sheepy_dogs_handI have family in Utrecht, my grandfather grew up there during Nazi occupation and I have a lot of distant relatives there and there is a lot of worry. It's one of the nicest places in Holland with some of the nicest people. Everyone is feeling a lot of anger, especially towards the incompetent Dutch government that can't even catch him and seem to have known about this (and many others) yet continue to do little.
It was very difficult to prevent this, but the social workers here did an excellent job. After the incident itself they handled the situation very well. The streets were empty almost everywhere and there was no panic. Earlier this evening they caught the guy who's responsible for all this.
Me and probably many other people didn't think Utrecht would be a place where this would happen, but the government still prepared in case it would ever take place. I can't say I'm angry towards them. It could've been far worse honestly.
