Good drills if that's the case.

I'm no expert but wouldn't they have used guns?

Any news on what they are up to? IRA, Buddist Monks, Christian Crusade?

Oh look, it's another ignorant poster.

Why? These are apparently escaped criminals. There's bad stuff happening all the time all over the world, the past month is no different, just the amount of media coverage it's getting.

Cant believe you said that - I was only taking a guess.. Could literally be anyone. So many hostage situations going on in the world currently.

Two attackers. Obviously not terror related. They must have had simultaneous nervous breakdowns...

I hear he died from having his throat cut.

Wow, one person makes a claim it's escaped convicts and you jump all over that like it's a fact. Who made this claim? What is the source? Where is the evidence? Or is it more bullst from lefty aholes desperate to push an alternative narrative? There is literally nothing in any of the news reports about these being escaped convicts, there's plenty about them slitting the priests throat though.

That's a real turn of bad luck having two killers turn up simultaneously out of the blue and all that...
Rip the priest whose throat they slit first..

[Oakey]

Is it normal for the French President to rock up when two escaped convicts kill someone?

French prosecutor for terrorist related incidents has began work in Paris apparently. So while no official confirmation it looks like it could be

Reports are suggesting they are escaped convicts

This is the problem now - every shooting, every stabbing, every incident is becoming front page news on the chance that it is possibly 'terrorism' related

It's one of the problems with 24 hours news - 20 years ago it would be on the lunchtime news when we would have a bit more information about who these people were, etc. Now we have "initial reports" which seem to be wrong more often than they are right, just look at how long we though there were 3 shooters when the German/Iranian teenager shot those people last weekend.

What's the lefty alternative narrative? Alternative to what more established narrative? What's the narrative that you're subscribing to? Is the unspoken news that they are Islamic?

It is up to the poster to make things clear. If you don't understand the meaning, it is not you who are useless.

Someone, somewhere (on reddit no doubt), made the claim that the assailants were 'escaped convicts'. Someone posted this claim on here and as usual the likes of snorky lap that st up and perpetuate that narrative like it's somehow more valid than the speculation it might be terrorists, despite there being nothing to suggest there's any truth to this rumour.

With the Munich shooter the narrative they were trying to push was that it was white neo nazis. You could almost hear the collective sigh of disappointment as it was revealed it was a kid of middle eastern descent.

Quite clearly there were no insinuations in your original post.

There are many hostage situations going on in the world currently?

Thanks.

I have been away camping since Thursday, haven't heard or seen any news between then and yesterday afternoon, I had no idea of all the stuff happening in Germany and all over. I can't get my head around all the elements and ramifications...
