My heart bleeds for Kraków.
But it’s time to bust a couple of lies about Poland.
Kraków is a city which - whatever time of the year - feels shrouded in mystery and the ancient steps of people long gone before us. A city which was mercifully spared the ravages of destruction from World War 2. A city which, yesterday, had the more modern invention of a marauding gun attack visited upon it.
Yesterday 6 people - including a British citizen - were shot dead and more than a dozen injured in the kind of callous attack that has been all too common in America and has, for the first time, come to Poland.
The facts as they have been established were that this was a lone shooter, identified as a Polish citizen (who I am refusing to name) with a gun licence. In the evening it has been confirmed that his parents and sister have been found dead at their home.
Although it’s too early to say, this all fits the pattern of the disaffected lone killer that we know so well from America. A chance remark, a long-standing family feud, some rent in the family dynamic causes a young man to kill his family. Then, in a fit of destructive rage, a gottderamerung, he decides to visit that same death on innocents in a public place. “Some men just want to watch the world burn.” Freud’s death drive writ large.
The killer was only stopped when Polish police officers, identified as Jakub Kulik and Artur Morański, opened fire with their pistols at close range and between them managed to shoot the killer.
In line with American best practice I recommend that we do not name this killer. He is a scumbag. He is a fool. If he lives he will be one of the most hated men in the country. He deserves no place on this earth and if he does survive, I hope it is only to be placed in the worst possible Polish prison with men who will know exactly what to do on behalf of his victims.
There has been a myth around that Poland has had no terrorist attacks (because of no immigration). This is a two-fold lie.
First of all, Poland has experienced an enormous amount of immigration in the past 6 years. This “Be Like Poland” myth that Poland is some kind of fortress that has locked down on migrants is absolute nonsense. There are now at least 2 million immigrants in Poland from all around the world and they are visible on the streets everywhere you go.
Secondly, Poland has had its own home-grown terrorist problems before. In 2012 Bruno Kwiecień - also from Kraków - was arrested before he was able to carry out his plan to blow up the Polish parliament. Just last year, three 19-year olds from Olsztyn were arrested by the Polish security services for planning to bomb schools and LGBT parades. This year, a 17 year old Polish citizen was arrested for gathering weapons to attack a local school and mosque (yes, there are mosques in Poland).
Some final thoughts
Firstly, my heart goes out to the victims and the Police who undoubtedly saved many lives yesterday by responding so swifty. It aches for the pain and suffering of their families.
Secondly, young men in Poland are like young men anywhere. They see the same videos on TikTok about Andres Breivik, Brenton Tarrant as any other kid. Polish youth are not immune from the disaffection that causes someone to take life without reason.
Thirdly, we are blessed that Poland is a country with extremely low gun deaths. I would hope that this would not lead to a crackdown on legal gun ownership.
Fourthly, train up. I have trained as both a civilian and combat life-saver and I never leave the house without a full medical kit with all the equipment ready to deal with gun shot wounds. I hope never to have to use it.
Fifth, a word about the future.
I have already publicly stated that I believe that Poland has a 5th column in this country which our enemy will exploit at the right time. My first thought, when I opened up my phone, was that this time had come. It appears for now that is not the case.
But it is my sad and final prediction that this is not the last time that marauding death will be visited upon our beautiful country.
Prepare accordingly.
