Getting run over by a car is part and parcel of living in a vibrant democracy.
If you don’t like this, you’re a traitor.
Democracy is who we are, because it’s our values.
A car plowed into a group of people at a carnival in Belgium early Sunday, killing six people and seriously injuring 10 others, according to authorities.
“A car drove from the back at high speed. And we have a few dozen injured and unfortunately several people who are killed,” La Louviere Mayor Jacques Gobert said.
A crowd of over 150 were gathered in Strépy-Bracquegnies, located about 30 miles south of Brussels, at dawn for the start of celebrations of the carnival.
“At this stage, there are no elements to suggest that the attack had a terrorist motive,” prosecutor Damien Verheyen told a news conference.
Initial media reports stated the car had potentially been involved in a high-speed chase with police before the crash. The prosecutor’s office denied the reports later Sunday.
The driver and a second person were arrested once the car came to a stop.
So, it’s definitely not “extremism.”

It is probably the result of some sort of unspecific mental health issue.
We also can’t rule out the possibility of Russian hacker involvement.
It’s also quite possibly another “living car” attack, as happened in Waukesha earlier this year.
The racist US government blamed the black guy behind the wheel, even though the media confirmed that a sentient vehicle had done the deed.
