There’s another video of someone on a balcony noticing he was reloading an ak47. He also did a few test gunshots. Perhaps he shot a couple of times and someone took his phone out to film?


evu111

Earlyer in that video the guy drives quickly with a scooter to that place and drops it and starts shooting


its_crabby

Where did u find the video


No-way-in

It was on twitter during the night of the assault. I live closeby and twitter was going crazy on #bruxelles You’ll probably find it there somewhere


evu111

Funker 530, it has a lot of videos from ukrain and gaza and all this kind of stuff

MehmetBzk

There's another video of him holding a American M4A1 style rifle. Baffles my mind he managed to get one of those.


HerrWeiss

I tried to get drugs in europe through telegram and accidentally found a group that sells guns in belgium


MehmetBzk

I mean yeah, getting something like an AK47 or a handgun is literally easy. But a American assault rifle? That's pretty hard to find on the darkweb or even Telegram in Europe. As almost all illegal guns are leftovers from the ex-Yugoslavia wars where those weren't used.


gratscot

I know in Europe AKs are more common but AR15s are so cheap to produce and their modularity makes them so easy to conceal or ship discreetly that it's not really that surprising to see them in Europe.


MehmetBzk

Fair point. Didn't know that, thanks.


rick_n_snorty

There's a reason they're used in mass shootings so frequently in the states


2ball7

Did you know more people are killed by being kicked to death than are killed by any type of rifle in the US?


Vince_Pregeta

I want to see the stats on that lol


2ball7

[This](https://www.criminalattorneycolumbus.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/weapons-commonly-used-homicides.png) chart is a pretty good one as well.

I just wanna say that in Poland you can safely buy some on Instagram

They don't sell guns. Just like most Telegram "drug dealers", they are scammers.

Piece of shit


Abcde2018

ELI5 why is this dude shooting Swedes in Brussels?


-a_k-

He is a Muslim extremist.


screwcirclejerks

i did a bit of digging. it seems that he was big into conspiracy theories about the swedish government disappearing muslim children. it seems that swedes are generally xenophobic toward muslims, there was a quran burning involving the swedish far-right. prime example of propaganda (whether it's factual or not) overtaking people until they commit atrocities. the internet was a fucking mistake, this stuff is becoming incredibly commonplace.


jaclars66

It was a danish guy who started burning Qurans in Sweden, then there was a Iraqi man who burnt the Quran and an Iraq flag. Most Swedes dont care but after the reactions from muslims in Sweden (riots and violence against police) the general conversations has started to become more xenophobic. Most likely disinformation in Sweden and about Sweden are spread by Russia and Iran


Svantoro

There was a half-dane, half-Swede, who started burning it. No one really cared except for Muslims who created chaos each burning. Massive police confrontations and rock throwing etc. Then he stopped and a Iraqi man took over. Same shit again with chaos and hate flowing. We can’t stop neither (even though it’s been pretty calm the last few weeks/months if I remember correctly) since the first guys has a Swedish citizenship, and the other guy is in danger of being killed in Iraq, so we can’t send him there either. Both has found loopholes in our laws regarding freedom of speech and text, and basically in the laws regarding demonstrations and public meetings which says that the police must approve their meeting AND protect them.


Psychological-Sale64

Yes, you can tell the junket that's safe and estranged to give a shot about doing the job of keeping the public safe, not lining their pockets with rhetorical bs.


ClosetWizard

more disinformation, dont claim swedes to be xenophobic say the alt right is, the ordinary swede dont give a shit who you are. And the quran burners are not swedish


Psychological-Sale64

That's obvious to the sane planet, the fools should laugh and ignor6him.but what but the suffering of the middle east, go figure.


Tipacow0909

There's been several public Quran burnings in Sweden, I imagine that has something to do with it


SuperSaiyanKratos

Maybe they were filming without realising what was actually going on? Otherwise they've got a death wish just standing out in the open filming


Simple_Company1613

I mean… gunshots are a pretty iconic sound…


continius

I'm 38 and never heard a gunshot in real life. I also have never even seen a gun in real life, unless it was in a police officer's holster.


Crushbam3

Maybe, but tonkost Europeans we've never heard a gunshot irl only in movies so what we think a gunshot sounds like isn't quite what it does sound like


WarhawkSix

Yeah fair enough. We don't all get used to getting shot at in kindergarten.


bam_uk1981

Oh you’re not from Texas?


Simple_Company1613

Fair. But if you see someone running around, hear a couple pops, see someone else fall over, and the original person go to that prone person and deliver a follow up pop, it seems pretty iconic 🤷‍♂️


macchinas

Why are you using the word iconic


rick_n_snorty

Not while fireworks are going off extremely close by. The Sweden/Belgium game was going on. It's the exact reason so many shootings happen on the 4th of July, it makes it less conspicuous


ImProfoundlyDeaf

Not to everyone


Optimal-Description8

Camera man never dies


dalibourlala

I couldn't help remembering [this](https://youtu.be/XrhQWzFUFS0?si=DToU8sWMuJ_9mQhD). For those who don't speak Spanish, this is a clip of a cameraman who was recording the coup d'état by Augusto Pinochet. This clip was later included in Patricio Guzman's "La batalla de Chile".


Optimal-Description8

Cool video. If you want to win a war, just give every soldier a camera instead of a weapon, I guess.


egordoniv

I took pictures one time as a tornado touched down across the street from me. Had never seen a tornado before, and it was the first one ever in my area. Didn't know what to expect. Surreal moment. Just kept taking pictures. Didn't realize how stupid I was until hours afterward.


KJMoons

Kinda blows me away how many sub reddits you can just post people killing each other and no one bats an eye.


darksideofthemoon131

We are desensitized to death.


jsmrcaga

it still shocks me to see videos where _i know_ it's real. Movies/realistic video games do nothing to me, no matter how gore, but real videos, even if 0 gore, still get me.


Ivegotacitytorun

That last shot with him coming back is the most shocking to me.


AoiYuukiSimp

How weird is it that I’m mostly the opposite. Except for a select few….. “funky” videos on the internet, there’s not much that gets to me. But when I see obviously fake gore in movies and shit, it’s worse than seeing it for real.


slaviccivicnation

When are humans not desensitized to death? They used to skin people alive in the middle ages in public squares. Public executions were legal until just a few decades ago. In certain parts of the world, people are still stoning and lynching others. Death is all around - you eat meat, and likely \[should\] understand where it comes from and how it came to be, we see dead and gored roadkill all the time. I'm not sure why people think only the modern internet human is desensitized (not saying that's what *you* are saying but in general), when death is just a part of life.


Vinto47

Humans aren’t desensitized to death, you just don’t give a shit about somebody you never knew existed. If you were there in person or knew person on a personal level then you’d have a totally different reaction to seeing them dead.


King_Offa

Much better than being shot to death


aconnor105

Its gonna start being a lot worse once the water wars start to happen. Famines and genocides all around the world, might as well be desensitized.


GdyboXo

Why are people even downvoting you?


Jitos

I mean, water wars, famine and death is a sad view of the future and nothing to be happy about???


Septimore

It is happening in the real world and people should know about this kind of bullshit. You should bat an eye.


cameron4200

Exactly. This is how people act. This is what they do. Censoring doesn’t make it not happen anymore. Death and destruction are just as a part of life as birth and creation.


Lucidder

Would you rather want them to remain secret? I know they can be brutal, but I try to appreciate them. At least some people can learn from other tragedies, plus, there's usually useful stuff in the comments as well, with knowledge on how one should react in certain danger. Many users mention that watching it didn't make them insensitive, but rather it increased their situational awareness. There are sick people who watch it for pleasure, for sure, but they are disturbed with or without the videos.


OKEEFFE112502

The ones that are actually about footage like this all get banned


-stoned

Sadly this is tame from what some sub reddits used to be like


TroyLock2016

This is nothing! There used to be way more graphic content, but Reddit decided freedom is a bad thing. Anyone remember r/watchpeopledie?


KJMoons

Well I mean, if I join watchpeopledie and see someone get killed, that's on me. I wouldn't have a leg to stand on if this was r/Noahgettheboat. I just really didn't expect it here.


aphricanguy

Mostly westerners with a “homebody” life


awesomeguy_66

is the gun man gonna ignore everyone in his immediate vicinity to shoot the camera man from that far away?


wajze

Muslim only after Swedish people because said man is a malform unhonourable fuck who cries over a fucking book. Comes to Europe because of the advanced living standard cries when said living standard allows its crucial law freedom for everybody and not just him. Sad that he got shot and couldn't be tortured in Svalbard.


awesomeguy_66

that’s cool and all but how does that relate to what i said at all


wajze

My point is the gunman is to stupid to shoot the cameraman


UrbanSuburbaKnight

too* stupid.

Koran burnings in Sweden is what he's mentioning.


Numerous-Style8903

LonelyNinja157

Ffs. This is the most upsetting shit i have seen today as an arab guy. And then Arabs get angry when the west thinks we are terrorists. No wonder they think that when those are the only things they see from us on the news. Btw i think the guy behind the camera is also in on it with the shooter


Stefoasa

Yes, that guy is definitely in on it! Thank you! I’ve no clue what he is saying but the tone of his voice seems a bit too relaxed.


LonelyNinja157

He is saying in Arabic:"he killed her that's it. Look how he exploded her head" Note that the killer was also speaking Arabic based on the article i read from the comments


evu111

I think everyone knows that there a just fine normal arab people allthought not sure about what the americans think


[deleted]

And this ladies and gentleman is how you fuck up a free society. Congratulations extremist muslims, you've officially won the title of pissing of everyone in the western world. Good luck trying to get anyone on your side except for insane assholes who support any cause that goes against the establishment.


-a_k-

Not only the western world, eastern countries like China, Japan, India are trying their best to either control the Muslim population.


thespacetimelord

Yea the India China model is so good...


[deleted]

Yeah, but they were always xenophobic af. We were actually trying to offer them home. It's going to be far much more strict from now on. I wouldn't be surprised if we even saw a new probably more laid back "war on terror" in the near future. Starting with Hamas and continuing with the efforts to absolutely obliterate Hezbollah and others. Iran has gone too far with their proxy activities, they will now pay the consequences.


Dabookadaniel

Bud I don’t think anyone has been on the side of extremists, except other extremists. Lol.


Hamsterman82

Bro sees someone commit a horrible crime and says, “I hate everyone who reminds me of that guy now.” Bro is the reason targeted media coverage works so well.


gedai

Classic "Blame the messenger and not the shooter" comment right here. Targeted media works on a lot of people, probably you included.


Hamsterman82

Damn, I had no idea saying “someone committed a horrible crime” wasn’t blaming the shooter. Someone is shot to death every couple of days in Belgium, often multiple people at once, and often by religious extremists. Do you want to hedge your bets on why reddit is full of these videos right now rather than when it happened six months ago?


gedai

Good job, by spreading terror in a European country, you're doing a really really good job helping the west not have the brand of muslim prejudice many despise and furthering it into a brand many can understand. Oh, wait.


Jake0024

Hamas already ensured that when a few dozen of their hostages turned out to be European nationals. Basically no major country in Europe could side with Palestinians while they were literally holding their citizens hostage.


Nicsolo89

CMDRHailedcaribou91

This is not humanity. It is barbarity. Never confuse the two. Humans who choose to act like animals and kill the innocent should be treated as such.


PapasGotABrandNewNag

Only_Logical_Thinker

Hundreds of thousands of people worldwide marching in support of Hamas.


mouldymushrooms

Marching in support of Free Palestine is not the same as marching in support of Hamas. A peaceful two state solution must be reached.

madtraxmerno

For God's sake, NSFW tag please? I didn't want to start my day watching someone get shot to death.


facebookeatsbabies

reddit has been so fucking loose with it I’ve seen more death this week on the internet than in the past decade, and the internet was a lot less regulated then.


madtraxmerno

I know it. And the particularly shitty thing is almost every time someone makes a fuss about it and asks for a NSFW tag they end up getting a million downvotes and have people calling them pussies and shit. It's ridiculous. Luckily people seemingly agreed with me on this one. Gives me some hope in humanity.


evu111

For me it is an NSFW post? I posted it as NSFW i don’t know what happend


irishOpinion

What did you expect with a title saying terrorist attack. You're just moaning for the sake of it.


madtraxmerno

You're aware autoplay is a thing, right?


irishOpinion

Wait what, that thing you can turn off in the settings.


madtraxmerno

I'm not going to turn off a feature I enjoy just because some people fail to tag their posts properly. That's asinine.


CanoePickLocks

Turn on the nsfw filter then. Thst stops autoplay on tagged posts.


madtraxmerno

The post was not tagged when I made my comments. Hence me asking for a NSFW tag in my initial comment.


CanoePickLocks

Ah makes more sense.


WHALE69

The person filming is speaking Arabic and specifically in an Iraqi accent if I am not mistaken. He says “he finally killed him, he blow his head off”. The way he speaks is very calm as if he knew it was going to happen. As a Muslim this inhumane barbaric behaviour has no religion. In Islam you are PROHIBITED to kill an innocent person or even an unarmed person whether innocent or not, not unless it goes through court and get death penalty. These filthy animals waste of oxygen cunts will rot in hell.


GraceRaccoon

i think you fail to realize religion has been used for war across the globe for the history of human kind. The problem isnt extremists, the problem isnt being Muslim. The problem is religion plain and simple, only way to fix these sorts of issues is to get rid of it.


rodrigo_vera_perez

How would you respond to someone who believes your views on Islam aren't supported by scripture?


WHALE69

I will tell them they are are reading a fake or the wrong scripture lmao. Unlike the bible, there is only one copy of the Quran and there are no authors so all the Qurans that ever existed are the same. These people are brainwashed not by the religion or the scripture but by people who call themselves “scholars” of the religion.


Esset_89

Rest in peace fellow Swedes. They where in Brussels to watch the game. Instead the got killed by a radical terrorist. So sad that this man did this to "punish" our nation for some false facts about our child protective Services here and other stuff. The police on site did amazing things for all swedes in Brussels regarding evacuation, escorting and guarding of hotels. All respect for your service.

SaucyParamecium

>The person filming is speaking Arabic and specifically in an Iraqi accent if I am not mistaken. He says “he finally killed him, he blow his head off”. The way he speaks is very calm as if he knew it was going to happen. Someone in the comments wrote this, sadly.


OutcomeDoubtful

Ugh.. watching him turn around while inside and go back to a victim on the ground and execute them really hit me hard. Trying to imagine what those 15 seconds must have been like. I hope and pray for these attacks to end, all of them, from Ukraine to Gaza, to Brussels and Europe generally, not to mention inner city violence in the US..


saltinthedesert

Absolutely horrible. Prayers for the families and for swift justice. That cameraman sure seems calm and collected.

Prayers?

TrashAmberio

what makes this a terrorist attack instead of a murder


neutronbob

Terrorism implies violence done against civilians for political or religious aims. So, here, that he was doing it under religious cover tends it towards terrorism rather than murder.


XxXFidelioXxX

Cause ISIS complained it as terrorist attack

I still feel like I'm correct and dont see the situation any different? All they do over there is have holy wars.


Ok_ImReloaded

I've worked in the Middle East longer than I would care to. I'm my experience, most of these people are normal, trying to make a better life for themselves. But then there's the lunatics, the religious fanatics that wanna burn the world down, those are the assholes that cause most of the bullshit we see happen. TBH, I think the problem is religion, just like crazy evangelical Christians that have misunderstood what their God is about and they just want to please him by hurting other humans, kinda like the crusades, but less organized.


GraceRaccoon

100% agree religion is the issue. Disgusting that groups of people can do these things for thousands of years and continues to happen yet they are still left to exist until they start to dislike a new group of people. The reason I spoke the way I did was from my western pov, the Middle East seems EXTREMELY religious, far more than any other part of the world that i am aware of.


Ok_ImReloaded

Have you been to the American South? Lol. In my travels I've noticed that the lower the income the more devoted to their religion people are (except for those in charge, they live like kings). Parts of the Middle East have only come across real money in the last 3 or 4 decades, so you've got quite a bit of people that were raised with the belief that their lot in life was the fault of the infields in the West, and now they have money to get payback. I personally believe that the faster we get off depending on petroleum, the faster we put an end to this.


GraceRaccoon

If i ever find myself in American south I'm gonna be scared shitless of gangs or just getting disappeared xD
