12.00 - Reports of an incident in Schaffhausen
A major police operation is under way in the northern Swiss city of Schaffhausen after an incident involving an unknown perpetrator.
The owner of a shop in the area told Blick that a man with a chainsaw was walking the streets, and that pedestrians and residents had been asked to leave shops and apartments.
Witnesses said at least one person had been injured.
A spokeswoman for air rescue service Rega told 20 Minuten it had mobilized two helicopters.
“This is not a terrorist attack, say police.”
Sigh.
Just as I suspected. A blonde-haired, blue-eyed Swiss.
This was a terrorist attack
He is probably angry because he just found out it is not a Cadillac.
A chainsaw?
Well, it’s not like he snuck up on people like someone with a gun or a knife could do.
I guess he might’ve been using one of those “save the earf” electric chainsaws. But then there’s the problem of the extension cord.
Husqvarna is hoping it was a Poulan saw.
We may never know what triggered the Muhammadan to do this.
One can just tell his IQ has dropped into the vegetable zone.
Yep, just as suspected.
Liberals LOVE their word games... AS IF everyone is as stupid and confused as THEY are and will buy into their BS
Also, being imprecise (I suspect - deliberately) about words and their meanings... buys a LOT of wiggle room.
And, Liberals have a crying need for ‘wiggle room’. You could say it’s an ‘existential’ need, because without it they can’t pass themselves off with even a gram of sanity.
“They warn he is dangerous”
Gee, ya think !?
The only thing that stops a bad guy with a chainsaw...
In a country that almost demands its citizens be armed why’d he get away with just the first attack?
They have Amish in Switzerland? Who knew?
He kinda looks like Ernest T. Bass.
“The only thing that stops a bad guy with a chainsaw...”
...is a good guy with a timber harvester. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuuPI2hyt6M
Actually, I think he looks more like Robert Reich without a beard.
“This is not a terrorist attack, say police.”
That must be a relief to the victims.
