What a waste of human life, I'll never understand these people that want to travel around the world just to kill people they disagree with.

Strange chemical haze in England. old chemical weapon detonated on a shipwreck maybe? just my random speculation.

Klaas Otto, founder and former foreman of Motorclub 'No Surrender' has been arrested in his prison cell, for plotting to assassinate the Dutch attorney general leading the case against him.
On the outside of prison, a 44 year old Dutch man has also been arrested, as the suspected hitman.

Otto founded No Surrender in 2013, and it got a lot of publicity when Dutch top criminal Willem Holleeder joined it's ranks for a while.
Under Otto's leadership, assisted by him appearing in the media frequently defending motorclubs from bad rep, it grew in just a few years from a town hobby club to an international motorclub with dozens of chapters.
Otto was already in prison awaiting trial for money laundry, extortion, involvement in an attack involving a handgrenade, and setting fire to a fellow member's home.
He was due to stand trial in two weeks.
Now there's attempted assassination added to the list.

Did he surrender, though?

Also, speaking of criminals, this fucking guy.

[martinuzz]

Yeah, my newspaper headlines said that if he's indeed guilty of all the crimes he's suspected of now, he's the biggest mass murderer in Germany since WW2

[Baffler]

I doubt a lot of those will stick. They'll have to prove that his actions caused those patients to die, and that resuscitation would have been possible in the first place had he not intervened, wouldn't they?

[martinuzz]

Well, they're trying to make that stick for the 84 patients that have not been cremated, and could be dug up for further investigation. They suspect him of many more (perhaps over a hundred), but those are never going to be proven, because the bodies were cremated.

Nepotism - kill people by accident because you're a shitty nurse but you keep your position because you're the doctor's nephew

VS.

Meritocracy - kill people to get that dank street cred as Spock the Good Doc

The 22 year old Dutch guy that was arrested two weeks ago in connection to the cancelled concert of Allah-la, turns out to be a student of Integral Safety Studies, and member of an international online organisation, 'Syria General' that infiltrates IS terror cells online.

In an attempt to bait an IS contact into divulging more information about an upcoming big attack in Spain, the guy bluffed that he himself was planning an attack in Rotterdam, at the Allah-la concert, hoping this would entice his IS contact to spill more information.

Spanish intelligence agencies intercepted that bluff message and relayed it to Dutch intelligence, who decided to cancel and quarantaine the concert, and raided the kid's parental home and took him to terrorist interrogation summer camp.

Had the Dutch intelligence agency looked at it's own data better, they would have known the guy wasn't a terrorist. He had been in contact with them before, supplying information.

For some reason though, the guy hasn't been released yet, yesterday the judge ruled that it was okay to hold him for longer. His restrictions were lifted today though, so his lawyer could share the story with the media.

[smjjames]

I guess with the sudden change in plans of the Spanish group, the bluff attack ended up being too close for comfort for authorities?

I wonder how much that'll impact his willingness to cooperate or interact with the Dutch authorities, heh.

So the German election is soon, and I just ran across an analysis of it from 538, of all people. Anyone want to comment?

Warning: This article was written for an American audience and thus uses the American definitions for left, right, conservative, and liberal. Do not be deceived/angered by the description of militant socialists as very liberal.

* scriver goes catatonic over the heresy

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Nurse! 150ccs of Das Kapital, stat!

[smjjames]

It doesn't actually call the socialist party very liberal, just labelled as 'The Left' and the chart says that they are anti-miltarism, which is not-militant.

If any of the parties are militant, it'd probably be AfD.

[martinuzz]

I dunno man, you can be very militantly against militarism
