Three Danes

I really don’t know what to say about the vicious attacks last weekend in Copenhagen. I’ve been hearing some talk about the possibility that they weren’t acts of terrorism, but random violence by a young man with gangs in his background.

Well, let me just point out that shooting up a café where Swedish political cartoonist Lars Vilks (who travels with bodyguards because of death threats from Islamists) was participating in a discussion on free speech, followed by firing on a synagogue, does not seem all that random to me. Especially only a month after the Charlie Hebdo/kosher supermarket murders.

So let me just leave you with three names:

Dan Uzan, 37, shot while on security duty outside the Great Synagogue early Sunday morning.

Documentarian Finn Noergaard, 55, murdered at the café on Saturday.

Alleged shooter Omar el-Hussein, 22, only recently released from prison; killed on Sunday by Danish police after he fired on them.

A [Jewish] community volunteer, a film maker and a thug. Make of that what you will.
