Sadly another emerging terror related attack, and the gun man is still at large according to media reports.

Police say the gunman is still at large. Trains and trams have stopped running and schools have been asked to keep their doors closed.

Counter-terror police reportedly say the shooting "appears to be a terrorist attack".

Dutch anti-terrorism co-ordinator Pieter-Jaap Aalbersberg said all efforts were now focused on catching the gunman. He also said there could be more than one perpetrator.

Seems to be getting zero coverage in the USA or fleeting at best.



Netherlands threat level raised to 5. First time in this city.

Yeah, mostly likely another reason the USA MSM won't cover it. This in one of the most gun controlled places in Europe.

Perhaps there's a reason you chose not to find the MSM USA coverage?

And neither platform has it front and center. Go figure out what the word "fleeting" means.



But I get why you defend those rags no matter what. Without it you can't blame the Nebraska floods on Trump.

What a sad state the media makes us live in if they are ignoring this latest attack because it does not advance the narrative of a white supremacist nut job with an assault weapon.

We get the same under reporting and big yawns at CNN when blacks murder blacks, migrants kill migrants, Muslims kill Muslims and when cops are forced to shoot white suspects but if a white guy goes on a rampage and kills one person that is not white the news explodes with outrage.



It is a sad state when the media decides the who what and where we should care about ?

No where on their home page. Not even a nice try. Go look up the word "fleeting".
