Aaah de Marollen... Fun times walking from primary school to the swimming pool at Vossenplein dodging rocks and bottles thrown by kids our age that apparently didn't need to go to school. That was 30 years ago.
Go on a school visit to the market, get accused of breaking something and be chased by a mob back to the bus. That was 20years ago.
Busy night in Brussels then... The photo on the Le Soir article is really out of date - since the metro/airport attacks, that station is brimming with security cameras now, so I'm sure they'll know who did it.
Edit: this was last night, but having been past the station today the damage really is nothing because I didn't notice it!
I don't understand, in the article it is said that it occured yesterday evening, but that politician from Brussels says that it's not related to the attack on the military that happened today...
Or is there a type and the molotov attack occured today as well?
Edit; Maybe he was simply saying the attack on the soldiers was not a consequence of the molotov attack. I thought he was discarding the opposite scenario (which is not possible if the information are correct)
You know, I'm trying to work that out too. I go past that police station on a regular basis - I didn't notice anything yesterday, or this evening, and I saw elsewhere on a feed it was tonight, but Le Soir says last night.. I think it was last night, not tonight.
Clearly the damage was really insignificant as they say because it's business as usual there today. I guess I assumed it was tonight since I really saw nothing there this afternoon.
any dutch source? not a single newspaper in dutch reported on this so far...
I can't find one at the moment. I think it turned out to be such a non-issue that it wasn't worth reporting, which in a way is a good thing, but it's a bit of a disservice to the Flemish speaking community in the neighbourhood.
i dont know, police stations being target for firebombs isn't exactly a "not a big deal". i'd like to know why this happend?
it's notable that there are many attacks by people with "psychologische problemen" who actually just snapped, but usualy that's not directed towards police itself, and hit-and-run firebombs are not the usual "terrorist attack", so what happend?
There just wasn't any time left after having to write the daily in depth article of trump said/did y.
we did manage to sqeeze in a report about bdw running.
i wonder what's so important about that, does it matter if he does or does not run? do we look at all his hobby's in depth with a full article or do we only pick the ones where he's a hero, like putin but in dutch?
time that school starts again, the BXL youth is getting bored
