Hi Bea and Rich,

I must admit I am rather shocked too. As is the whole country. Everybody is talking about this. I never thought anything like this could ever happen here. As our Prime Minister said: "The Netherlands is a tolerant country where, although naturally there are opposing political points of view, there is respect for one another and one can fight with words, not bullets".

I'm afraid this will profoundly influence the way we arrange things here and live with each other, and not for the better.
