Dutch politician Pim Fortuyn has just been shot

[Saint Marcus]

not yet

right now, the rioters are targetting the other politicians. though, because of the extreme numbers of riot police present there now, it's likely to spread to other parts, possibly immigrant neighbourhoods.

[Saint Marcus]

regular (non-riot) cops are also targetted. Policemen are advised not to travel alone.

The socialists, greens, labour, democrats, liberals want to pospone the elections. christians, christian democrats want the elections to continue.

[faded glory]

they say they have captured someone. Atleast CNN says so.

Would that make you happy?

[Saint Marcus]

who? the cops in Hilversum, The Hague, or the rioters?

the killer has been caught though

[Saint Marcus]

Idiot.

why? it very possible the violence might spread to immigrant neighbourhoods, especcially if the killer is an immigrant.

He is reported to be a white Dutchman.

Yes, faded, one 'possible suspect' has been arrested, if you're referring to that. But he has not yet released any kind of statement and doesn't plan on doing so anytime soon, according to the police.

He is reported to be a white Dutchman.

really? I didn't hear that yet.

is it a lone gunman, or are there more involved?

[faded glory]

Hey what the hell? He is gay? You call him right wing?


Wow!

let me say that again.

Wow!

[Locutus]

Mark,
Paraphrasing the police: for now there is no reason to assume that there are more people involved, but the investigation is still underway.

Faded,
Read the rest of the thread, this was explained by several others already.

According to Hilversum police, there is one "suspect", a white Dutchman. He had a gun in his possession and was arrested on the premises of the "Omroep". He has so far refused to make a statement.

I see no contradiction in a homosexual being extreme-right. No more than a woman or a working-class person being that. They sacrifice power for one of their identity groups to be able to augment the power of others.

[Saint Marcus]

right wing doesn't mean anti-gay
