Suspect in deadly Dutch tram shooting appears in court

By Mike Corder, AP, July 1, 2019:


Dutch prosecutors say they have a “strong indication” that a man accused of fatally shooting four passengers on a tram in the central city of Utrecht in March had a “terrorist motive.” Prosecutors say that 37-year-old suspect Gokmen Tanis left a handwritten letter in a getaway car that said in Dutch: “I’m doing this for my religion, you kill Muslims and you want to take our religion away from us, but you won’t succeed.”

BRUSSELS (AP) — Dutch prosecutors said Monday they have a “strong indication” that a man accused of fatally shooting four passengers on a tram in the central city of Utrecht in March had a “terrorist motive.”

In a written statement following a preliminary hearing at Utrecht District Court, prosecutors said 37-year-old suspect Gokmen Tanis left a handwritten letter in a getaway car that said in Dutch: “I’m doing this for my religion, you kill Muslims and you want to take our religion away from us, but you won’t succeed. Allah is great.”

The March 18 shooting prompted authorities to advise Utrecht residents to stay indoors and to briefly raise the Dutch terror alert warning to its maximum level while police swarmed through the city hunting for the gunman.

Tanis, a Utrecht resident of Turkish descent, was arrested hours after the shooting and is being held on charges including multiple murder or manslaughter with terrorist intent for the deaths of three men and a woman. Two other people were seriously injured.

Prosecutors added that their suspicions of a terrorist motive also stem from two statements Tanis gave to an investigating judge before refusing to answer any further questions, and from the fact that he opened fire on people he did not know in a tram.

Prosecutors said in March that Tanis had confessed to the attack.

He will shortly be admitted to a specialist center to undergo psychological observation, prosecutors said. His trial is expected to start early next year.

The language we use gives our wiring away. Notice how he says you want to take our religion away from us. This is a moment of transference. They want to take our religion away from us, not the other way around.

what we want is for their religion to not take our religion and values away from us. Islam and Christianity, and any other religion really because Islam is in conflict with humanity, are not compatible.

their religious agenda is to spread Islam to all the world and either by force, or by killing off everyone who is not a Muslim, they intend to do so. of course, I would love to take their religion away from them just like you take away dangerous, abusive things from your children.

Islamists, Marxists, and Democrats are tyrants
– they all grab all the power and money
– and subjugate the citizenry [e.g., Detroit]
– so people need to know how to fight tyrants
– 3 recent developments strengthen your case
– 1. new economic data that shows tyrant socialism
– causes extreme poverty in all countries
– Cuba $20/month, Venezuela $4/mo, 1 Ruble = 1.5 cents
– Nicaragua, Bolivia, Venezuela, Uruguay, etc all poor socialists
– 2. the logical causes of socialist poverty are now known
– tyrant socialists are just ordinary tyrants
– who lie about their intent to grab all the power and money
– and impoverish the citizenry to facilitate subjugation
– Aristotle, ‘Politics’ 350 BC free online
– describes socialist tyrants so precisely
– that is is possible to predict socialists’ behavior
– 3. New evidence shows that the key to world poverty
– is the democratic free-enterprise constitutional republic
– and that removes the justification for socialism

Nothing like promulgating the lie of the “islamist”. Please point out to me one muslum, one imam, one mullah, one aytrollah, one mosque, one islamic state, one islamic NGO that self-identifies as “islamist”. Just one.

I am Dutch. The Dutch left winged government trash will refuse to protect us, the people, by all means possible. Dito for extremist left wing “judges” trash. Muslimscum is protected at all cost. So this garbage that should have death penalty (exists only in civilized countries like the USA) will be getting away with some garden shuffling.

Thank you???? The fact is, most Dutch, as most Western-Europeans, are brain dead left winged zombies. That’s what they vote for, and that’s why this filthy left winged garbage trash rules politics. In The Netherlands we only have Geert Wilders as a politician who tries to save our country, but by the majority of left winged brain dead zombie voters he is considered “a far right nazi”, or something like that. ONLY because he wants to get rid of the filthy cancer poison.

There is this collective feeling in Europe that, due to World War 2 – what happened to the Jews in the gas chambers – you should be open and welcoming to barbarian third world inbred trash that openly shits on their hosts, rapes, assaults, abuses and robs their hosts, and makes one’s country completely unliveable. And starts a new war against Jews in Europe (50% of Jews in europe think about fleeiing to Israel, according to local news sources). Unfortunately the USA has immigration laws that makes it impossible for people from Western-European to migrate to the land of the free; I have a university degree, no criminal record, no debt, and 250.000 dollars in savings. I am not welcome in the USA… At the same time, the most useless garbage is welcome in the USA, to live on welfare and bring in their inbred useless family, “on humanitarian grounds”. To think my ancestors co-founded the USA and helped build it, and I am not allowed in to bring in additional investment money, knowledge and labor, because I am from Western-Europe, The Netherlands… It’s a most stupid world, dear friends ????

You might benefit from contacting an attorney who specializes in immigration difficulties – such as here: https://www.shusterman.com/senateusimmigration/

The Holocaust certainly plays a part in the guilt-ridden masochism that holds sway in Western Europe – but I think the real problem is, to put it simply – a failure of nerve.
