 00s.
- ps4fanboy 11y agoThis whole thing is a feedback loop, it will never end.
- openfuture 11y agoExcept it has to :) But your right, recognizing it's a feedback loop is the first step.
- ps4fanboy 11y agoAnd the second step?
- openfuture 11y agoBreak the feedback loop. Keep trusting, keep being fair to everyone. That means not allowing people to break the rules of society due to their personal beliefs but enforcing laws above board. No "shadowbanning" (unlawful arrests) or unlawful surveillance.

- adsche 11y agoTheir involvement in "those wars" being that they had to flee them?
- ps4fanboy 11y agoEuropes involvement
- adsche 11y agoAnd in your imagination, who is resppnsible with what motive and why is that not baseless speculation?
- ps4fanboy 11y agoI am sorry I dont understand what you mean can you edit your comment and I will try and answer your question.
- AnimalMuppet 11y agoI believe that what ps4fanboy meant is "Europe's involvement in those wars that the refugees are fleeing". That is, Europe has had some involvement in Libya, Syria, and Iraq. Do any of the refugees blame Europe for their [Europe's] involvement? Probably some do, yes.
- jacquesm 11y agoYes, for the most of the people fleeing that was the sum total of their involvement. And for a small percentage of those people they either are taking the fight with them or have other plans. It's a tough situation, on the one hand no right thinking person has a problem with sheltering refugees, on the other hand those very same people are worried about what the long term consequences of these mass movements of people will be. One thing is fairly certain, the Schengen agreement (which has done more for the unification of Europe than almost any other EU activity short of the launch of the Euro) is going to be a casualty.

- llamataboot 11y agoThe refugees are fleeing the same type of violence, you know.
- ghostDancer 11y agoMost of the refugees are running from this kind of people but in their own country.
- Keyframe 11y agoProblem is screening for who's who.
- serge2k 11y agoWhat do you mean? They are all women and children. Even that guy with the heavy beard and body of a 25 year old man, he's really 15. He's actually Syrian too, the accent being completely wrong is just a quirk.
- Keyframe 11y agoHe's a child at heart! Seriously though, it's a terrifying thought of having tens of thousands+ of people wandering about unregistered / unscreened first. It is (has) changed now somewhat, but who knows what was let in.
