Attack on Magdeburg, Germany.

[Novostranger]

Car runs over a crowd in a German Christmas market. At least 80 people have been injured and 2 or 11 (according some sources) have perished as a result.

It has been said that the perpetrator was a man from Saudi Arabia. And now more and more markets are being patrolled in the country.

Is Germany going to ban cars now?

Maybe control them better, just like USA should with guns.

What would car control entail?

You could blockade the kristkindlmarkts with concrete blocks

Now tell people why they were banned. Do it. Do it.

They are literally considered "weapons", "stab weapons".

We follow the police around catching criminals, Politijagten, and they stop people with pencils, they use at work, and crayons, and everyone is quietly laughing, and the Danish police officer, trash human being that needs to be taken out in the trash, is serious, and they get charged with it.

Yes - but first these wouldn´t block a truck, and second they let one lane open for emergencies - which this kind of was - but the other way around. They could have placed police cars there, or ambulances. Still it doesn´t save against someone who might have a bomb, or someone who might shoot at the people, or dark magic.

Usually these concrete block solutions are about creating a feeling of security - they´re not about actual security. It´s like having a random police officer somewhere - a feeling of security, because anybody who would like to get rid of him could do so, or wait till he looks the other way...

And it´s not the only Christmas market in Germany. Like any little town has one. Like there are thousands of it. Also Christkind. Like Kind as in child, and Christ as in ♥♥♥♥♥. The L is a southern accent. Markt like in market, but here it also means fair. So basically a fair for the ♥♥♥♥♥ child. But also not the term which most people would use. As they would say Weihnachtsmarkt. Weihnacht like in Christmas. The S only binds the two words together. I only say this, because it´s rather specific what You said.

There's already a ton of control. Try to find out how many traffic laws and car ownership regulations, insurance etc?
There's a lot of "control" there, but it does nothing to deal with mental health issues.

Maybe one day the oligarchs will ban manually driven cars outright.

The saudis warned the german 3 times. And of course, the germans did nothing as usual as per normal procedure.

Saudi Arabia warned that the guy was trouble. Germany chose to defend him and prevent repatriation

Honestly whoever was responsible for this on the Germany's side should be held accountable.

Saudi warnings about market attack suspect were ignored

No they did not.
Why do you always go full extreme with your claims.

Adam, stop lying. I do facts.

We literally, all watch it, on national television, Kanal 5, Politijagten. They get stopped and told to pull into a gas station, and they go through his car and he has pencils and crayons from work that he get charged for as being fully automatic machine weapon crayons.

He has a green Pica Dry. That noone from this police knows what is, cause it is used by workers. And noone in the entire Danish police force, or any government lawyers/liars, judges, case worker, any kommunist government employee, anywhere in the entire, worlds largest, more than 50% of the people are paid by the government, knows what is - cause they have never worked 1 day in their life.

Today we are watching Jimmie and Malte cycling around on their bicycles, with helmets, and Benjamin Touré another with an IQ not enough to enter kindergarden, stops a bicycle cause it went 3 km/t too fast.

You can't make this sjit up. Every single employee in the "Danish" police force, anklagemyndighed, government, lawyer/liar whatever you want to call them - could all be replaced by orangutangs and they would have done a better job than these low iq officers who couldn't even enter a kindergarden with those low levels.

Horrible.
But I keep hearing about the killer's background, what he used to stand for, what he lately stood for etc He both made jihadi statements and at the same time he would
claim far-right, anti-islam rhetoric.
At this point, what difference does it make?

Looks like a schizo to me in the end, but an attack on an
unsuspecting crowd of families is something jihadis have done and would do.
Like previously in France, Germany, Ireland and the UK.
There have been some incidents in Greece too (by migrants vs people I mean) but they weren't tied to terror.

please note that the far right *also* have used the car as a weapon tactic.

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c98l95d1773o

The article doesn´t say when they made the warnings, but according to it i assume they made them in 2016, when he got asylum and the warning was about that he wouldn´t support the Saudi government, and would do human trafficking for helping people getting out of Saudi Arabia - while he literally founded an organization to help refugees in Germany. Also they apparently asked to get him back to put him into prison for not being a Muslim, but Germany refused. Other things not in the article are a bit more worrisome, which actually led him to be on a list...

Also the article claims it´s his car, but the licence plate shows a "M" which stands for Munich, while "MD" would be Magdeburg. Munich is the seat of the biggest car rental service. So i suppose it´s a rental car.

What was his job by the way? Oh - he´s a psychologist. That´s probably why they somehow "dropped the ball" - because i´m 100% sure it wouldn´t have happened if he was a construction site worker, or lifter driver, or whatever low wage jobs there are. It´s that way because we in Germany treat everyone equally...
