this is just an amazing thing. The anti-immigrant backlash will be huge. European left will really begin to question themselves, whoever the shooter turns out to be.

Any comment from the White House yet? European political leader assassinated and all that stuff.

I know the reaction is pouring in to Dutch websites right now.
