BBC News: 'Many wounded' in Istanbul nightclub attack, NYE
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-38481521
As expected, something has happened. Seems at least two men entered the night club in fancy dress (Santa outfits) and began firing in to the crowd indiscriminately. http://bnonews.com/news/index.php/news/id5596 http://www.independent.co.uk/news/wo...-a7504046.html --- And a 12 year old girl is dead here in the UK after a NYE hit and run: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england...ester-38481454

BBC reporting that at least one of the attackers is apparently still alive and inside the club, potentially with hostages like in Paris last year

Not 100% sure how many people are involved now - original reports said 2 but now some reports suggest 3 - one dead, one who has ran away ripping off the Santa suit as he did (on the loose) and another potentially still inside the nightclub (contained but potential civilians still inside). |

Kurdish connection?
For a religion of piece, Islam has produced a number of mass killers. Assuming this Turd (sorry Kurd) is Islamic. |

I think the reason first reports were quite conservative was that a large part of the club seems to be "open air" with large outside areas, thus leading some people to assuming people would be able to get away more easily.
It seems that was not necessarily the case, although potentially 600-800 in the club at the time. |

No matter how many police on the streets, no matter how many people are searched, it is simply impossible to stop lone attackers

Hideous.
I was thinking to myself earlier tonight how vulnerable people are on New Years Eve, millions of people across the globe going to heavily populated areas. This could happen anywhere, they're armed what use is nightclub security? And the Police are too spread out to be efficient because there are so many potential targets. |

This is getting beyond a joke now. How much more of this are we supposed to take?

![]() Why do we let people know where the police are at all times in bright coloured jackets? Make these people paranoid of everyone around them, that's what I say. Imagine going to pull out a gun in a club, killing 3 or 4 people before a "passerby" who is actually an armed, plain clothes officer shoots you in the head. |

I think there should be a bigger argument for more armed police and more non-uniformed police officers at big events like this. High police presence doesn't prevent attacks it just makes them choose places with less PP and so the response time is higher, and thus the death toll is greater.
