“Do you like ICE?"
Anti-Americanism abroad is hardly a new or rare phenomenon. I’ve experienced it myself as far back as the late 1980s when I backpacked throughout Europe. It wasn’t new or rare even then, but that was before countless neighborhoods and mass transit in western Europe were transformed by uncontrolled migration from Africa and the Middle East into increasingly Third World hellscapes.
A short video clip filmed at the beginning of February has made its way onto social media, showing a pair of vacationing mothers from Alabama and their two 12-year-old daughters, who were confronted and terrorized by a knife-wielding man aboard a train in Brussels, Belgium.
Amanda Hardy, one of the mothers, later told reporters that a man emerged from the train car bathroom and approached them, first asking whether the women were American. He then asked, Hardy recounted, “‘Do you like ICE?’ And we did not respond to that. He then pulled out a knife – our estimation is about 18 inches long or so. He then threw down a jacket and a scarf on the ground, and that’s when he said, ‘F__ ICE, I can shoot too. I shoot faster than Americans.’”
Hardy and her friend Courtney Sucher began hurrying their children to the far side of the train car. The jittery video shows the group fleeing with their luggage through the crowded train, screaming for help, while no other passengers appeared to intervene or assist.

It took the women and their daughters an estimated three minutes to exit the train, Hardy said. “We don’t know how far he was chasing us, if he was chasing us at all, if he disappeared into the crowd or sat down. But he stood there and acted as if he had done nothing.”
After the group exited the train, four bystanders approached to offer comfort and assistance. “They were literally angels on earth. They stayed with us until we felt okay or at least, we thought we felt okay,” Hardy said.
One bystander suggested that the group contact the U.S. Embassy. Hardy spent 40 minutes on separate calls reporting the incident and requesting assistance with their travel plans. But the embassy response was anything but reassuring. --->READ MORE HERE
An overseas birthday celebration trip turned into a terrifying experience for two Alabama mothers and their two 12-year-old daughters when a man with a knife approached their group aboard a train in Brussels, Belgium, in early February.
According to Amanda Hardy, one of the mothers, the man first asked whether the group was American. When they did not respond to his next question, the situation escalated rapidly.
“He asked if we like ICE. And we didn’t respond. And then his next action was to draw a knife,” Hardy said.
Hardy recorded video of what she described as an approximately 18-inch knife wrapped with a blue scarf. During the encounter, the man made additional threatening statements.
“We knew he had a knife. He also said ‘I can shoot, too’ — but when he said that, my back was to him and we were trying to escape,” Hardy said.
The video shows the group fleeing through the train while screaming for help. It took them three minutes to exit the train, Hardy said.
“We don’t know how far he was chasing us, if he was chasing us at all, if he disappeared into the crowd or sat down. But he stood there and acted as if he had done nothing,” Hardy said.
Four bystanders approached the group after they exited the train, offering comfort and assistance.
“They were literally angels on earth. They stayed with us until we felt okay or at least, we thought we felt okay,” Hardy said.
