Sorry if I upset anyone - I was just trying to be controversial, Devil's advocate if you like. Of course I wouldn't really have shot him (but I would have shot Hitler, with benefit of hindsight - and no, I am not comparing them) but that doesn't mean I'm going to shed any tears, even though it was not the right way to deal with him.
Donut, for what it's worth I agree with what you said - and that is how I do my bit to deal with extreme right-wingers - demonstrate, expose them, etc. Sorry if I caused any offence, I am a bit warped. I'm truly sorry [img]graemlins/crying.gif[/img] Yes, I can see now that I'm an idiot. [ 05-06-2002, 01:42 PM: Message edited by: Epona ]

epona, i completely back you up on the hitler issue, but fortuyn, even though he had some smelly ideas, didn't deserve this. This is an attack on our democracy and in this case i would like to pull the trigger on the shooter myself.

For those who have never heard of dhr. Fortuyn, here is an interview the BBC had with him on the 7th of March this year...

Apology accepted Epona. Believe me, I would have agreed with most ways to remove Fortuyn from politics, and I am worried about the extreme right uprisings throughout Europe. My point however is that shooting someone for their opinion is worse fascism than anything I've heard from Fortuyn's beliefs so far. It is truly a crime against democracy.
Johnny - you're right. I don't know what the sick f*** who did it was thinking, but he should know that NO ONE here will thank him for it - he's made matters worse than anything else could have done: both by threatening our democracy and by probably having made a martyr out of Fortuyn.

Now what seems strange to me is why he was killed, I mean, however strongly they opposed him, he shouldn't have been shot, especially since he was only predicted a measly 15% in the elections.
And I doubt they could've not known that.

Ar-Cunin - would you please shut up for a moment? Why is it that when people die, all I see is people discussing politics. This man had friends and family, let's not turn this thread into a stupid debate out of respect for them.
Suffice to say that politically the man was bad news and YES, he was extreme right, so don't try to smooth that over. Regardless, he is dead now - quit the political cr*p.
