Thread 'The Brabant Killers (Band of Nivelles/Nijvel)'

Dec 17, 2024

Earlier this year, in June 2024, Belgian police finally closed the mysterious case of the Brabant Killers. No arrests were made, everyone is still clueless about the identity and motives behind those senseless killings that took place in Belgium in the early to mid-1980s. I propose we have a retrospective here of the case, the gazillions of mistakes that were made by police, and the victims.

Post in thread 'Austria - Mass School Shooting - Multiple fatalities and injuries - Graz - 10 June 2025'

Jun 10, 2025

I wonder if him attacking on the day students were taking final exams was a bit "symbolic" for him. This wasn't an ordinary day--it was the day when the students were ready to pass their exams and start their adult lives (I'm assuming "secondary school" in Austria is like high school in the US). If he can't have a successful adulthood, nobody can.
