The Minister of the Interior just announced a 17 yr old teenager, of Afghan descent, attacked a train filled with commuters in Wuerzburg, Germany. More than 20 people have been injured, including 4 who are considered to be in ‘grave’ condition.
The terrorist was shot dead by German police and is now stewing in hell.
Update: ‘unaccompanied minor refugee’
Update: It is confirmed that the 17 year old ‘boy’ was an recent refugee who came unaccompanied. Also, people on the train said he was saying some terrorist shit.
Update: Said boy shouted ‘allah u akbar’ before launching his hate filled attack.

The west is finished.
Europe is definitively fucked. They have no way to kick them out. If it’s not refugees then it’s Europe born fanatics. There is a glimmer of hope for the USA if The Donald manages to win this November; failing that the good ol’ America will turn into shit.
Terrible reference but if you have seen the movie “Salt” the Russian agents plans were to bomb Middle Eastern cities and wait for a slow, steady uprising/death/destructiom of Muslims to destroy Europe as well as the West. Europe is absolutely fucked, they can’t deport over a million refugees without a global uproar. They don’t have the resources to screen and monitor them. They are far from having the financial resources to support them (don’t get me started on that.) The next 20 years, (that’s being generous) will possibly be the most civilly tumultuous time in Europe’s modern history.
yep. Eur makes a nice short in the longer run.
That worked out well in Baton Rouge.
Time to brush up on islam?

Awesome.
Refugee? Impossible. We will see.
This is what this blog has devolved into.
Feel free to express your views of the world at Huffpo and Wapo. I am sure you’ll find keen readers.
Interestingly, I just saw a similar post at the Wall St Journal. Perhaps Teen Beat is more your style.

Feel free to keep your head in the sand. From my perch, all of these geopolitical events are shaping the most important investment narrative in generations. I’d be remiss not to report these things as they occurred.
Naturally, you’re free to visit elsewhere.
On a scale of 1 to zerohedge, this blog is a 3. This is the type of stories that sell though. Would like to see more thought in these comment sections. A lot finger pointing, not many solutions.
Zerohedge makes up news.
This site posts and comments on it.
We are not here to offer solutions.
Shame, lots of smart people on here. Dialogue with a lot of different opinion is a solution in many ways. The more people know, the better off society will be. Unfortunately, you sometimes just get a bunch of people with the exact same thoughts that never listen. But, that’s just people in general. You flock to those that are like you.
“Different” opinions is what got us to this old chap.
Looking for solutions to world problems on comment sections from a financial blog. No way that could go wrong
This crap is going to happen over and over forever. It really sucks.
I don’t wish this to sound crass and thoughts go out to those injured… but this should show the anti-gun group, there are weapons other than guns/bombs, when wielded by hand, can cause injury to multiple people.
Pretty sure those anti-gun people would argue that more people would have died if this guy had easy access to guns.
+1 They will spin zone the shit out of any situation to claim argumentative/moral victory. It seems that habitual lying on their part will never cease unless they are face to face with an crazed, axe wielding maniac.
Read an article a bit back, was an interview with a captured terrorist. Even when it’s your enemy, you have to put yourself in their shoes. His simple explanation was that we invaded his land, and he felt he had to fight back. He compared it to Americans cheering for the Rebel Alliance as they take on Vadar. Was it a simple explanation? Sure. Did it make me feel like if we stopped invading countries on a yearly basis we’d be more safe? Possibly. In sports, you watch tape of the other team. In business, you tirelessly research the competition. You have to win mentally before you can win in battle, on the field , business etc…… Problem is, thinking is hard (apparently), finding a solution is hard. So it’s easier to just write some tired old response on some internet blog. “Betcha he’s a Muslim”, “too bad they didn’t have guns”, “thanks, Obama”. If that’s the best we got, then don’t ever expect to solve a problem beyond which Doritos go better with Mountain Dew.
oh please.No fucking pussified leftist nonsense please.
Yeah, having a plan and knowing your enemy is pussy stuff. I’ll be sure to tell my dad next time he most of a decade deployed in Afghanistan, Iraq and every other hellhole on earth.

You sound like a good enough kid. This isn’t a policy think tank institute. The news is there. Digest it. Use it to form a thesis in the markets. That’s what we do here.

Fair enough. When I see a comment section and it’s basically people with the same exact points of viewpoints commenting over and over, figured I’d offer another way to see things. I’ll keep my comments to myself.
Fly, your entries do have a decidely tilted view. If the bad guy is a minority or a Muslim, you’ll put up 3 or 4 blog posts. If the bad guy is a cop, you blog posts looks like this: ” ”
Now, blog what you want, but your justification that you are just blogging “actionable economic news” is rather thin. If I thought that you were just an ordianry “1st domino” thinker like some of your fans, I’d let it slide, but I give you more credit. So think about this:
Your theory:
Cops getting targeted by criminals-> social unrest -> economic unrest
My theory:
Innocent civilians getting killed by cops -> social unrest -> economic unrest
If you don’t like my first theory theory, how about this one:
Innocent civilians getting killed by cops -> Cops getting targeted by criminals -> social unrest -> economic unrest
Even if you don’t beleive in the BLM cause, (as an investor) you can’t just ignore the political and economic ramifications.
BTN Why doesn’t many many more innocent civilians getting killed by not so innocent civilians-> leading to social unrest?
cops and walls treet execs have something in common: they are generally good, moral peopel, but not all of them are, and the ones that aren’t very rarely go to prison for their actions, unlike the “not so innocent civilians” killers
Fuck man. Go gasbag much? Senor Fly is absolutely honest and a good human being. Stay around you will start to understand. These hallowed halls are special.
I agree that Fly is a good human being, and probably more honest than most. That is why I know I can get him to adjust his views.
Certain other posters are set in their ways…
The cases of cops just hauling it out and randomly shooting people are thin. No?
Facts to the contrary? Please post them here.
Frankly if I were a cop right now I would be carrying my weapon IN MY HAND at all times rather than holstered.
The case of cops shooting minority males in situations that they wouldn’t shoot others, is not so thin, as are other cases of institutional injustice.
No interest in debating.
$HII is a solution. War FTW
Since people are sharing their “on the other hand” theories, here’s one: true followers of Islam, true Muslims are followers of the prophet Muhammed. They follow his teachings and order their lives accordingly. They want to emulate him. That is being a good Muslim. From that perspective, is that radical? No, it is not. It is actually fundamental. We have it wrong. It’s not “radical Islam” from that perspective. What jihadists are doing is fundamental to their “religion”. It’s radical–yes from our perspective, but it’s basic fundamentalism to them. That’s why they have no problem or issue killing other (apostate) Muslims. Islam as practiced by Muhammed and his followers is not a religion of peace. It is about violence and submission. And it must be stopped. Get it straight, people.

Truth.
A pity more do not realize this.
