Mod instruction
the police are not speculating opover motive, and posters in this thread had better adopt the same approach until something definitive is reported
The Sweden-Belgium match has now been abandoned because of it.
Europe has been ruined, is being ruined 😞
The Belgians have always been a strange lot, but it looks like they are catching up with their superior neighbours down south.
Disgraceful.
I really wish all these people who feel like killing someone over something they think their sky fairy wants them to do would just take a bit of time think and either decide not to do it or if they are so far gone that they just can't resist killing on behalf of their sky fairy just pick the gun up and stick it in their mouth and blow their own head off.
The videos doing the rounds show exactly what happened. There's even one of him saying he's Isis. But yeah, totally not clear

Brutal video. RIP.
Yeah just like proxies in Iran & Qatar are killing in Israel , its obviously directed at Sweden , so much for welcoming them with open arms !
He's still at large,but he's been identified as illegal immigrant with previous terrorist related convictions in Tunisia
Yep def a terrorist attack as we all said.
What does ISIS have to do with Palestine?
Terrorism mass terrorism
Look, it’s an Islamist terrorist attack on European soil, another one. Another murder.
whether it’s by a member of Isis, someone affiliated to them, or just someone endorsing their mentality. It hardly matters….it doesn’t matter.
he didn’t murder people because of a bad refereeing decision, he didn’t do it because the price of Johnny onion rings….he did it because he is an Islamist who hates westerners, even though westerners, Europeans, provide him and his family with security, safety, and a far higher quality of life no doubt… but, “must kill them”… he thinks..
will get a whole lot worse this situation before it improves.
they don’t seem to be fans of us Europeans.
Find it a bit mad this has been taken off the rte front page. It's the 4th and 5th most read story.
No poster didn't mention Hamas, he said what's it got to do with Palestine.
Seems like the terrorist is dead now according to sky morning news reports.
It wasn't on the 11pm news on Today FM last night. The sports bulletin after the news said the Belgium Sweden game was called off at half time because of events elsewhere in Brussels and they moved onto the next sports story.
Our establishment does not want us thinking or talking about such things while they go about creating the conditions for the same type of bloodshed here.
Our establishment, which includes you and me, doesn’t want to glorify and give more oxygen than is necessary to terrorism.
If you think about this with your head instead of your heart you would realise that two random murders in Brussels really doesn’t need to dominate the news cycle in Ireland. Maybe if there was a similar sectarian attack in the north but not Brussels ffs.
I think the sensationalist model of news as entertainment has warped people’s expectations so much that they think every violent nut claiming to be a member of ISIS should be plastered all over the news, so that the viewer can sit tumescent on the edge of their couch and salivate at their violent revenge fantasies.
Definite policy to downplay the criminality of the “New Europeans”. And to obscure whether terrorism is the motive behind an attack.
So if a couple of Irish rugby fans had been sacrificed this way Bataclan-style in Paris, we should ignore it?
No but I certainly wouldn’t expect it to dominate the news cycle in Sweden or Belgium. Do you see where I’m getting at now?
Who's ignoring it?
good news.the muslim terrorist has been shot by police in a cafe.
Another despicable attack fueled by Islamic hatred.
If the reports are correct and they have this absolute scum gunman, now the Belgian authorities should investigate who was involved in this - his family, network of accomplices, financiers, weapon supplier etc.
Then jail and deport, deport, deport.
Latest media reports suggest that the attacker has been neutralised by the Belgian police. Totally agree about excising his entire network from a Western European democracy.
The only thing these people respond to is firm action and eliminating their access to the ‘goodies’ on offer in Europe.
A terrorist attack on European soil has always made the headlines here.
No reason this shouldn't be headline news.
In fairness it’s received more media coverage than the Sligo murders last year, the Irish media ( in their progressive wisdom) buried that story fairly lively once some key details became apparent
Varying levels of mental inconvenience for them.
Ideological inconvenience
