Clanner Moment
Gone
Utterly absurd story ongoing in Belgium that I'm surprised hasn't been mentioned here:
www.rt.com
So of course, Belgians would react to this turn of events with revulsion, right?
No, in fact, the man has inspired marches in support of him.

Alternatively, here Politico.eu attempts to rationalize the current upswell of support by pinning it to the dreaded far-right Flemish parties:

But then the plot thickens. It's true that a car of his containing the AT launchers he stole was discovered, but Vice claims that getting caught was in fact part of his plan.

Given the man is supposedly going after specific politicians all he really needs is small arms rather than heavy launchers and ammo that just weigh him down.
The current cope from authorities is that he's killed himself.
Perhaps this just intended to calm the population. The man has training and experience in specops so he must know how to survive in conditions like this. Perhaps he also understands the media attention span cycle.
Belgium’s anti-lockdown ‘Rambo’ facing terrorism charges, TRACELESS for 5 days while several countries join manhunt efforts
Hundreds of troops from Belgium, and beyond, have now thoroughly searched a vast area in the country where a fugitive soldier armed with highly dangerous weapons is believed to be hiding. However, no trace of him has been found.
Uh-oh.
Uh-oh!
Uh-oh!
So now we see what the system fears the most in totality. Not those who become radicalized after leaving the military, but those who desert on the job with access to weapons. Furthermore when they have a narrow list of targets consisting of people at the top, not randos at the bottom. I'm 50/50 on whether those letters were a moment of weakness or calculated to reach the news and incite panic.

A ‘Far-Right’ Soldier Stole Weapons and Disappeared into a Forest – Or Did He?
Jurgen Conings has been missing for a week, with elite counterterror units unable to find him. Now security officials tell VICE World News Conings has probably eluded them by purposely abandoning his car and weapons near a national park.
