“The military was deployed”? Aren’t the euro countries’ troops usually dressed in ill-fitting uniforms and participating in some sort of ridiculous parade or such?
We’re all joking here, but this is SERIOUS CRAP. A few years ago I read something that scared the daylights out of me, and now seems to be coming true. It said that Europe simply doesn’t have enough cops and military men to even defend themselves against an unarmed assault...they simply don’t exist given the ‘end’ of the Cold War and what was a low crime rate.
Frightening.
