A lot of them are observed. But for what?

People who are observed are observed because they've done suspicious things, in general. Which doesn't automatically make someone guilty.

Yes, but how much times we could hear that the terrorists were known by the police.

Yes, and if you arrest everyone as soon as you have them on the 'radar', you are highly likely to lose a lot more lives, because you'll miss a huge amount of valuable information. It's just not smart, at all, to arrest everyone who is suspicious as soon as you find them.

Agreed. But if they are observed how they could kill. Ok, there are not enough policemen. But do you think we (Europeans) have to live with this? Of course, this things can't change at once, but it seems currently we have no solutions for this problem.

Because mistakes can be made, unfortunately. I have no doubt 99% of potential attacks are stopped, a lot of them because suspected people were not arrested but continued to be watched (leading to more and more information, which could eventually stop a major attack or expose a network or something). Sadly, there are always cases where someone slips through the observations.

i don`t think that "Europe"will do sth

Europe doesn`t hurt as such, they undertake many tough jobs, economies probably like them

 

normal people hurt and there will be "one magical moment" of crossing the border. I think that some kind of gangs, ultra-right groups of "IRA" character (military groups) will start get created, not big even, 5-10 people per city - it will be enough. ISIS probably only waits for this and sadly this way or another it will start to happen. When there`s action there`s reaction...that was, is and will be a nature of mankind. The reaction is so slow up-to-date really only because Europe got really civilized and forgiving. In former ages it`d be totally different story. 

Guess why ISIS wants innocent muslims to be killed... :/

I fell in love with sports.....since i first seen it

    • Italian governmanet issued a statement:   The Vice President of the Council of Ministers and Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Antonio Tajani, and the Minister for Sport and Youth, Andrea Abodi have issued this joint note:   The Italian Government expresses its absolute opposition to the decision of the Internazionale Paralympic Committee to admit to participating in the Milan Cortina 2026 Paralympics for Russian athletes and four Belarusian athletes with the display of their national emblems, inno compreso.   The Italian government reiterates the dissent already expressed, together with other 33 nations and the European Commission, on the decision of full reinstatement of the Russian and Belarusian Paralympic Committees assumed by the General Assembly of the International Paralympic Committee last September 27, and renews its own full solidarity and its own unconditional support for Ukraine. Ask, inoltre, al Comitato Paralimpico Internazionale to reconsider this decision. The persistent violation of the truce and Olympic and Paralympic ideals by Russia, supported by Belarus, is incompatible with the participation of athletes in the Games, if they do not come as individual neutral athletes.   https://www.esteri.it/en/sala_stampa/archivionotizie/comunicati/2026/02/tajani-abodi-governo-contrario-decisione-comitato-paralimpico-internazionale-sulla-russia/
    • The Canadian who went down with Sighal also didn't advance. There was no advantage for Canada. The only decision was if Sighal would advance, and the official said no. No one advanced. Even if you think it was an unfair ruling, it didn't benefit Canada in any way.    Meanwhile, several Canadians have been penalized throughout the competition, just like every other country. One even got a yellow card. Dandjinou was on his way to a medal, but was bumped in the final and lost. Our women today were bumped by the Koreans and nothing was done. These things happen in short track. At no time did any decision benefit a Canadian, whether you agree with it or not. 
    • I think I'll go with 8 this time. Brazil did very well in all sports, except for the girl in Alpine Skiing who, from what I've read, is a DNF magnet. Even so, it's our first participation in Women's Alpine Skiing in years.   As for the organization, honestly, some things have disappointed me, the way they're handling unforeseen events...
    • The Italian federation has issued an official stance – I hope they finally take a closer look at this Hungarian clown. I just hope it's not like someone wrote here, where the former Canadian skater makes the decisions and that Hungarian just announces them.   https://www.fisg.it/short-track-milano-cortina-2026-presidente-gios-grande-delusione-e-amarezza-per-il-trattamento-del-giudice-nei-confronti-di-pietro-sighel/
    • We lost the gold to Korea, but if we were going to lose to anyone, it was them- the country that is the cradle of this sport, not the Netherlands, which only seriously entered the sport eight to last 8-10 years ago and created serial dominators, like in speed skating, track cycyling, etc. I simply can't like their model, where they create athletes for serial victories in 2/3 selected disciplines. 
    • https://worldcurling.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/2023-The-Rules-of-Curling.pdf p. 45 I think has what you're looking for.
    • By the way, those shot % by position are really interesting.  USA's only standout is their lead, at #1 at the moment, while skip, #2 and vice are 7th, 8th, and 9th respectively among their position peers.   seems USA would hardly have any wins at all without that lead performing so spectacularly.  Maybe that lead should be skip next time.  well, maybe not, I guess it depends on whether his weighted shots are as good as his draw shots.
