Did MAcron said he wanted to edit the Constitution?

[smjjames]

Their cohesiveness hasn't been tested yet and the party literally went from 0 to 361 in like two years, so, they still have to find their footing as a multimember party.

Did MAcron said he wanted to edit the Constitution?

Source?

[Sheb]

How do you want me to source a question?

Also it seems exit polls are anywhere between 355 and 405 so he has some margin.

[smjjames]

He might have said something about reforming the election system and I'm not sure if he ever said anything about doing something with the constitution.

Theres been an incident where a vehichle collided with pedestrians and several casualties in london. The exact circumstances behind it (there have been similar looking incidents where the person was just drunk or is mentally ill) are unknown, but they do have someone in custody.

It's starting to look like it's a case of someone targeting muslims as they were coming out of the neghborhood mosque there.

Apparently some witnesses reported him as saying "I want to kill Muslims" as he exited his vehicle, so yeah. I hear it's being reated as a terror attack now.

While that isn't surprising, it also isn't surprising for eye-witness testimony to be false in this situation (As they seem to often be in the situation of the suspect suddenly declaring extra guiltiness)

I'd wait until we get more details before we judge.

Failed attack at the Champ Élyseés in Paris. A man drove into police officers, after which the car immediatly caught fire. The police managed to get the man out of the vehicle, but he succumbed to his injuries. According to the police, the man had a Kalasjnikov-rifle in his car. No police officers were injured.

Really? Cause lately, these sort of attackers (whether right-wingers, Islamists, or left-wingers) seem to be self-identifying pretty accurately.

Is it me or is the quality of jihadist degrading lately?

[ChairmanPoo]

Aye, that's the weakness with the "mass media" approach to jihadism. If you appeal to enough people to kill and die in the name of (Insert literally ANY deity or leader here=, someone will be nuts enough to listen to you, that's almost guaranteed. But in the process you have pretty much forfeited any screening effort.

But for some bizarre reason this one was capable enough to acquire an assault rifle, but dumb enough to go and ram his vehicle against a police van.

If he had opened fire in a crowded street or building dozens of people would have died.

Two assault rifles, two handgun and apparently he had gas cylinders in his car.

Maybe he wanted to be a jihadi like all his pals, but really didn't want to hurt anyone?

I'd prefer them to stay at about this level of competence, at most.

Brussels Central Station has been evacuated after a small explosion occured. It's not yet exactly clear what happened. Police do say that they have 'neutralized' a suspect.
