    One of the biggest rock festivals in Europe has been evacuated this evening, it takes place in Germany and 80k people were told leave because of security concerns.

    Very serious.

    Hopefully it's someone just pissing about

    They were calmly told to return to there campsites after a potential tipoff, honestly like some are doing I would stay around the stages, rather than congregate in a large pool of people.

    I would not call it very serious, as nothing yet has happened and security have obviously had a very well drilled plan of action going by photos.

    They would not go toe to toe face to face with those headbangers at the festival if their rotten little lives depended on it

    As serious as plastic explosive being discovered in a car with suspected terrorists?

    Moreso the ZOMG heads on this, bunch of ditherers, wouldn't expect them to pull through and stick together in a time of crisis, probably would just wilt, cry and lament

    Apparently someone who worked security at the festival is being investigated. Like really, they wouldn't have evacuated 85,000 people for nothing. Sitting tight is a stupid thing to do - if there is something going on then you're then putting security personnel, police and other attendees at risk by delaying full evacuation.

    The battle maps are worth having a look at. The jihad isn't exactly making much ground. Gotta wonder where the weaponry is going to come from when the current stockpile is used up. There is only so much smuggling can bring in.

    They wouldn't have evacuated 80k plus folks for nothing. Fear and terror has been unfortunately already planted in west Europe. In next few years it will be probably nervous feat to go to the shopping mall to do some shopping or to the cinema or theatre. If it’s not already…

    Countries will have to spend billions on security, while business will suffer, probably less customers around busy places and more people deciding to shop online etc. Sad how is and really baffling how governments can’t see that coming and are not taking severe actions to protect themselves and own people.

    What are you asking me for? I just provided the link to the story the other poster was alluding to to answer your question.
