Terrorist truck attack in Stockholm.

[Dist. Expert 26]

Looks like it's time for some common sense truck laws in Europe. These high capacity assault trucks are simply too dangerous for civilians to be trusted with.

I feel like we are on the cusp of something big here.

I am shocked that hours after the USA bombs Syria, a Mormon would do such a thing.

Definitely NOT Mormons, they prefer bicycles and backpack dirty bombs :)

Guys come on, nothing happens in Sweden.

@willis = Actually, I don't. I think this points to how castrated these guys are. Lone wolfs with totally improvised attacks are about the only thing they can pull off. More than one dude and any kind of gun or explosive has too many moving parts and gets squashed. Maybe that is the defense forces intercepting and remove those threats, maybe they can't just muster that kind of complexity.

Not saying that it is going to end soon, but I don't see more jihadis wanting to go out in attack like this- not kool enough for them. It doesn't attract the right amount of attention. You end up with these half-crazy/half-jihadi attacks. If they were blowing up trains or attacking LNG or taking hostages in schools- that shows some organizational depth. This just shows how far we've drained the gene pool of jihadis.

And yet, they still have yet to ban assault trucks. Think of the children.

I can tell you right now that the average people in Sweden and Finland are not on board with having these Islamic migrants coming into their country. Their media portrays that they are united, accepting, humble- that is not the case. Their governments want a problematic underclass of people that will allow the government to push for more extreme control measures over the population. The one issue is that they don't have the same freedom's of speech as a lot of European countries do so the opposition to the government flooding the country with terrorists isn't voiced.

Just saw this on my news feed. Those darned Mormons.

I am not sure about that sadly I think its like here maybe worse ? the wackos are the majority maybe and the insignificant are just that afraid to take either side

What's a little rape in the grand scheme of things. These guys were just helping Sweden with their big picture perspective.

That truck was hacked by Russia.

Guy with a truck kills four, while we launch 50 cruise missles and kill two....

Are you saying we need some assault drone trucks?

We will have them in 10 years, for $10billion in development costs and $25million each, and they will be electric powered and not break the speed limit.

I think that you are overly optimistic with your assessment. :jester:

Electric is so old school. Need renewable energy. Solar dude, solar.

Europe is VSF'd.

I'm convinced that while none of the European Left will come out and say it, for obvious reasons, that what you said is basically their mindset. I finally reached this conclusion last year when a story circulated about a German woman who was murdered by a machete-wielding migrant from, I think, Syria (If not Syria than some other mideast shithole.) and I thought to myself, if that prick hadn't been allowed in, that woman would still be alive today. And I realized that the European Left (And probably the Left in the US too) is viewing all these assaults, rapes and murders through the lens of "acceptable losses". Cultural diversity is so important to them (For assorted reasons - socialist utopian idiocy, atoning for the West's "privilage", importing welfare leeches who will vote for them, etc etc) that if a few Swedish women have to be raped, or a few German women have to get hacked to death, this is just the price one has to pay for the lofty goal of multiculturalism, and they are willing to pay it, or more properly, have everyone else pay it.
They try to throw smoke by burying or attempting to refute the statistics, but they know the facts, the difference is that they are OK with them.

I fear after this latest truck attack that we will see a rise in truckphobia.
