As an American currently beating my pillow because of the insane impotent proboscis locked into a jihadist’s alimentary canal no scrotum excuse for a man sitting in The White House, my best comment to the Belgians is “GEAUX TEAM!”

Muslim “Community Leaders” in Belgium will soon be squealing like stuck little haram pigs to their nearest liberal media source while snorting and oiking epithets about about they’re being so very very oppressed in a western nation that enjoys more freedoms than the pig sty countries they came from....

Prosecutor says suspects “immediately and for several minutes opened fire with military weaponry and handguns on the special units of the federal police before they were neutralised”.

Looks like the “2 dead” figure is holding up, maybe one wounded, we know how news services trying to scoop foul up a lot of stories.

Rush was quoting someone as saying they may have averted a “Belgian Charles Hebdo”.
