A Turkish assailant stabbed and wounded a Belgian politician in Liege, Belgium.

Belgian Labor Party (PTB) Spokesperson and federal parliamentarian Raoul Hedebouw was stabbed during the May Day events in Liege. Hedebouw got injured in his leg and taken to hospital after the attack.

Belgian press reported that the assailant is Turkish and requested a Turkish speaking translator for his testimony. The assailant is reported to have a prior criminal record at police.

Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel condemned the attack on parliamentarian Raoul Hedebouw and expressed his opposition to all forms of violence as he wished Hedebouw a speedy recovery.

In a bold action of EU solidarity, Merkel immediately sent a box of Band-Aids to Belgium.

Yep, I’m in process of posting a statement along those lines.

Looks like Erdogan finally insulted enough people to end the EU membership thing.

He definately has a record now. Will he do any time for the crime or is he on a stab and release program?

I see no evidence of a motive. I wonder what could have triggered this unexpected attack.

I don’t see any pattern at all, just 31,000 isolated incidents since 9/11/2001. I am clueless on what might cause this.

He? Belgium?

Yes, and we have some of our own. And the Obozo court appointees are doing all they can to continue the importation.

Nope, they just decided to vastly increase the number of peaceful muslims imported to provide a check on the vanishingly few 'lone wolves'...
