First reports of chest and head injuries. Reuters says 4 shots, with one hitting the abdomen.

They're saying Fico's life is in danger and he's being transported to Banska Bystrica official facebook post. Apparently the perp was a 71 year old man.

That would be born in 1953, just the right age to have been active during the Prague Spring. I'm only speculating but it wouldn't be too far fetched if in a senile mind the events of the recent years had awakened old traumas and he was resisting Warsaw Pact occupation again. Or at least I would offer that to the judge if I was his attorney.

Rumour going around that the guy has been identified and was the founder of a fringe political movement whose primary policies were promoting non-violence and Roma hatred. So shooting Fico seems a counter-intuative way to achieving either of those goals.

That's also a very interesting pairing of beliefs, usually I expect violence to go together with racism.

You can implicitly add "and also Roma hatred" to any political ideology and movement in the region. Promoting humane treatment of animals... and also Roma hatred, etc

Is Roma hatred considered a fringe belief nowadays? Slovakia is so much more progressive than many other European nations. Unless it's only that when connected to nonviolence... e: beaten by stein

The shooter was apparently a poet and founder of a local book club. Well that explains, poets are always sus. Time to ban that filth.

A large market hall burned down in Warsaw a few days ago, leaving several hundred people, mostly Vietnamese, in dire straights. Rumor has it that another large commercial building was also about to be burned down, but the incendiary devices failed to go off and now the hunt is on for a diversion group. It’s being reported by a journalist source - a podcast from RadioZet - but very few other details are available. Also a lot of border fuckery lately, mostly around Królewiec on the Lithuanian side and on the Narva river between Estonia and Russia. Fun times!

My friends in Canada are hearing about it, and that Pilish and Western countries believe this was done using local assholes but planned and financed by GRU. This basically makes Russia an actual terrorist state. Although my Canadian friend suggests that it's not actually terrorism so much as just being bad people, them seeing us as enemies and therefore our civilian property and infrastructure as legitimate targets even without a state of total war. Simply, they dislike us, this hurts us. Not sure which interpretation is worse. Although at least, unless the goal is to ironically lower purchase perception of their immediate threat, paying for malls to burn down means that they're not actively tormenting mass murder through bombs and chemicals let alone preparing to march troops across the border.

Russia has been committing actual terrorism throughout Europe for years, this changes nothing. But don't touch their assets though, that would be bad!

I'm sorry, is the base motivation of most if not all terrorists not "they dislike x and want to hurt them"? Seems like a distinction without a difference to me.

Regardless of legitimacy (every terrorist organization acts rationally against a legitimate target from their point of reference) Russian attacks in the West do not seriously destroy the ability of their enemies to prosecute war. Blowing up random pieces of infrastructure on this scale doesn't affect the military or logistical capability of a state. And so their only effect is causing fear to affect political outcomes, the definition of terrorism. The same is true about their scattered attacks on infrastructure in Ukraine itself - a fair-play attack in war requires credibility to actually achieve a military goal, if the attacker strikes knowing he can't achieve the stated military goal under any circumstances, it's generally not considered a legal / valid military operation but rather a war crime.
