I have attended many Christmas markets over the years. They are so crowded especially at the moment as German children finished school for the Christmas holidays. Frightening, my prayers are with all the victim's 🙏

Because this is just another example of how the media are trying to cancel Christmas.

I didn't think an explanation was necessary. I will now adjust my expectations of reading comprehension levels by certain posters on this thread.

It's very possible that he is just some crazy lunatic and anything else just doesn't matter.

Not accepting that . You clearly didn't know what you were taking about & thought the holy phrase was a slur.
Judging by your following posting you clearly did some research & realised it is in fact not a slur.. poor form, taste & extremely bad judgement from you

Happy Holidays comes from the fact that a few dozen other faiths also have their major celebrations during this season. And nobody is cancelling Christmas- that is a trope used by the likes of Britain First, the EDL and the like. But it's good of you to show your true colours.

Go for it!

Doubt you'll get the engagement without the breaking news headlines - not even front page news in the UK anymore

We'll see

Not good enough . Especially if as he was on Germany security's radar.

WTF?!
Lying about Santa Claus isn't a christmas tradition. Hell many Christians don' even have Santa.
The is a running conspiracy thread maybe you should post there.

Well it wouldn't be as this happened in Germany not the UK!!

Accept it or not, I don't care. I know what you are now so nothing you say is of any interest to me. You believe the 'media cancelling Christmas ' nonsense. Only people with the intellect of a goldfish believe that one.

Pointy I don't take any of your contributions seriously as you thinking that the Muslim holy blessing is a slur!!!

Sadly it's full. It does have a certain amount of comedy value.

😂

Only someone with intellect of a goldfish would believe Allahu Akbar is a slur. It is actually the most pig ignorant comment I gave seen in a long time.

Don't think that's actually true - tip-offs were investigated then 'case closed'

More likely seen as a bit of a deranged pest [rather than a security threat]

And the internet is full of those

But surely they can't close a case if he's a threat? And look what has happened.

Not good enough for whom?
For the german security forces? Certainly they aren't the best when it comes to terrorist attacks.
There seem to be more Information coming out that he has in fact paranoid delusions.
Which might be why he Fell through the Cracks.

But of course I do not and never did believe that. You just want to interpret it that way. I still have no idea why.

Bit of a logic fail there

It's only in retrospect that he's now considered a threat

The tricky bit is working out in advance which of the huge number of people making threats on the internet will go on to act out

Of course they can.
Why though isn't known yet. There will be inquiries.

Tell that to the families of the 5 dead & tell that to the 200 injured. It's not good enough for a potential murderer to fall through the cracks.

You called the phrase a slur. You were either genuinely ignorant as to meaning or you genuinely believe it was a slur. You said it. Ignorant, disgusting, divisive rhetoric.

Or option 3: you chose to misinterpret what I posted. Zero sum arguments don't have any value.

I am just disagreeing with you to fill up the thread.

Nope. I seen the post - you called it a slur. Go back and see what you wrote before you embarrass yourself any further
