There is no possibility of things getting even worse? Things can always get worse and acts of violence can backfire in ways unimaginable. Turkey may become even more corrupt, Russia even more barbaric due to this, and international community won't say a thing because they don't like to see ambassadors getting murdered.

No, you moron, I dismiss the act of celebrating a diplomat being shot. I'm sure some people celebrated after Benghazi, and I would call them morons as well. Nothing good will come out of this, and the people most likely to suffer are civilians trapped in Syria. Putin just got an excuse to ramp up involvement and Erdogan will have to quietly watch from a corner with his thumbs up his rear end.

Oh for sure sometimes political violence furthers some political goals, but you can never tell if it really helps that goal, and at that point it also comes under question whether the goal was objectively worth killing for because you're too consumed by your ideology.

I mean it'd be interesting if in both cases 1 out of 6 people hit by the truck died while the other 5 survived with injuries. But it must be just a coincidence that the ratios are so close and it's too early to tell if they stay that way, I do hope so.

Well, it turns out the driver of the truck was from a refugee center in Germany, a Pakistani person. I admit I don't know why there are Pakistani refugees, maybe political? But anyway, welcome our new overlords, Le Pen & friends. Good thing we got rid of fascism here in Portugal kind of recently (1974) so we still remember how it is and won't go back to it anytime soon (I hope). Religion really is the worst loving invention. That and oil, gas.

orange sky posted:Well, it turns out the driver of the truck was from a refugee center in Germany, a Pakistani person. Not sure why you're so surprised. Despite the narrative that most people in this thread like to play up (probably because they believe it themselves), less than half of the migrants crossing into Europe by sea since 2015 were from Syria. Being Pakistani doesn't automatically mean you won't be granted asylum or that conditions aren't bad in Pakistan (they're terrible in a lot of places which don't grant asylum), but Pakistani asylum claims are mainly rejected: http://www.economist.com/blogs/graphicdetail/2015/09/daily-chart-16 edit: more recent numbers, 84% of Pakistani refugees denied asylum http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statis...uarter_2016.png Why are they still trying? My guess is stories sold by people smugglers, media narratives a while ago, not enough deterrence ("refugees welcome" interpreted incorrectly), the prospect of staying illegally after a negative decision or many others.
