Would it do any good if they DID catch the shooter? At the end of the day, somebody else (a copycat) could do a similar thing just because they're opposed to a person's views
Do they know for sure it's a political killing? I know it's likely but without the shooter it's conjecture at the moment |

As Melusine says, this shooting has just made things worse - I heard on the radio that 'lijst Fortuyn' (Fortuyn's political party) is going on without their leader and is therefore still an option with regards to the elections, and Fortuyn's supporters are only going to be more determined for 'lijst Fortuyn' to win.
As far as Fortuyn being a Nazi, it's hard to say. He is certainly extremely right-wing, but not as racist as some people seem to think. He merely points out the fact that people are taking advantage of the Netherlands as a whole - and it is, coincedentally perhaps, generally ethnic minorities that appear to do this. This automatically brands Fortuyn a 'racist' when he is only really interested in maintaining a stable economy with maximum efficiency. [ 05-06-2002, 02:01 PM: Message edited by: Arledrian ] |

I am really interested wehe all this will lead to, especially with an eye on the political shift right in europe and him being a far right (not extreem right however) political figure. people tend to over exaggerate implications when things has just happened, but I doubt this will pas lightly.

Well Ar-Cunin - I am a strong believer in free speech as well - don't you see that's the reason why I'm so upset right now?? All I'm asking is that people stop the political propaganda and have some bloody respect!

But please don't get angry with Melusine, it is my fault - I would prefer that the hatchet be buried if you would please reconsider it. My post was thoughtless and stupid, and I'm not surprised with hindsight (which is always 20/20 of course) that a well meaning thread got derailed because of my stupidity.
