The suspect has in the past threatened Mr Van Ranst, considered Belgium's best-known virologist.

Justice Minister Vincent Van Quickenborne told Flemish TV there were indications that Jurgen Conings was "violent and in the course of the past 24 hours, evidence has emerged the man poses an acute threat".

Sadly anyone using force against the government is branded a terrorist nowadays.

A guy setting out to kill civilians and law enforcement with heavy weapons is terrorism, who would have guessed(?) :roll:

So, having intel on someone being linked to the extreme right doesn't mean you can immediately detain them. It just means you have a cause to dig deeper, shadow them, etc.. They have to actually do something illegal in order to arrest them. Making credible threats towards a leading virologist is definitely among those though.

The thing is the threat is a lot more credible after he steals a couple of anti-tank weapons than before.

I assume they didn't know he stole them until they found them in his house.

You would sort of hope some sort of theft or inventory control system would let them know first. But you may very well be right.

At 46 he might have a kinda senior rank letting him get around inventory stuff.

I wonder if he got into some hard drugs or had a breakdown and ended up on some sort of paranoid psychotic Rambo like breakdown, and is now running around the woods coming down from a horrible trip wondering what the fuck he did?

The fact that he left the Rocket Launchers behind and went into the woods clearly means that whatever master plan he had he abandoned it, maybe this is some long organized suicide by soldier and he wants his country's armed forces to bring him down? :eyebrow:

I just know one way or another this is likely going to end in tears.

No, the point is that I'm not a neo-Nazi on here anymore. That is what counts. Because it is more accepted, I'm now a vanilla Fascist.

But I've gotta try to keep this on topic now, Jurgen Conings is rumored to be hiding in Dilserbos forest and is a trained sniper, but perhaps this is a ruse and he's somewhere else, if not outside of Belgium entirely, given that Europe is a relatively small continent.
