The "redactions"?

[martinuzz]

Erm... Editors. Dutch word 'redactie'

[Frumple]

... honestly, that makes the event less interesting. Anti-tank attack on a bunch of magazine editors is significantly more explicable than an attack on a redaction archive.

[Kagus]

The "redactions"?

Like ██████, ██████████ and ███.

Which is strange, because I thought Playboy did away with those a long time ago.

Just spam post the ‘navy seal’ copypasta 367 times over

I mean, if it's the Navy Seals people would just instantly recognize it and then it's not really that funny anymore. That's the problem with memes in general, I mean look at them, they come to this place when they know they are not pure. Tenno use the keys, but they are mere trespassers. Only I, Vor, know the true power of the Void. I was cut in half, destroyed, but through it's Janus Key, the Void called to me. It brought me here and here I was reborn. We cannot blame these creatures, they are being led by a false prophet, an impostor who knows not the secrets of the Void. Behold the Tenno, come to scavenge and desecrate this sacred realm. My brothers, did I not tell of this day? Did I not prophesize this moment? Now, I will stop them. Now I am changed, reborn through the energy of the Janus Key. Forever bound to the Void. Let it be known, if the Tenno want true salvation, they will lay down their arms, and wait for the baptism of my Janus key. It is time. I will teach these trespassers the redemptive power of my Janus key. They will learn it's simple truth. The Tenno are lost, and they will resist. But I, Vor, will look at them, they come to this place when they know they are not pure. Tenno use the keys, but they are mere trespassers. Only I, Vor, know the true power of the Void.

SKOOM

Well, I just made a huge fool of myself in public by assuming my media volume was set to nill.

An office building in Amsterdam that houses the redactions of the magazines De Nieuwe Revu, Panorama, and Playboy has been attacked with an anti-tank weapon.
No one was hurt, but the office's front and windows are damaged, and a toilet has collapsed.
Magazine editors have resumed work as if nothing has happened.
The anti-tank weapon was left at the scene.
Amsterdam police have a suspect in custody.
The identity of the suspect, and a motive for the attack are as of yet unknown.

Link? I’m incredulous at that because, well, how the heck does one get an anti tank weapon in a place like  the Netherlands.

I believe you, but this is like ‘screenshot or it never happened’ level.

[martinuzz]

The suspect in custody is a member of a relatively new biker gang, which the justice department is trying to outlaw.

An anti-tank weapon making it to the Netherlands sadly does not surprise me.
You can smuggle everything ever since Schengen without fear of being caught. No border checks.

[smjjames]

How did they get ahold of an anti-tank weapon though? The most obvious would be military surplus, but you’d think they’d have some pretty stringent background checks for that kind of stuff.

[martinuzz]

the Schengen zone includes some countries where corruption and bribery of officials is still a thing

[Hanslanda]

Cinder, I have no idea what you're saying but it makes me feel safer and superior. Can I give you money and defend your words far past the point of reason?

[Grim Portent]

Old soviet weapon from east Europe maybe? Lots of weaponry floating about the black market from Soviet era equipment.

Funnily enough some months back a girl was arrested at the B&H-Croatia border, she was on a bus heading for somewhere in Germany in her luggage she had a fucking RPG. Not entirely sure what she was thinking there since it's not exactly an easy thing to conceal :V

[smjjames]

Anyhow, that building seems to have survived pretty well for getting hit with something meant to take out a tank. Kind of expected there to be more damage. 

[Jopax]

Well HEAT stuff is usually a very focused jet of molted metal meant to go trough armor and cook anything behind it. As such most of the damage was probably the air blast of the explosion and some secondary burnination in a small area. If you want real damage to a building you use one of the HE variants which are designed for this kind of stuff.
