Hostage and shooting in Belgium, Blvd. evacuated

Shootout in Belgium That Killed Three People Probed as Terror Attack

“The attacker was reportedly identified as a Belgian citizen, Benjamin Herman, born in 1982, already known to the police for a number of criminal cases, according to RTL info.

He recently left prison, where he contacted extremist prisoners, the agency asserts.”

(I wonder wonder what, an extremist prisoner, might be. One would think that being in prison might suggest a degree of extremism alone, would it not?)

The Express has it here as well:

The gunman opened fire on a police patrol in the centre of Liege, Belgium, killing two officers, both female, and a male passer-by. 

 

He is believed to have then taken a woman hostage in a school as more police rushed to the scene. 

The city’s public prosecutor confirmed the attack was being investigated as a terrorist incident.

 

He said the man attacked the two officers from behind with a knife, took one of their guns and shot them both dead. He also shot dead a young man who was the passenger in a parked car and took refuge in a school where he was killed in a subsequent gunfight during which several other police were wounded.

æLa Libre Belgique newspaper quoted a police source as saying the gunman shouted “Allahu Akbar” – “God is greatest” in Arabic – and RTBF said investigators believed the attacker may well have had a terrorist motive.”

VIDEO: Father and son in hospital after a fight at pita bar in Antwerp

Yesterday (12 May 2018) a fight broke outside a pita bar at the Rooseveltplaats in Antwerp. Two men, a father and his son, were sitting on the terrace drinking alcohol but that was not to the liking of the owner, who does not sell alcohol. It turned into a serious fight.

“The manager had approached the men about their behavior and then a scuffle started. It looked like a massive brawl but apparently there were also a lot of bystanders. ”

“The two men were taken to hospital for treatment for their injuries. One of them also had a broken leg, so the consequences can be termed serious,” said spokesman Wouter Bruyns.

Politician Filip Dewinter (Vlaams Belang) posted a video of the brawl on Twitter.

[Ed: it is nearly impossible to find this video on Youtube by searching for component terms. More evidence that Alphabet/Google/Youtube is trying to make sure people use right think by only allowing people to see material that goes against the globalist/Islamic narrative if they know exactly what the title is. If you search for component terms, you typically get material showing the opposite scenarios, or ones which force the left-narrative.]

(This makes a nice contrast with a story from last month about some muslims that brought their own booze to a Czech restaurant, were politely asked not to bring and drink their own liquor at a private restaurant, and then proceeded to beat the waiter into a coma from which he may never recover. So the rule, should one choose to extrapolate one, is that when it comes to anything, whatever the muslim does is the right thing. Infidel drinking? results in a beating. Infidel asking muslims not to drink where illegal or inappropriate, results in a beating.)

Founder of “Islam” party treats Belgian women like trash during TV debate

Redouane Ahrouch, the founder and the president of Belgium’s “Islam” party, refused to look women in the eye during a TV debate. He also didn’t shake their hands. One of the women said she felt “humiliated” and “worthless” afterwards, Belgian newspaper Gazet van Antwerpen reports. 

When the Islam party was created, one of its goals was to promote better integration of Belgium’s Muslim population. But, just after Ahrouch had been elected, he switched his position and recently said he wants to create an Islamic State in Belgium.

Kabab knife wielding person yells “Allah hu Acbar” as they attack Belgian police

Tard lives matters?

BBC:

CNN:

Although they put in the allah hu ackbar part, probably because RT reported it first, they still managed to make a kabab knife into a machete. I suppose one could call that the new alchemy of the Marxist press. We are assuming it was a Kabab knife because Machetes are pretty much a thing of the Americas and Kabab knives are common in the Muslim population in Europe. Can’t see why there would be a lot of machetes there.

 

When the Brussels police lends his microphone for a call for prayer

An original translation by Ava Lon with much thanks

From The Liberty Belgium Website:

On the Friday night, several hundred people gathered outside the Turkish Embassy, Montoyer street in Brussels to show their support for President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.The Brussels-Ixelles police first was only watching the gathering, before requesting reinforcements from other areas, given the crowds. No incidents were reported.
However, on social networks, this video created controversy. We see police officers lend the microphone of one of their vehicles to an individual so he could use it to initiate a call to prayer. Sitting in the passenger seat, a man, microphone in hand, is singing for five minutes.

The comments below the video are mixed. Some see it as a sign of respect. Others resent the fact and speak of “total submission by the Yvan Mayeur police.” The police zone Brussels-Ixelles, wouldn’t confirm the facts yet.”Other areas came to assist. We therefore cannot confirm that this is a vehicle of our patrol. We are currently investigating internally to find out who owns the vehicle, what police officers were present at the time of the facts, but also to determine the identity of the individual who took the microphone, “said Ilse Van de Keere, spokesman for the Brussels-Ixelles police zone.
