NAKEDMUDPEOPLE: Yes, I understand. When we read and hear of these things happening in other places, we feel but don't understand.
I didn't get the whole story, who was this man, why did he do it and were did he come from?
we don't know yet.
all we know is that is is a native Dutch man, blond hair, blue eyes, he wore camouflage pants. he just walked in the shopping mall, very peaceful and started too shoot around....emptied his machinegun, very peacefully reloaded and shot again..
according to people on the site, he was very calm.
then he took another pistol out of his pocket, and shot himself through the head. in front of all the people hiding on the floor in a supermarket.
there is no info on why he did it yet..
but what bothers me most... is that the media made so much haste to inform the public that he was native dutch and not islamic. there is something very awfull lying beneath the dutch soil..

tallman51: Very sad news carenza !!
I can sympathize with you ! Ireland was no stranger to that kind of thing a few years ago.
I know tallman.
been to Ireland many times and even I, as a foreiner, could taste the tension sometimes in certain areas. nothing at hand, but I just sensed people's tension around me.
so sad......ireland is one of the most beautiful countries.

it's near my city, my region.
I feel so sad for the victims and their families and friends.
What nobody could ever imagined to happen here, just happened this afternoon. In broad daylight.
the sun is shining, but everything has turned black in an instant.
my thoughts are with my fellow countrymen.
bless you all.
