What is Karst Tates?
{{nosources|date=June 2009}} '''Karst Tates''' (March 6, 1971 - May 1, 2009) was a [[Dutch people|Dutch]] man who tried to harm the [[Dutch Royal Family]] (including [[Willem-Alexander, Prince of Orange|Willem Alexander]] and [[Beatrix of the Netherlands|Beatrix]]). He tried to do this by making his car collide with the Royal Bus. This event happened in [[Apeldoorn]], [[Netherlands]] on 30 April, 2009, the Dutch [[national holiday]] of [[Queen's Day]] (''Koninginnedag''). He did not succeed, but killed seven people who were watching the festivities and himself. According to a policeman who claimed having talked to Tates, Tates said immediately after the crash that he had wanted to hit the members of the Royal Family that had just passed there in an open bus, because Willem-Alexander was a [[racist]] and a [[fascist]] in his view. After having been brought to hospital, Tates died from his wounds. {{DEFAULTSORT:Tates, Karst}} [[Category:1971 births]] [[Category:2009 deaths]] [[Category:Dutch people]] [[Category:Murderers who committed suicide]] {{bio-stub}}
