Czech Police Say People Have Been Killed in a Shooting in Downtown Prague

School shooting at the Faculty of Philosophy at Palach Square in the center of Prague. Shooter is dead. Scary photo of the students hiding out on the roof.

Poor Czechs, they don't deserve this imported gringo nonsense.

I was about to start a thread. The Amy "Boom Boom" Bishop phenomenon exported overseas?

The picture of the students on the ledge is terrifying.

So did the Czechia thing ever take off or was that a New Coke moment.

Of course it took off, everyone is using it now. Except perhaps for some eldergays here on DL who still cling to Ceylon and the like.

24 year old killer. 10 plus people dead.

11 dead, 24 injured as per Twitter

Pussy shooter offed himself (as per usual) when law enforcement showed.

Well I certainly hope this doesn’t hinder the gay porn industry there.

National mourning at Christmas. Great.

Gringo? That’s what Latin Americans call whites who aren’t Latin American. That would include Czechs.

Sweet Baby Jesus (of Prague)! Let's pray that Pavel Novotny escaped the terror unscathed.

Oh, no. There's gonna be a fight about the etymology of Gringo.

Perhaps the shooter has a grudge against Chex mix.

Probably not, R19: the killer is "David Koza", a white Czech.

That doesn't rule him out as a converted muslim fundie, but given that the shooting occurred at a university, something tells me this one doesn't have anything to do with death cult.

The police used the word "eliminated" making it sound like he was taken out, but r9 says he committed suicide. Eliminated did seem like an odd choice.

Czech authorities have revised the total number of those injured in the Prague university shooting to around 25 people, Prague emergency services said on X, formerly Twitter.

The emergency services said in a statement that nine people have been severely injured, five or six have medium-severe injuries and 10 were lightly injured.

The officials said that numbers could change, given the situation is still developing.

I hope initial assessments were wrong; that the number killed are fewer and LE killed the loser before he had the opportunity to kill himself. He didn't deserve to have that choice, since he felt entitled to take away the choice of others, to live.

R19 is very disappointed.

Damn this is tragic and right before Christmas to make it worse.

People don’t care about the lives of others. They just want to weave their own tapestry made out of other peoples’ corpses.

He killed his father prior to the attack. Tourists believed to be among dead. He was pictured on the balcony with what looks like an automatic weapon. Isn't it virtually impossible to get AR type weapons in Europe? Link to the dreaded DM to follow, but it seems to have most information.

Posted copiously on Telegram about his sick yearnings to kill others, his miserable life, and various pathetic other tripe.

Unfortunately no one on there convinced him to do the universe a solid a kill himself before this happened.

by Anonymousreply 31December 21, 2023 6:38 PM

Just that he admired some murdering Russian cunt. Nothing else yet that anyone has found or posted, R32.

[quote] 15 dead reported now.

Please Czech on that.

by Anonymousreply 34December 21, 2023 6:46 PM

Great. Will this now became a thing in other parts of the world?

by Anonymousreply 35December 21, 2023 7:47 PM

Did he become a suspect before or today's attack? Very curious how he obtained an automatic weapon.

by Anonymousreply 37December 21, 2023 11:16 PM

From the Telegraph linked above:

[quote] Czech Republic has some of the most liberal gun laws in Europe. There are more than 800,000 firearms of all categories registered among 300,000 gun permit holders in the country, which has a population of about 10.5 million people, writes Ella Nunn.

[quote]It is one of the only nations in the world - and the only one in Europe - that provides the constitutional right to bear arms.

[quote]Concealed-carry permits for self-defence can be obtained by Czech citizens without presenting specific reasons and recreational shooting is one of the most popular sports in the country.

Thank you, r38. I imagine that might change as gun laws did in Australia after their massacre.

We Americans seem to be irredeemable. And by that I mean NRA GOP nihilists

Pic of the killer, David Kozak, 24, attached. He's thought to have kept a diary in Russian on messaging app Telegram, writing in one post: 'I want to do a school shooting and possibly suicide.'

Is a near human extinction coming? For the past 30+ these shooting have escalated.

And now they’re moving beyond US borders.

Maybe some humans know something subconsciously

Nah, people are like cockroaches and there are billions of them. A few school shootings isn't going to even touch it.

by Anonymousreply 43December 22, 2023 3:46 AM

Nope, R41. These killers are always entitled losers trying to get attention and hurting other people because they're weak. They aren't evolved or special.
