Netherlands Islamic State terrorist who opened fire on morning commuter train is captured

One crackpot eco-fascist shoots up a mosque, and everyone on the right is guilty. But daily jihad attacks in the cause of Islam have nothing to do with Islam. Got that? Here’s the Muslim take on the Netherlands terror attack:

Netherlands tram shooting suspect captured, police say

FOX News, March 18, 2019:

A Turkish man was captured Monday, hours after he was identified as the suspect who allegedly gunned down three people and wounded several others on a Netherlands tram in an apparent terror attack, Dutch police said.

Gökmen Tanis, from Turkey, was accused of opening fire about 10:45 a.m. local time near 24 Oktoberplein junction in the Dutch city of Utrecht, located about 22 miles southeast of Amsterdam. The 37-year-old suspect was taken into custody during a raid, police in Utrecht said. Heavily armed anti-terror officers were captured on video earlier gathering in front of an apartment block close to the scene of the initial attack of the tram.

Utrecht Mayor Jan van Zanen, who initially said nine people were wounded, said three of those injured remain in critical condition on Monday.

“We cannot exclude, even stronger, we assume a terror motive,” van Zanen previously said.

Netherlands Counter-Terrorism Agency head Pieter-Jaap Aalbersberg said in a Monday afternoon news conference that the gunman opened fire in several locations.

“In Utrecht, there was a shooting at several locations,” Aalbersberg told reporters. “A lot is still unclear at this point and local authorities are working hard to establish all the facts.”

Few details have been released about Tanis since police identified him as a suspect in the deadly shooting. Dutch prosecutor Rutger Jeuken said in a news conference Tanis had been previously arrested but did not provide further details.

The suspect’s father, Mehmet Tanis, who lives in Turkey’s central Kayseri province, told the private Demiroren news agency that he hadn’t spoken to his son in 11 years. He said, “if he [his son] did it, he should pay the penalty.”

The attack prompted a citywide lockdown while the country’s counter-terror office raised the threat level to maximum. Van Zanen earlier called the shooting a “horrible and radical incident” and said his “thoughts are with” the victims and their loved ones.

“The most important thing at the moment is taking care of the wounded and investigating the circumstances of the incident. We do not exclude anything, not even a terrorist attack,” he said in a statement.

Photos and videos showed officials cordoning off the area near the tram. A witness told Dutch news site NU.nl that “a man started shooting wildly.” Another witness told Dutch broadcaster NOS he encountered a woman with blood on her hands and clothes at the scene.

In neighboring Germany, police stepped up their surveillance of the Dutch border.

Police in the central Dutch city of Utrecht said that "multiple" people have been injured as a result of a shooting in a tram in a residential neighborhood.

New York City Police Commissioner James O’Neill said the NYPD was closely monitoring the shooting.

“#NYPD is closely monitoring reports of a shooting on a tram near Utrecht Central Station, the Netherlands’ main transportation hub. There does not appear to be a #NYC nexus at this time. A manhunt is ongoing & the motive is so far unknown. We ask everyone to always remain alert,” the commissioner said.

The Netherlands shooting comes only days after a self-avowed white nationalist opened fire inside two New Zealand mosques, killing 50 people and injuring dozens more.

It is typical for the supposedly “liberal” Western press to harm its own population. They have made the lunatic indivi-
dual perpetrator at the other end of the world in New Zealand famous, that we now have to reckon with the worst as
far as such allegedly “confused” individual perpetrators of Muslim provenance are concerned, all of whom of course had only a “bad childhood” and therefore need all our sympathy. The merry-go-round of madness turns ever faster.

I am not a pessimist and believe in positive change overall. But as a so-called German
politician named de Maizière said: “We will have to learn to live with terror”. And the child-
less spectre of terror “Mama Merkel” said: “Well, now they are here!” (Message: who ca-
res!) By that she meant the hosts of Islamic rapists and “endangers” (what used to be cal-
led sleepers, i.e. ticking time bombs). The wonderful new Pakistani mayor of Londonistan,
Sadiq Khan, announced something similar: “The attacks belong to our big cities.” Every one
of us can be happy and grateful if he or she does not live in any medium-sized or large city
in the West, where today one no longer wants to leave one’s children alone on the street.

They must vote properly, vote better, and get involved in their political party so they may challenge the what their current leaders are doing and have done.
This is the way of the world and shall always be so. There shall always be struggle. There appear to be many forces pitted against people who simply wish to live decently, and like they remember from decades past, when our lives were better. Vote. Get out and vote.

DM has it that it was a family matter, and a 37 year old was the target.
No sex of family member though.

And the left will not hardly say anything about THIS, unlike when their media was up in arms and screaming over that other incident.

Wait! Don’t tell me, let me guess. The suspect was of “Asian” descent, mentally imbalanced, and known to authorities, right?

As long as the corrupt media runs cover for these savages, the further and more frequently they will push the envelope.

When was the last time you saw a media reference to 9/11?

If there were no Muslims in the Netherlands this would not have happened. Turn rattle snake loose they will bite people if they have the chance.

Just remember that it’s extremely dangerous to assume that only poor Hispanics are crossing our unsecured boarders. A muslim kills forty nine gays in America and no one blames Obama but when forty nine are murdered by some nut in New Zealand, it’s Trump’s faught. Didn’t Obama kill off or severely aulter the law on using propaganda on the citizens? (National alliance act) Well it’s working.

I checked world news this am and saw absolutely nothing about this, nor yesterday. This is the only place I know of to get significant world news.

First of all get the facts right it was tram not a train, trams travel in city streets. One report I read said he first shot a relative who was with him then when passengers tried to intervene he shot them as well

Three people are dead and nine injured, three in critical condition. He cared not for the lives of others, and should not have shot his relative to begin with.

Do not forget the murder of the heroic Dutch filmmaker, author and journalist Theo Van Gogh by a Muslim turd. This is just another slaughter than goes on daily in Europe and Holland and will not stop until this vermin is expelled.
