Terrorism in Germany?
Apr 8^th, 2018 at 8:56am

Link.

Quote:

A van has crashed into people drinking outside a popular bar in the German city of Muenster, killing two people and injuring 20 others before the driver of the vehicle shot and killed himself inside it, police said.

A top German security official said there was no indication of an Islamic extremist motive but officials were investigating all possibilities in the deadly crash that took place at 3:27pm (local time).

Witnesses said people ran away screaming from the city square after the crash. Police quickly set up a large cordoned-off area for their investigation and ambulances rushed to the site.

Six of the 20 injured were in severe condition, according to police spokesman Andreas Bode.

Herbert Reul, the interior minister of North Rhine-Westphalia state where Muenster is located, said the driver of the van was a German citizen.

He stressed the investigation was at an early stage but said "at the moment, nothing speaks for there being any Islamist background".

I do.

An ISLAMIST is a follower of ISLAM.

You can take my word for it!

Although the perpetrator has not been officially named, he has been identified locally as Jens R, a German citizen born about an hour south of the city of Münster, where the attack took place.

Or in other words, a lilly white guy.

And so naturally we now turn our attention to the "mental illness" angle.

Yes.

This will bring out the apologists.

We always do.

A belief in a sky fairy after the age of 8 or 9 is a mental illness, some suffer delusions greater than others.

An sometimes those delusions manifest themselves in mass murders and more often in one group more than others.

Reply #13 - Apr 9^th, 2018 at 11:39am From Gandalf's link......there is reference to mental illness and that this could have been some grand suicide thing, also, the AK47 was incapable of firing, and that the guy is thought to have some connection with an extreme right wing group. No suggestion of any link to Islam or being an Islamist or ISIS supporter etc.

It obviously meant something to your Muslim mate Gandalf. Don't just single me out. Usually ethnicity and race is a good indicator of motive if there is one. This guy was well off apparently.
