EPT in Berlin attacked!!!

[tmiby]

This is no fucking joke:
THe EPT in Berlin was attacked today by a couple of bad guys with machine guns and grenades. Nobody died. Maybe some are injured. Don't know yet.
The main Jackpot was 4.7 Mio. Euro. I've heard that this money should be save. But there was still a big sum (800'000 Euro expected) of cash - they got it and took off.

That's a huge "squeeze play"

Really sick. I really don't know, why the security guys were not able to deal with 5ppl... I mean: Why do you hire guards, if they can't protect you vs 5 robbers.

Wow this is insane. I would think the security would be a bit tighter than this. On the other hand, machine guns and grenades is some pretty heavy weaponry.

i just think that security guards were not prepared for something "serious" like this.
This thing is just on another level.

The updates that I have read say that no machine guns were used, but there was firearms. Check out this video though, it shows a lot more of the incident.
