White or middle eastern.... I mean... mental illness or terrorism?
To all those „ban cars“ wannabe sarcasts... it’s a question of proportionality. Of course cars are dangerous, that’s why they are regulated heavily - more than guns in the us btw. But they also have huge upsides, therefore it’s tolerable. If the guy had a gun, they‘d be dead.
how bad are the injuries ? :(
The incident took place during celebrations for Rose Monday.
Wait. 'Several people injured'? That's it? It's almost as if cars are not nearly as effective as weapons as say, semi-automatic modern sporting tactical rifles for this sort of thing.
The driver accelerated toward the crowd and appeared to target children.
A silver Mercedes drove into a group of people at about 14.30 local time.
It is you turn now. We told you, after Ukraine and Syria, he will come for you. Are you 'deeply concerned' yet?

Oh how horrible
BREAKING Media jerks off over terror porn before knowing what actually happened!
More right wing extremism killings. Ban cars? No, ban conservatism. Especially on all social media.
iSlam ?
fyi it wasn't a truck, it was a fucking Mercedes station wagon, stop the misinformation. Also, this happened at 2:30pm local time, aka over 90 minutes ago and German media still barely picked up on it. Could still have been an accident according to local police.
My money is on “mental illness” and “aspiring engineer” and “diversity is our greatest strength”

No more illegal immigrants!!!!
What is going on in Germany? Isn't this the second attack within a week?
ach, varumm jetzt ?
It is about time we start taking cars away. They are being used as a weapon.
Well, we're having a great record recently aren't we... Can't even go a week without a major act of violence anymore 🤡 Seriously considering going back to the states, because at this rate even there, there's less of this shit.
We need common sense vehicle reform NOW! These weapons of war need to be off the streets!
Ban Uber. 😏
Evil driver
Ban trucks
