Plus, I'm not as obsessed about "false flag" stuff as some people, but ... whether the attack is just what it looked like or not, it has the effect of getting leftists all ludicrously "defiant" towards an extremely powerless and marginalized group.

What our friend so fond of the pejorative "fuzzlim" has been on about for years has never really gotten legs in the U.S. outside a conservatard fringe always quick to leap on an opportunity to put in killer-ape work, but this incident in Europe which has felt the sting of austerity for longer than the U.S. has folks mobilizing from across the political spectrum.
The post-colonial immigrant ghettos in Europe are now populated largely by Middle-Eastern, African, and North Africans who have not been assimilated into the political and economic mainstreams of their host countries. Absent a "War on Drugs" or some other facetious rallying cry under which the proxy eliminationist campaign can roll in earnest, what else do they have croak about so's they can get their gander up and let the killing games begin?
