In fact, one of the reasons for the ever harshening gun laws is that the Europeans shaun't be able to defend themselves against these animals.
Rifles for pest control.
Volkert was an animal rights activist. And he wanted to focus on that.
If you want to discuss a dutch murder with a fundamentalistic muslim involved, you'd better focus on the murder on Theo van Gogh. That was done by a fundamentalistic muslim. No doubt about that.
And just as Volkert vd G was just one apie, just one animal rights activist, and not an example of how all aspies and all animal rights activists are.
Just like that Mohammed B is not an example of how all muslims are.
Individual people, with individual extreme agendas.
