Dutch Queen escapes apparent attack

[Ironhorse]

Seems like Queen Beatrix and her family escaped what could have been a nasty attack today during Queens Day festivities. As it is, still a sad day for Holland.

Five people were killed in Holland when a speeding car ploughed into spectators at a parade in what appeared to be an attempted attack on
the Dutch queen.

The vehicle narrowly missed a bus carrying the royal family as it careered into the crowd before hitting a stone monument.


The black Suzuki appeared to target the open bus, which was carrying Queen Beatrix and her family through the town of Apeldoorn, about 55 miles from Amsterdam, during the Queen's Day festivities.


The driver, a white 38-year-old Dutchman, had reportedly lost his job as a security officer a few months ago and was about to be evicted from his apartment in the town of Huissen, near Utrecht, because he could no longer pay the rent.

I opened this up thinking I would read about a "Dairy Queen" that was apparently attacked--honest.

This story just quite isn't as interesting.

There's only two things that I can't stand. People who are intolerant to other peoples cultures, and the Dutch.

Have you been watching the Obama Deceit too?

I saw this on the news. Awful stuff.

Why couldn't this clown do the honorable thing of fight adversity and think positive if his life is so miserable without hurting others. So you lost your job, boo-friggin-hoo!

I probably have a 78% chance of guess the alleged assailants' religion. (sarcasm)
