In development: At least one dead and several injured in Strasbourg shooting

[Hollywood Duo]

I appreciate the thought but that's easier said than done for me. I don't know the city, we don't have names, all we have is that people were shot. But I do know that I was already depressed this evening about Europe falling apart BEFORE this happened and now I'm waking up and still scared.

These are challenging times but I believe we will come through this and be stronger for it. Try not to live your life in fear of this stuff. Easier said than done obviously.

gunman still on the run

"Counter-terrorism prosecutors said they had opened an investigation into the shooting.

The suspect, who has been identified as Chérif Chekatt in local media, yelled "Allahu Akbar" ("God is greatest" in Arabic) during the attack, Paris Public Prosecutor Rémy Heitz said during a press conference Wednesday."

It usually ended the 31st the years before, they changed that to the 24th.

Ah, i understand now (sorry for being a dumbass, badly jetlagged). Yes, it was after christmas so this explains that. Well, I will be glad if the market continues, even if it dampens the spirits of the revelers

Fucking piece of shit humans are at it again, shooting at innocent people.

The world will never get rid of garbage human beings being born and harming others. I don't give two shits about what they've been through or whatever excuse some people try to use to explain these things.

Sigh.

I'm also getting extremely angry at this shit (pulled from BBC article): "The gunman, known to security services, is on the run and is being hunted by police. "

Almost every radicalized asshole that does these things is known to authorities, yet they still manage to do this. It's like the US and their inability to recognize that guns are the problem for their shootings.

Shit people are made not born.

Agreed, that's definitely not what I meant.

So he was on a watch list of some 20,000 individuals, who officials admit cannot be tracked at all times. Ergo, French authorities can only act after the perpetrators have ruined the lives of others. Pretty unsettling.
