The perpetrator was shot and wounded during a gunfight with officers a short distance away from the initial violence, police said.
Katarzyna Cisło, a spokesperson for the Krakow police, told TVN24 that the perpetrator was wearing military-style fatigues and he used a military-type long gun in the attack. Police found many pieces of other weapons, as well as ammunition, in his car.
You could also speculate that it is an UPA apologist. Or just wait for the facts.
The odds are much greater that this is from a russian apologist. You are correct though ,I shouldn’t speculate. I guess it just annoys me when the news, especially the AP, is acting like they need to find out if the weapons were legal or not, when all they had to do was look at what’s on the law books for firearm ownership in Poland and realize that it’s illegal for civilians to own fully automatic firearms.
I think it’s sufficient to state that you imperiatively don’t should shoot at people or hatm them otherwise, be it legal or not. btw, theamerican perspective on personal firearms is not universally applicable at all.
They are just used to the USA.
Even in the US, a fully automatic firearm is basically impossible to get without a ton of money and the ATF putting their hand up your ass to make sure you’re who you say you are. The AP is usually a great source for providing just facts and news, so this caught me off guard.
