Here we go again.
Someone just stabbed 5 people on the Dam Square - Amsterdam's main square.
According to eyewitnesses an elderly woman and a young girl were stabbed in the back. A trauma helicopter was flown in to take care of the victims.
The knifeman has been arrested, but *surprise, surprise* no further information has been provided.
As usual, they'll hide the fact that he's a Muslim "asylum seeker" and then arrest you for speculating about that.
Here's the way AP spins it: Five attacked, including four foreigners.
See, if it was "foreigners" who were attacked, then we shouldn't worry that it was also a foreigner who went on the knife jihad, stabbing an elderly woman, a little girl, and three others.
The "foreigners" attacked were... tourists.
-- A knife-wielding assailant in Amsterdam seriously wounded five people -- including two from the United States, one from Belgium and one from Poland -- in a stabbing attack Thursday on a busy shopping street, Dutch police said.
The attack lasted several minutes before the assailant was stopped by a passerby near the city's Dam Square in the late afternoon. Police cordoned off the area and several ambulances and a trauma helicopter were called to the scene.
Authorities said in a statement that no motive had been established for the attack, but that police were considering a scenario where the man targeted victims at random.
The victims were identified as a 67-year-old woman and a 69-year old man from the United States, a 73-year-old woman from Belgium, a 26-year-old man from Poland and a 19-year old Dutch woman from Amsterdam.
The 69-year-old man from the United States is a "foreigner" in Amsterdam, see.
From Beege Wellborn, quoting from DW.com:
...One witness told Dutch media that the attacker had stabbed a young woman in the back, with the perpetrator then running away.
"I saw a knife at least 10 centimeters (nearly four inches) sticking out of the girl's back, between her shoulders," they told Amsterdam newspaper Het Parool.
As far as "no known motive" -- this account claims that the mayor has been making statements against antisemitism among Unknown Groups, and maybe that was the cause of the knife jihad.

- The incident happened near Dam Square, in the southern part of the Dutch capital
MOTIVE NOT STATED - however, there was a city council meeting going regarding the mayor Femke Halsema, who's been under fire for her passionate words about Antisemitism calling them hooligans though she did Apologize since then.
They have been having what is called "jew hunt" according to some spiking tension.
The guy seen straddling the terrorist in that last post is a civilian who helped subdue the Dutch Man Whose Motive May Never Be Known. He might turn out to be a "foreigner," too.
By the way: Netflix made a movie about Youths Who Stab People.
As Podcast of the Lotus Eaters pointed out: This is the first known case of a black-to-white race-swapping in Hollywood history.

The other night, I was watching a show on Netflix called Adolescence. It's based on a true story about a British knife killer who stabbed a girl to death on a bus, part of a wave of knife attacks plaguing the UK.
So you can imagine my surprise when Netflix chose to portray the 13-year-old Black migrant as a 13-year-old white boy who was supposedly "radicalized" by the red pill movement.
