One More Joy of Diversity: Brussels' Bullet-Riddled Bonanza! By Richard Miller (Londonistan)

Diversity — the gift that keeps on giving! In the heart of Europe, where chocolate flows like wine and waffles are a food group, Brussels is serving up a fresh platter of multicultural merriment: a symphony of gunfire that's got everyone dancing. Who knew that the "gun crime capital of Europe" would be such a vibrant hotspot? According to the latest stats, the city has clocked about 60 shootings this year, with a third sizzling through the summer like fireworks at a multicultural festival. Two fatalities? Pfft, that's just the appetizer. Praise be to the joys of open borders, without them, where would we get our daily dose of "shock effect" patrols?

Enter Defense Minister Theo Francken, the Flemish firebrand who's basically saying, "Sure, why not toss some soldiers into the mix?" In his Le Soir chat, he's all, "I'm open to it, but let's keep it legal and limited." Translation: The police are overwhelmed, the gangs are brazen, and the stray bullets are playing Russian roulette with every resident. But hey, that's the price of progress! Francken, with his hardline migration vibes, notes how this "dire" situation spills over to nearby regions. It's like a bad sequel: Brussels Burning 2: Suburban Spread.

And let's not forget Security Minister Bernard Quentin calling it a "catastrophe." Joint police-army teams for "criminal hotspots"? Sounds like a blockbuster action flick, but in real life, it's just another Tuesday in Anderlecht or Molenbeek, those charming neighborhoods synonymous with gang vibes and drug deals. Euronews crowns Brussels the gun king of Europe, and why not? With 46% foreign-born residents (27% non-EU, per Statbel), the city's a melting pot bubbling over with... excitement! Public prosecutor Julien Moinil warns that anyone could catch a stray, democracy in action, folks!

But let's celebrate the upside! Diversity brings exotic cuisine, colourful festivals, and now, complimentary urban target practice, and bullet dodging. Who needs boring old safety when you can have the thrill of dodging lead while sipping a Belgian brew? Critics might whine about "social and security challenges," but that's just code for "ungrateful natives." After all, without this influx, Brussels might still be that dull EU bureaucracy hub. Now it's got edge, literally, with all those bullets whizzing by.

Francken's hedging: "I didn't say yes, but I didn't say no." Classic politician tango. Deploy troops before year's end? Why rush? Let the gangs marinate a bit longer for that authentic flavour. In the meantime, residents can practice their duck-and-cover drills as a team-building exercise. Nothing bonds a community like shared near-death experiences!

So, here's to one more joy of diversity: turning the capital into a live-action shooter game. If only we could bottle this energy and export it … wait, isn't that what migration does?

"Belgian Defense Minister Theo Francken has said he could deploy soldiers to patrol Brussels before the end of the year, as the government faces mounting pressure to curb violent crime and restore order in the capital.

The city has recorded roughly 60 shootings so far this year – about one-third of them during the summer months – resulting in two fatalities, according to local media reports.

Last month, Security and Home Affairs Minister Bernard Quentin described the situation as "a catastrophe," warning that criminal gangs had grown "increasingly brazen." He urged the deployment of joint teams of police officers and soldiers to patrol "criminal hotspots in Brussels" in order to create a "shock effect."

In an interview with Le Soir published on Saturday, Francken, a member of the Flemish nationalist N-VA party, said he did not object to deploying troops, but insisted it must be legally justified and limited to essential security duties.

I'm always open to increasing security in Brussels," said Francken, who is known for his hardline stance on migration. "The situation has become dire, both in terms of security and on a political and societal level." He added that unrest in the capital "affects nearby regions."

"Security falls to the police, not to the army. However, when the Interior Minister asks me, it becomes a task for Defense, which must protect the nation," he continued. "Is it possible to put soldiers on the streets before the end of the year? I didn't say yes, but I didn't say no."

Brussels' public prosecutor Julien Moinil recently reported that the city had recorded 57 shootings by mid-August, including 20 during the summer months, urging a coordinated crackdown on gangs. In his warning that "anyone, every Brussels resident and every citizen, can be hit by a stray bullet," Moinil underscored the growing danger posed by violent crime in the capital.

A recent Euronews report described Brussels as the "gun crime capital of Europe," noting that many of the incidents occurred in neighborhoods such as Anderlecht and Molenbeek, areas long associated with gang activity and drug trafficking.

According to Statbel, Belgium's national statistics office, 46% of Brussels residents are foreign-born (27% outside the EU), compared with 18% nationwide, a demographic shift that officials say has deepened the city's social and security challenges.
