The only good thing about this attack is, that the killer did not do his cause any good (in the contrary I hope the european countries will now focus more on the right wing nuts we have here).
Still, so many dead... its a hefty price for being blind on the right eye. :/

Indeed. Though what scares me is that this attack really shows the undercurrent of islamophobic xenophobia running through Europe at the moment. The only thing that makes me feel at all secure is that they haven't yet unified in any meaningful way.
We have to push things towards cosmopolitanism, am I right?
