While we are all waiting here for the inevitable civil war in America, our home grown terrorists are out and about, spreading diverse joy:
“Just days after a deadly knife attack that left three people dead, including a woman who was decapitated at a church in the French city of Nice, police have confirmed multiple people have been injured and at least one killed after a shooting in the Austrian capital of Vienna.
The shooting took place just hours before the midnight start of a nationwide lockdown to stop the spread of the coronavirus. The extreme measures in Austria are among several lockdowns being imposed across Europe, including in France, where 67 million have just entered a second lockdown as tens of thousands contract the virus across the continent.
In the wake of two terrorist attacks in France – the first being the brutal attack in Paris when a Muslim teen beheaded a schoolteacher in the streets of Paris and then the deaths in Nice – President Emmanuel Macron declared his country “under attack”.
“We will not give in, ever,” he wrote on Twitter.
“We respect all differences in a spirit of peace. We do not accept hate speech and defend reasonable debate. We will always be on the side of human dignity and universal values.”
In the hours following the unfolding attack in Vienna, President Macron took to social media to send his support to Austria, writing that the shooting brought “shock and sadness” to his country.
“We, the French, share the shock and sadness of the Austrians after an attack in Vienna,” he wrote on Twitter.
“After France, it is a friendly country that is under attack. This is our Europe. Our enemies need to know who they are dealing with. We won’t give in to anything.”
Macron, the eternal opportunist is under electoral pressure from Le Pen, and is now engaging in sabre rattling, which will stop as soon as the next election, after which the line will be how diversity enriches us. As for the terror attacks, it seems implausible that there were only two dead from such a large scale operation. Either the authorities are keeping a lid on things until after the US election, or these are a pretty low-grade bunch of terrorists!
