Dutch police said they had sent special units to a central square in Amsterdam because of a man with a gun at an Apple store where local broadcaster AT5 reported a hostage-taking during an apparent robbery.
Several video clips on the broadcaster’s website appeared to show a person being held at gunpoint.
“There is a person with a firearm in the store … police forces are there with many units and specialist units at the scene to get the situation under control,” Amsterdam police tweeted.

Looks like an act of terrorism
Apparently, suspect was advocating for customer replaceable hard drives and video cards in all desktops and portables.
Does anyone know where Louis Rossman is tonight?
Dutch Gun Culture™ is to blame!
As opposed to US gun culture, where dozens of bystanders may have died in a hail of bullets from a single bad actor?
Dutch culture and law has definitely resulted in better outcomes on this issue, my friend.
Where are those stats???
Come on, TT, do your own research. The above poster is 100% correct, there is no significant gun culture in the Netherlands.
https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/gun-violence-by-country
USA: 12.21 firearm deaths per 100k people so far in 2022
Netherlands: 0.58
Canada: 2.05
How you can find this something to be proud of (or worth arguing) is beyond me.
Most of us have no problems with hunters and marksmen. The USA has long had a healthy culture of frontier sportsmen, much like other large nations. Nobody’s blaming the gun. Unfortunately, responsible gun owning adults are increasingly outnumbered by wannabe Rambos, gang bangers and druggies who have no respect for law and order. It’s not even a partisan issue. Rich right wingers complain and retreat to their gated communities, poor lefties complain about violent crime on their crumbling urban streets. Everyone has to pay higher and higher taxes to support law enforcement that is fighting a losing battle, everyone is affected at least indirectly. To top it all off, I think there’s some significant education and mental health problems that persist and are not corrected by the for-profit rotating door prison system. Regardless the many influences, much is broken in the USA, and pretending gun violence is not a crisis does nobody any favors. Maybe you should see how the Netherlands OBJECTIVELY has less gun deaths, a better outcome that most people would prefer.
Now go ask Samantha where she comes up with her made-up stats.
Statistics tell a different story, are you too stupid to comprehend that 100s of thousands of lives are saved every year in the US by law abiding citizens with guns? It’s a fact!
Law abiding citizens with guns stop more crime that cops. It’s a fact!
Bet you want to save lives by so-called “gun violence” but are fine with killing 500,000 babies each year in the US!!!
WTF is gun violence? Is there such a thing as car violence? Fist violence? Hammer violence? It’s a fake term made up to confuse the stupid and gullible, just like you
