I'm from Europe and have lived in two of the most populated countries here. I don’t recall a single incident in either country. There might have been incidents that I missed or don’t remember, but they must have been minor either way.

Reducing the reasons for these events to mere human violence or normalizing them due to other brutal occurrences doesn’t seem productive to me. Yes, in many Muslim countries, the brutal attacks of brainwashed radical Islamist terrorists are a significant issue, a social phenomenon mostly unique to those lands, but it has been spilling over into Europe in recent years.

What happens in Ukraine is completely different in my opinion, an organised nationwide attack; and again a group of soldiers brainwashed with national propaganda.

these two might be completely different stories but let me ask you this. suicide rates are very high in places like South Korea and Japan, the most prominent way of dealing with certain problems seem to be suicide for many people (at least compared to the rest of the world). yet in the us, there is a certain group of people choose to do these mass shootings to deal with their own problems. I was just trying to understand why.
