Party Vibe

it doesn’t make sense though, the NL Royal family are more respected in their country than ours is and for a native to try and kill them is very unusual – even driving a car to kill like this is unusual in the Netherlands (although a common thing to happen in the UK, albeit at less prominent events).

NL has only had a handful of political assassinations or terrorist attacks in recent times since WW II – compared to the UK where there have been loads!

if the attacker was on drugs thats not good for anyone in the EU as prohibitionists will use this to complain even more about NL’s liberal drugs laws which are already under threat.

looks like the car had already hit a load of pedestrians (presumably those near the royal bus) – and then spun out hence missing the large bus with the Royal Family. This is not surprising, as a human vs car RTC usually results in the front end of the car being stoved in, absorbing much of the impact and knocking the steering out of alignment.

no matter who this was targeted at (as I said, similar incidents regularly occur in our nation) it is a very dodgy thing to happen anywhere. The rapid response of the cops on bicycles is impressive though – you can tell they are cops even from the videos shown at a distance as they all wear cycling helmets and have MTBs or hybrids, unusual for the Netherlands..

if you look at the videos even after he’s missed the royal bus and gone out of control he still tries to run over a cop on his bicycle, who does some really clever evasive move – as good as the Scottish dude doing stunts on the other video and more impressive considering its a standard police bike!

actually if I lived in NL I’d probably have no beef with the cops as I think squat parties are allowed there and its not as if they would want to arrest me all the time for the sort of things I get up to for fun…
