   Sounds like y’all need better gun education in Europe. Is it a common belief over there that guns are just loud toys or something? 

2. >The suspect, identified as 71-year-old Juraj C., told investigators that he acted alone and had no intention of killing Fico, whom he shot at close range after a government meeting northeast of Bratislava on May 15, according to the document, which Bloomberg received after making a request to the court for information on the case.

   Doubt that such attacks will reverse Slovakia’s policies.

4. Just more russian fascists in Europe.

5. Considering the shooter was photographed in a pro-russia rally then I assume he has an issue with Slovakia still selling equipment to Ukraine?

6. Oh no, what happend with “he was in the same photo with a pro-Russian group, so Russia is definitely behind this assassination attempt”?

7. So he wants to put the blame on Ukraine, and russians are happy to spread this.

   Then why did you shoot several bullets into him? Life isn’t a movie or a video game, you know?

10. Did he shoot him to then blame the Ukrainian cause? He’s pro-Russian after all; the shooter. No?

11. None of these articles use the T word. He used violence for political reasons.
