omg that video is terrifying. in that moment, he could have just stabbed them all to death, but he only seemed to be targetting the children very calmly and without trying very hard 

[Yog]

I’m not even gonna watch that, this world is truly terrifying 

[MoonGoodandHappy]

I hope he rots in hell. He is not a human but a demon. 

[bjorn]

What religion would that be? I don't see anywhere any mention to the perpetrator's religion - besides him being Syrian. 

[abrantino]

oh wow this shocking and disgusting

 

Annecy is beautiful and I've been there several times ugh...you're never 100% safe from these maniacs, nowhere

[Delirious]

He should be stabbed back

[MotoPapi]

How could you stab a 3 year old innocent child. You must be truly deranged and evil. 

[GoodGuyGoneGhetto]

Is he Arab/Muslim?

 

Well, this will only IGNITE the flames of bigotry even more towards a certain group. I expect mass protests and hate crimes to explode even more. 

 

This is absolutely horrifying, I can only imagine the fear the victims were feeling, but this also looks like a clear cut case of mental health. I’ve witnessed several incidents like these, not as graphic but it easily could have lead to that. 
 

 

Edit: I just read the tag. He was a refugee seeking asylum (of all things) and this happens. Lord.

Did the poor child in the video get stabbed ? Seeing the mother panicking was horrible. The way he was only targeting children is INSANE.

[WitnessOblivia]

What a sick ******* freak. 

 

I really hope the victims are gonna be okay.

[WEEKND]

Jesus. This is horrible.
