Security were only a couple of feet from the suspect. They had SECONDS to prevent this, right Infront of their eyes, while he outstretched his arm with gun in plain sight. Instead they just stood still and only flinched, when the shots rang out!! They failed.

Good he needs to be in jail for a long long time

Details about person are purposely left out. What are they hiding?

What do you think is being hidden?

Political tribalism is the greatest threat to peace.

[@DaleHartley]

no, not the greatest, but yes one of the top ones. Religion holds the greatest spot because it is often used for so many other reasons. For instance, the fighting over places like Jerusalem, were political and monetary in nature, but they were cloaked in religion.

[@kapitankapital6580]

​@@DaleHartley stupid opinion about religion? Check. Pagan symbol as profile picture? Check.

[@Skygrey2943]

​@DaleHartley Relgion and Patriotism is how the ruling class sell the fight to the poor.

[@DaleHartley]

@@Skygrey2943 to an extent, but patriotism is relatively new, most in the past fought for individuals not countries. Religion existed and I imagine justified actions before countries or money. So they represent their own class on top of politics, BUT I will agree that in the modern world you are exactly right.

What have we learned since the assassination of JFK .... Apparently nothing.

[@DaleHartley]

actually this is more in line with John Lennon, and Reagan's attempted assassination. JFK was a sniper from a distance.

[@andio3i766]

The difference is that JFK was the leader of the free world and not a pro russian socialist, so who cares?

[@user-og8hp2qu5f]

Useless security

[@readthrough978]

Why is the BBC avoiding to use the word "terrorist" to describe this incident?

[@anonymousperson9279]

Because maybe the shooter is not a terrorist? Maybe the shooter is just a political operative, agent for a foreign nation or a local who hates him just as much as people hate Putin, XI, and Trudeau.

[@luluah1198]

Because he’s Caucasian and non Muslim . Apparently no one is a terrorist apart from exotic looking Muslims 😂

[@manifestingcocreator3221]

Always a so called lone wolf! More like a sleeper assassin

[@MarkARhodie]

Braiwashed and manipulated. IMO

[@user-th7gd7ge4p]

this was an organised terrorist group not a "lonely wolf" assassin. note the couples on each side of the assassin holding the barrier so that the security could not reach him. the accomplices kept eye contact with him before and during the shooting. this is your work soros & co.

[@angushogg3667]

Total fantasy from deranged and misled conspiracy theorists. No doubt many will believe it.

[@adrianlouw2499]

Lesson: If you're a PM of a nation do not question Nato's war with Russia and do NOT go against Big Pharma by ordering investigations into their vaccines...

[@SubjectiveFunny]

Its kinda scary that you lump those two issues together... I see a MASSIVE distinction between the two. Your opinions are clouded by the media. Be careful, you are not rational right now. Good luck.

[@darugdawg2453]

true

[@DaleHartley]

NATO is not at war with russia. NATO is helping to support a country that was brutally attacked by Putin for leaving his string of puppets. As to big pharma... you think they would do it so publicly? Pfft guess again bud. ( please note I am NOT saying big pharma might not kill someone against them.... I am simply saying it would not be loud like this.

[@newprofilesowhat1339]

NATO isn't at war with Russia...........yet

[@baibamennika4480]

People said that shooters wife is Ukrainian. Can we have clear information about his name and whether his wife is Ukrainian? If you don't give that information then you want to hide reality
