The official all things terrorism thread

That’s one way of putting it.

 

Are you saying we should solve the problem of shootings with more shooting!

 

An interesting bit of context if I can get the image to load.

It’s the American way.

 

Air pollution must be a contenscious one. Children under 5 is shocking.

 

That's sort of what I was looking for when I found the other site. Nearest figures I found were 2015, but they said for every one American killed by terrorists 1000 died from domestic guns. I wondered how that panned out globally, but it suggests you're more at risk in the US than Syria.

 

Aye, it's never clear how they separate the various copd type causes.

 

So long as the NRA keep telling the country that the only answer to people with guns is more guns, then nothing will ever change.

 

Are those for just the year stated. I can't imagine war would be that low otherwise.

 

I don't know without looking back at the link. I was looking for something else, and that caught my eye and I thought it worth sharing.

 

Alcohol on there but not Cannabis.

Shock. That should be illegal that stuff.

 

I'm 60 times more likely to killed by me than by a terrorist. Scared of my own shadow now.

 

The Mayor of Utrecht has confirmed three people dead.

 

It's per year. Different years for different causes as I imagine the latest data is different.
All the expenditure to avoid terrorism is NOT justified. Particularly as some of it just shifts the problem from one group of victims to another. eg make it hard to blow up planes and buses and trains get blown up instead.

 

3 people confirmed killed now.

Some is justified imo such as domestic and intelligence led. But the billions funding military action abroad is largely bollox and imo making the problem worse.

 

They're looking for a Turkish guy and they've said there's been shootings at several locations...

 

You ever thought that its because of the funding that they are able to prevent way higher atrocities?

 

The killer was Turkish so there won't be any condemnation of his evil warped divisive ideology .

 

In surprised slippery showers isn't on the list .

 

No mate, you're right, move on. Can you please put the caluclator back in the top draw on the right of the small cabinet, thanks muchly bro
