Chaos in the Netherlands

#1 Post by OFSO » Mon Mar 18, 2019 12:52 pm

Just been a random shooting in a tram in Utrecht. One dead, several injured. Police say terrorism not ruled out.

Amended: more shootings reported in Utrecht. Situation confused.

chaos
/ˈkeɪɒs/
noun
complete disorder and confusion.
"snow caused chaos in the region"
synonyms: disorder, disarray, disorganization, confusion, mayhem, bedlam, pandemonium, madness, havoc, turmoil, tumult, commotion, disruption, upheaval, furore, frenzy, uproar, hue and cry, babel, hurly-burly;
By what stretch of the imagination is this 'chaos'?

Murder, slaughter, mindless violence, acts of terrorism//lunacy etc would be more apposite.

Chaos may be the result, it is not the correct description for the act.

Cloggie coppers want to have a chat with a 39 year old Turk apparently, not sure whose side he is on with this.

I kinda figured the guy's name wouldn't be Smits.

Catalan elections delayed by a month as candidates all infected or not infected or about to be infected or have had it. Or are in prison. Or Belgium (which is about the same.)
