2020 Nice Stabbing
- rglover 6y agoWhy did this all of a sudden drop off the front page?
- secretsatan 6y agoIt happened today and maybe treating it as a joke isn't all that appropriate?

- rglover 6y agoThe stabbing took place in Nice, France. OP wasn't codifying it as a "nice stabbing."
- janwillemb 6y agoApart from how terrible this is, I was wondering how this works. I'd say it is quite hard to cut off a head with a "knife" in a short period of time without other people interfering.
- s9w 6y agoWell this might sound odd, but I've seen some videos.. it's very likely not just a kitchen knife. I've only seen this happening with large blades. And then it actually happens surprisingly fast. I imagine they "train" somehow to get some routine. But either way, I can't see anyone interfering with something like that going down.
- kgwxd 6y agoAccording to a source equally reliable as this (Reddit), someone tried to interfere but got stabbed.
- moooo99 6y agoSounds very likely. As much as one might want to help, unless your trained in self defense or you have some kind of weapon yourself, I'd imagine its really hard to interfere. Especially if the attacker is trained, the outlook for people trying to help isn't exactly great.
- s9w 6y agoSo just for the record. By now there's photos, and the blade looks long but not very broad. Looks like a filet knife I would say.
- voisin 6y agoWhy has there been so much Islamic terrorism in France?
- rglover 6y agoNobody will talk about it honestly, but: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_migrant_crisis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_migrant_crisis
- voisin 6y agoI understand there has been an influx of migrants. Are you saying they’ve entered France in disproportionate numbers or are disproportionately marginalized relative to migrants to other European countries, and this is causing excess hostility in France? I just don’t understand why France is experiencing this differently than Belgium or Germany or Italy, etc etc.
- rglover 6y agoI'm saying that there has been an influx of migrants from countries that are dominated by Islam https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_in_Syria https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_in_Syria (the faith the most recent beheading attacks were attributed to). What each country is doing differently to manage and accommodate refugees I can't say, but it stands to reason that a large influx of people from a wildly different culture will create problems like the attacks we've been seeing. For at least two of the attacks (2015 with Charlie Hebdo and the teacher a few weeks back), they involved a slight against the Islam faith. This most recent one appears to be related to religious differences given the context. Edit: Apparently today's attack was performed by a Tunisian refugee where Islam is the state religion: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/oct/29/nice-church-attacker-identified-as-21-year-old-tunisian-man https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/oct/29/nice-church-at...
