BREAKING: ‘Knifeman’ brandishes weapon at Belgian train station police – shots fired

A MAN has been shot after reportedly brandishing a knife at an on-duty policeman in the Belgian city of Ghent, officials have revealed just days after the nation reduced their terror threat level for the first time in two years.

By Vincent Wood, The Express, January 23, 2018

Officials are yet to confirm the motive of the incident.

The incident took place outside the Gent-st-Pietrea station to the south of the City’s centre.

The area is currently on police lockdown – however train services are believed to still be in operation.

Regional officials have confirmed investigations are ongoing.

Spokeswoman for the regional Prosecutor An Schoonjans said: “A shooting incident happened at the station of Gent-Sint-Pieters.

“The railway police have fired at a man with a knife.

“The man was taken to the hospital and injured and is in danger.

“We investigate the exact circumstances of the facts.”

Investigations are ongoing

A student who witnessed the incident said: “The man first entered the station loudly”.”Then he pulled a knife and held it in the air.“When the police ordered the man to lay down his knife, he refused.”The man reportedly also entered a shop across the road before the incident – where he also brandished the weapon.The shopkeeper said he “looked desperate” during the exchange.Belgium reduced its national threat level on Monday, saying a militant attack had become less likely almost two years after bombings killed 32 people in Brussels.

The government reduced the threat level to two on a four-tier scale, indicating a medium risk.

Authorities had been on alert at level three for the serious chance of an attack since the bombings on March 22, 2016.

The infidel Belgium cops are stoopid for not respecting the moslems

They shouldn’t have shot that guy. Instead, the infidel cops should have offered themselves to be stabbed, slashed, and be cut to pieces

After all, it is the duty of infidels to honor the wish of their moslem masters to kill them

Nothing to worry about indeed.

The crème de la crème of Belgian newspapers:

Het Laatste Nieuws reports: “Terror for the moment excluded, man was Afghan with serious psychological problems”: https://www.hln.be/nieuws/binnenland/man-die-agenten-aanviel-met-mes-in-gent-sint-pieters-is-28-jarige-afghaan-terreur-voorlopig-uitgesloten~ae67e99e

De Standaard writes: “Man with knife in Ghent has serious psychological problems”: http://www.standaard.be/cnt/dmf20180123_03316895

The man is being treated in hospital. Luckily filthy infidel taxpayer is on hand to finance the treatment. The hospital staff will do its best to provide halal food.

Belgium was one of the most beautiful, orderly, clean countries in Europe prior to the #MuslimInvasion. To revisit it now would likely bring me to tears. The sad part is that the changes took place in an alarmingly short time. Watch out, Americans, drastic change to our freedoms can happen here too if we aren’t alert!

Odd, I always found them to be American usually Chriistian. But you know that,The US has more homicides per head of population than any other first world country. That’s why you all claim to need so many guns.. But it’s a chicken and egg thing.

Donald Trump asked why more Norwegians don’t migrate to the US. Well that is one reason.albeit one of a number of sound reasons. Perhaps you could try and migrate to Norway
Apart from his finding that “shithole’ çomparisons work both ways.

My soon to be son in law is an immigrant from Norway, there are Scandinavians all over the place. Why do some people have to stick their noses into other’s business? Some people collect guns, some people hunt or target shoot. Personally I have never owned more than about 30 rifles and 8 pistols. They are cheaper than coins or stamps, and have good resale value. Perhaps you should get out more, or pay closer attention to what you are calling “christian”. One person’s shithole is another person’s mosque.

Only 38 guns!! you seem set for Las Vegas.
Yes, indeed, why do people have to stick there noses into other’s business. I basically asked the same f i think Hussar16 here about week ago, he told me that the US was ‘liberating’ other countries, whether they wanted it or not.
The US has spent the last over half a century sticking it’s nose into other countries”business

The whole reason for this page of Pams is to stick ultra right noses into other people’s business. But NEVER ever th eir own shortcomings.’

AS you say”some people collect guns, some people hunt or target shoot”some people go to a school, concert,mall and get a hell of a hoot from shooting as many people as they can..
harmless fun,of course. But remember when you tell Europeans that Europe his doomed, you can’t blame them for laughing.

In 2016 only 362 people migrated from Norway to the US. the least of any European country.
In addition Norway ranks first in “happiness’, USA ranks 14, it ranks first for political freedom, US ranked 45, Most prosperity , US rank 18. I do hope your new Son-in-law can adapt.

If he was from France, he might miss the beautiful built environment. A strictly secular government, an efficient TVG network { How the hi speed rail from say NY to LA going? Last we heard it fell off a bridge at about 40 mph on its first rum. Perhaps you could contratc the french,Chinese or Japanese to build one for you.
.. he’d miss the personal safety in public places,and the decent food, and the noticeably more slender people at home.

Hmm guns might be cheaper than coins or stamps , but coins and stamps don’t kill many people.

So? Guns kill fewer people than abortion clinics. It sounds like you have never lived in real wilderness, where a gun is a tool. Cities, tend to have leftzo’s as tools, they are of no real use. Visit a mental institution the happiness people are in the idiot/democrat wards. There is no point in telling western europeans they are doomed, their culture, country, heritage and national wealth are gone, spend on importing muslim parasites. Experience is the best teacher, the lessons of islamic invasion are being seen.

Oh dear , are you one of those people who believe a life is so sacred that you bomb abortion clinics and kill doctors to prove it. Si I suppose using contraception is as bad as abortion , But , dman it,ordinary pregnancies have a high rate of a natural failure [ abortion]
And like the Irish catholics believe that arape victim should be forced to carry the child to birth.

have a listen to Monty Pythons “Every sperm is sacred every sperm is great ,If a sperm is wasted, God gets most irate….. Abortion clinics kill foetuses not people. Untila foetus is developed enough for independent living and awareness, it is just a collection of cells

Thirty rifles, is about right. Not nearly high enough a number for fowling pieces. Although, on sidearms, if I don’t count my wife’s … that’s close to a tie.

Around here, guns are sort of like jewelry, one tends to collect them just because one does not have one in the collection. Several people I personally know have collections of over 100, they can only shoot one at a time, but apparently they like to have a choice or are indecisive. Years ago there were a few girls who more or less hunted together, most have been collected by Valkyries, they used to be them. Time is a bitch.

My wife views the site, from time to time … Judas, just the number of fowling pieces that I have acquired, since she left for Japan (around two months ago) … she’d start rummaging through my sword collection for my appropriate punishment. And, there’s a little over a month left … Don’t even have to sneak them into the safe(s).

Some people just don’t appreciate the finer things. Horizontal shotgun with external hammers are ever so lovely. Gave a .410 in that configuration to grandson. He is a bit young for a 12 gauge right now.

I’ve always preferred the sleek looks of a hammerless sxs. My first .410 was a single shot, exposed hammer, when I was nine .. and, no matter what anyone said, that bagged more than a few pheasants. Didn’t make the move to a 20 gauge until I was eleven. Never have used a twelve, in the field, just for trap and open bore skeet.
