Poland stabbings driven by online glorification of violence, Tusk says

Three violent attacks at Polish schools this week were driven by online glorification of violence, said Prime Minister Donald Tusk. A woman was killed and others injured, including children, when a 15-year-old entered a primary school north of Warsaw. Police arrested 117 people for weapons possession or threats against schools, and security services held a special meeting after receiving threats against Tusk and the Defense Minister. Tusk linked the attacks to a rising fascination with violence, especially among far-right extremists, with increased online searches for Nazi content and mass killers who have become online idols.
