At 11:57 this morning, a lone gunman assaulted a crowd of spectators at the Luminaire Center for Culture and The Arts in the city of Caille on the planet of Gallente Prime, killing at least 58 people and wounding 304 others. The crowd had been assembled for the inaugural address of the Federal Tribes Festival of Community and Culture, held in Caille every year with the stated aim of "fostering and nurturing the relations that have kept the bond between Gallente and Minmatar strong since the days of the revolution." |

Sad.
Now I know that Pilot Diana Kim is just going to be jumping up and down with joy in this thread later, but...
I can't take pleasure in the downfall of another man, especially not like this, on civilian soil. |

Words cannot express my dismay at learning of this. May the families and friends of those affected and lost by this incident be granted justice by the statutes of their land.
May those lost be at peace.

I cried when I heard this news as it happened near where I grew up and where my parents lived until recently. There can never be justification for the mass killing of innocent civilians like this. Never.
May the spirits bless and protect the wounded and those affected by this atrocity and may the ancestors care for those who were lost.

What surprises me is that the terrorist surrendered himself or herself willingly. To act as a servant of chaos, to execute so bold a plan as this, and then to surrender? I wonder what more is at play here.
I hope, however, that we will not see this sort of terror continue, and that there will be peace for the survivors. |

Why should I?
I myself took down much more than this and I know much more brave soldiers and officers who rooted out way more gallentean infestation than this.
Besides, this was work not of a professional, but amateur, who just splashed out his anger on the mob. Killing same number of military trained personnel or industry workers would be much more useful than just butchering random useless civilians.
I don't know why they even publish this. Gallenteans died? Well, this is good. But they die from our guns daily anyways in much greater numbers. |

Additional news;
http://community.eveonline.com/news/news-channels/world-news/former-minmatar-minister-caille-wounded/
"Karin Midular, current Sebiestor Tribal Chief and former Prime Minister of the Minmatar Republic, has been confirmed as one of those wounded in the terrorist attack that took place at the hands of a lone gunman earlier today on Gallente Prime. Details are sparse at this hour, but reports indicate the tribal chief is currently in critical condition after sustaining a serious head wound in the attack." |

Any head wound from a modern automatic weapon is a serious affair, but in practice the fact that she made it to a hospital is encouraging. I'm sure she's receiving the best medical attention that the Federation can provide, and let's not kid ourselves - the best the Federation can provide is excellent.
If she made it to the operating table, she's got every good chance of recovering. I will be attempting to contact medical facilities in Caille to offer the financial support necessary to ensure that the other wounded from this incident receive the same quality of care, and encourage other pilots to do the same. Let's do something practical about this, so far as we're able.

I will follow Hakatain-haan's lead on this, and offer support to the families of the injured, as well.
I hope that despite Roden's refusal to allow extradition, Matari intelligence personnel are allowed to witness the questioning, and review recordings of that questioning which has already occurred. Roden's refusal complicates a matter already made suspect by the perpetrator's race and willing surrender. |

No political cause, no matter how worthy, is forwarded or supported by acts such as this.
My heart goes out to the families of the victims. I wish them all the courage they will need to face their loss. To the wounded I wish the strength to endure their wounds. |

Sadly i don't think they would listen to me, if I told them to give it time.
I do think they are in mourning, however, as it seems they are letting emotions run their actions. |

I don't understand why Roden refuses to meet our very reasonable demands. True, Gallenteans were injured in killed in this massacre, though I doubt any of them was a head of state.
It's not like this man won't be punished upon arrival in our Republic, it's more likely that being put on trial in the Republic will actually guarantee that he will be dealt with.

Its more likely that he will trip on a knife with a gag reel playing in the back ground. I just fail to see why one injured man is more important than 58 dead and their families. |

Listen to what you just said there. Especially the part about "demands". Do you really not understand why Roden might refuse?

First off our Chief is a woman, just for clarification.
Her life is just as valuable as the others. However, this is a major political figure. If a Minmatar gunman shot Mentas Blaque, Souro Foritan, or even President Roden himself, I am quite confident that the Gallente would want to handle the trial.

Sad news indeed, my sympathies go out to the families affected, and I hope the terrorist responsible for this mmoral action gets caught and put to trial quickly. While I'd lime to think this was just the act of a single madman or a fanatic Amarr citizen, I have a feeling there's more to it than we know.

Perhaps but maybe wait more than 8 hours before demanding with ships?
Maybe a joint investigation since your people know your planets more, make sure it wasn't something by a fanatical cell; ect. We at least know to wait at least 24 hours before demanding anything. |

I do agree with you that my government is being a bit impatient, though Shakor is a man who's success has come from patience and planning very far ahead of time. This means there has to be more at work here that the Federation and/or Republic are aware of while the public is in the dark. |

Very very sad.
I fear this is the work of another cloned soldier; whether to strike at Chief or just to cause chaos I doubt we'll really get an answer. The only thing that worries me about this theory is that he gave himself up so easily; the clones I know would much, much rather fight to the bitter end, waking up somewhere else (but out of enemy hands) than surrender. Many of them fear capture, but few fear death.
I hope that justice is served and whoever this is is given a trial, and that both the Minmatar and Gallente receive peace. |

A dead (wounded? dead?) Sebiestor alpha... witch. Tragic. Or perhaps others are finally catching on to the threat posed by those pernicious little rust elves. In any event, I'm sure in a few hours time, the fact that this is all a Sinister Amarrian Plot will be well documented.
Fate seems to have had her way with the Gallente, the Caldari, and now the Horde. Clearly, she's saving the best for last.

May all those who have suffered loss this day find a measure of peace in the days ahead. What has been taken cannot be replaced but the void may be filled with many things: anger, hatred, vengeance, remembrance, gratitude...may wisdom guide our decisions.
May the future reveal the depth of this atrocity and justice be swift. |

What is so hard to understand, the crime occurred in the Federation. Midular while a tribal leader and member of the government is no longer a "Head of State".

Certainly, nobody would mistake me for any sort of sympathizer, but my heart aches at this news.
The only purpose any investigation would serve is to ascertain the presence or absence of any accomplices, and to determine whether or not further attacks are planned. I have heard several demands for a joint investigation, and trial by jury. Why? The only purpose of these foolish actions is to make the extraction of relevant information more difficult and provide flimsy justification when the conclusion is the same as my own.
Make no mistake; there can be no forgiveness for what has happened here. Not ever. These were not combatants in an active war who were fired upon - they were unarmed civilians. And there is no question the intent was to kill as many as possible. Perhaps that is the worst of it - that the victims will be denied justice, to assuage the conscience of fools. Extract the information as painfully as possible, and put the perpetrator to death. |
