So, due to the lack of moderation, the need of people to speak up and how the Brexit thread went, I thought it would be useful to keep all the conversations related on the current terrorism wave in Europe in one place so they don't bother other users (as they can easily skip the thread) and the conversations are centralized.
Naturally, as it's a sensitive subject it will be hard to keep it civil but at least posts which go deeper than "kill them all" should be encouraged. Some general questions to bump some global issues: what has led to this situation? Do you think your governement is doing enough to prevent new acts? What would you do to remedy the situation in legal ways if you were a politician?
