From the little we know at this stage there are clear comparisons with the Bastille day outrage in Nice.

Let's not jump to conclusions! Probably nothing to do at all to do with that well known Religion of 'Peace'.

The news broadcasters are now calling this atrocity an act of terrorism
Susie Sue, nothing surprises anymore me regarding the awful acts of cruelty carried out by extremists regardless of their ethnicity or religion usually on the innocent public who can not fight back.
Those who do this sort of thing are indoctrinated fools acting on behalf of fanatical cowards.

Our security services have done a great job so far in foiling plots here but the more serious threats are about to come as ISIS is being defeated in the Middle East European members are heading back to their own countries with a lot more knowledge and experience of terrorism than when they left.

One can only hope that something is done in response to this attack.
I hear the French will be illuminating the Eiffel Tower in the colours of the German flag.
I've done my bit by attaching a ribbon with the German flag on my Facebook/Snapchat/Twitter and Grindr profiles and hope others will do the same.
Thank goodness its the work of just a few misguided people who have no doubt misread the words of the Prophet (again).
I am especially pleased to see that the BBC have blamed a lorry for the attack rather than any terrorist action!
No doubt the Russian Ambassador to Turkey was killed yesterday by a 'gun'?

An asylum seeker from Pakistan to be accurate but why did they let him in as Pakistan is not at war?

The Germans let all who wanted to enter Germany cross their borders, an open border policy that many must now regret.
Far to easy to travel from Germany to Poland and back again or anywhere else in the EU a terrorist decides to kill and maim except this country thank goodness.

Because (as I've written before) the 1951 Convention and 1967 Protocol, signed by 146 nations including some of the most repressive on earth, now covers half the population of the planet!
It's become a bit of national virtue signalling which everyone signs and only idiots like us take any notice of!
Quote "Asylum should be given to those who face persecution 'for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion'."
Losing a Civil War? Welcome refugee.
You are gay and your country outlaws homosexualism? Welcome refugee.
Your country persecutes trade unionism? Welcome refugee.
The ruling party views you as a dangerous radical? Welcome refugee.
You worship the wrong sort of sky fairy? Welcome refugee.
Etc.

The suspect was known to the police for petty crimes but not for any terrorist links which is becoming a common trend. The Nice bomber was just a waster who spent all his money on drugs and alcohol and I seem to remember the Brussels bombers had criminal records. With their lives going nowhere it could be easy for a group of extremists to fill the empty minds of such people with nonsense where they end up thinking they will go to heaven if they kill people in God's name.

Seems that the Pakistani asylum seeker was not the perpetrator but more likely the closest, Muslim looking fella in the vicinity!

I don't know what the matter is with the German authorities the latest suspect is a Tunisian national with an unfortunate sounding name who is known to use other names. The police would only know this if they had nicked him before. As far as I can see no group is persecuted in Tunisia.

Rather spectacularly the Evening Standard have helpfully pixilated the suspect's photograph making it more difficult for members of the public to recognise him and point him out to the authorities!
Probably something to do with 'human rights innit'?
