Nasty News, Curious Questions, From ‘Diverse’ Utrecht!
The ‘breaking news’ from Holland began with bare details, so one of the international channels available here in Indonesia had some lady on to tell us ‘a little about Utrecht.’

Another nice, old, once-Dutch city, now ‘diverse…’

A brief general outline of the city followed, but as soon as we heard that it was ‘diverse’ I sensed what the whole story would reveal.
Now we know that the police are hunting for some ‘Turkish-origin’ inhabitant of The Netherlands, and while we wait and hope that no further innocent lives are lost and hope too that whoever the gunman may be, he is shot dead by police and thus no waste of money on a trial and prison arises from this murderous atrocity…

Gokman Tanis (born in Turkey)
BBC Turkish quoted an anonymous businessperson as saying.“He was arrested over suspected links to the ISIL a few years ago and then released,” http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/turkish-suspect-of-utrecht-shooting-was-arrested-over-links-to-isil-report-141990

…we have a picture of somebody who may be able to help police enquiries…

Very much to the heart of the issue, your stress on the ‘diverse’ character of the city.
It is bafflng why media and political reporting always tries to present ‘diversity’ as a plus.
To most of us, of course, a homogeneous society is almost bound to be less unstable than a place where the native people find themselves facing mass immigration by aliens, and in particular aliens whose ‘values’ are incompatible,

I don’t for a moment imagine the Dutch Government will do anything sbout the migrant menace.
They might, though, announce plans to fix their gun laws.

On the latest news, the police have captured that Turk.
Regardless, your questions are still very relevant, and your comments on ‘diversity’ are well made.
Diversity is a problem, not a boon, unless the ‘diverse’ cultures are long part of a country, like in Indonesia, for example.
When foreigners decide to settle in an established nation state, they need to remember whose country they are coming to and treat their hosts with respect.
When in Rome, etc.
