A man, his face painted white and his hair dyed in red, entered a Belgian nursery and began stabbing the babies. Two babies and one adult were stabbed to death, and many severely wounded. He then left on a bike. See [here](http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20090123/wl_afp/belgiumcrimechildrenknife).
His religious beliefs or lack thereof are yet unknown.

I think about all you can say for something like that is that a crazy person did a terrible, crazy thing. I don’t think there’s any sense to be made of this.

And that the local contingent of birthday party clowns are going to have to resort to selling heroin full time.

I think that the point is that people of whatever religious persuasion you happen to belong to stab babies all the time? Clearly. :rolleyes:

Just a joke referring to the “why do christians this” and “why do atheists that” threads we have been having lately. I presume.

What is with the Belgians and kids? Seriously, are they the world’s champs in child molestation, or simply better in getting it into the papers

Have you ever seen Belgium? It’s like a 12,000sq.mile car-park with a couple of semi-interesting buildings. Not the most exciting of places, tbh. (imo.)
Not that it excuses stabbing babies, I should add!

This gave me pause:

I had to double-check to confirm that the front doors to this daycare were, in fact, completely clear glass.
If I were the person that opened that door, I’d hope to hell to be the one adult that was killed. Beats the hell out of sticking around to answer the question, “Um… So… uhh… why the fuck did you open the door?”

Wow.
I’m all about the black comedy … but this shit is even ooging me out. “You deserve a stabbing …”? Damn, man. That’s some cold shit right there.
