Antwerp, Belgium: racist skin-head shoots 2 y.o. girl, in front of my door

A white 18 yo "Gothic" right-wing skin-head fanatic shot and killed a 2 yo white girl and her black pregnant nanny, almost in front of my door. I live near the Antwerp City riverbanks, the whole area is currently sealed off by police.

When I was having late breakfast this morning (it was a superb sunny day, 25°C/80°F) I heard the whaling sound of countless police and ambulance vehicles. The 2 yo girl and her accompanying au pair where instantly killed by the 18 yo assailant, who carried a rifle [although firearms are controlled items in Belgium]. Police shot him just a couple of minutes later, 50 m from my front door.

The whole city is in shock, with the Antwerp Mayor calling for serenity after this shocking racist act.

I just walked by the crime scene – these are my pictures from flowers left on the sidewalk where the little girl was shot

  1. Oh, the bravery of nazi scum… Clearly, the nanny and her heavily armed 2-year-old charge were positioning themselves to take over Belgium. What pride the nazi skinheads must have in their conquering hero.

    May this baby killer have a long, long hellish life… at hard labour, in prison. Every time this boy closes his eyes, I hope he sees the blood spatters of a defenceless baby through his rifle sights.

    This is why we fight fascism.
