Jesus, I can only assume it's a neo nazi attack, given the proximity to the synagogue.
they are now saying a hilton hotel and a restaurant also had incidents, but it may be the same attacker

Lone terrorists are a threat but when they start working in pairs that's really scary.

...it’s reported that the suicide vest was fake...so concerning that one of the attackers is still free and out there...

Everything that is happening in the world at the moment is terrifying....we have terror threats, virus threats, increasing poverty, political unrest just about everywhere. Awful times we are living rbrough.
My thoughts are with those affected in Vienna and everywhere else :sad:

...yeah, I was just thinking how surreal it feels...from track and trace very much focused to SWAT and search...2020 is relentless, Annie...
everyone just wants some normality in their lives that they can latch on to rather than constant chaos. These are just crazy times

Every day at the moment brings a little more crazy too.
The election results tomorrow will bring their own brand of crazy too and I fear it will not be pretty.
...yeah I agree, the election results will add to the crazy, I think...I think that so far as the USA goes...it’s been crazy for 4 years there because Trump encourages so much division etc...but we usually have distractions from ‘crazy’ ...they’re not such a focus as they are atm and have been because of COVID restrictions to our lives to focus on negatives and crazies in a way that we never have before...

It is Annie, it's like so much and so many of the World's gone mad.
A tragedy and incident like this, made light of with wild and ridiculous possibly statements, never helps to solve anything either
At any loss of life, my thoughts always go out for those whose lives have been cruelly taken, plus my thoughts with those now bereaved.
You are right, it's terrifying.
Because it now appears that solutions to what's happening are almost non existent at present sadly too.
Awful times indeed.

Terrible, inexcusable attack. Really lucky (ridiculous in the context of the dead and injured) that the synagogue and it's offices were closed or it could have been a lot, lot worse.
The attacker was a known terrorist and was jailed for wanted to join ISIS but was release last December after it was deemed he would not hurt anyone
Of course. 99.9% of the time the attacker is known to Police for at least threatening acts of terrorism. The current system is obviously not working.

Aren't they the same thing? Though granted, Islamic terror is much bigger threat.

yes i know, i posted about them earlier, but i couldn't find a english tweet earlier
they are true heroes (they are at the Turkish commando forces, so they basically had the experience too for scenario's like this, just happened to be there coincidentally, but i guess you can call this bit of luck for that officer they had saved)
