The 38 year old man who did this died of his wounds this night.
He was conscious when the car crashed into the memorial, and stated
he aimed for the Dutch Royal family. He raced his Suzuki through the crowd
of which a dozen are wounded, and five died.
The 30th of April is the birthday of the former queen, now a national
day of festivities in which the Royals are central. We Dutch are so happy with
our Oranje family! next to that it is my birthday, too. I quit the festivities in honour
of the victims of this horrid and useless tragedy.
In the past, this was the day all of NL was a happy place full of parties and without
worries, I am afraid this madman's act will change this for ever....
