French police and various other law enforcement and security agencies are still searching for a "suspected extremist" who opened up on shoppers patronizing one of Europe's best-known Christmas markets, located in the city of Strasbourg, killing three with his firearm and wounding another 13 in the process. France, already on edge because of widespread rioting by disaffected middle and lower class citizens, popularly called the "yellow vests" or "yellow jackets" (my French sucks), was made even more nervous by the shooting and the fact that the shooter, 29-year-old Cherif Chekatt, still remained at large, this despite a manhunt of gargantuan proportions.
According to news reports, Chekatt has a "lengthy record," including jolts for armed robbery and other violent crimes. He apparently was "radicalized" ("radicalized" to what is being delicately avoided) while in stir and had been "monitored" by French intelligence agencies. France has declared Chekatt's attack to be an act of terror. Hmmm... looks like those damn Lutherans are at it again.
"Politics is just show business for ugly people."
