[ImmediateReaction]

The latest in a string of attacks in Germany today. Its awful.

What's the answer?

You just doubled down with your sorry not sorry.
It is not always immigrants, but they are the cases you will hear about as it fits a narrative.
Anyway thoughts to all injured.

according to the Guardian a German citizen has been identified as the perpetrator, so on this occasion, bit too hasty.

exactly this

You just doubled down with your sorry not sorry.

I wasn't saying sorry.

And why doesnt it get discussed much I wonder?
Why are these incidents consistently ignored/brushed over in the MSM?

(scratches head in puzzlement)

Dude is hasn't even been 7 hours and you are already starting with the politics.

How is it brushed under the carpet?
It is widely discussed in every Media outlet, same after Munich.

Starting with the politics? I'm expressing my opinion which is in fact shared (and feared) my many others. The rise of the far right is happening, in seven European countries to be precise.

Why is it acceptable to say it's a male problem but unacceptable to say it's an immigrant problem?

Well you do you. I am waiting for the facts to come out and in the meantime give my thoughts to victim but everyone has different priorities.

We all have the problem with these “attacks” happening.
wish there was a cure for violent crazy fluckers who can’t think logically. Being a crazy murdering psycho only makes things worse for your “cause” / community.

Do you blame every white person when a white person commits a heinous crime?

It hits the news because it fills the hateful narrative to poc.

Again the thoughts should be to the victims not hate filled, racist, angry mob mentality which breeds fear to innocent people.

It's not discussed as a male problem, even though it clearly is, regardless of race. Though even if it were it'd be 'how can we help these poor sweet souls who feel compelled to violently attack others, as we could easily be in their shoes'?

Because it was a German not an immigrant.

I agree with your post.

Germany's problem, from my experience of a Christmas market holiday, is that they have near zero concept of security.

Wander in and out, loads of places you could drive a car up, no bag checks, lots of people crammed in together with no management of numbers or avoiding a crush.

People drive cars into crowds in Germany because Germany doesn't yet appear to have got it's act together on safety, or because Germans are prioritising free unmonitored association higher.

Just because someone has German citizenship does not mean they are also not an immigrant.

What does 'intervening earlier' when there are signs look like though? You can monitor, or you can offer help. What kind of monitoring would be adequate without being heavy handed, and cover enough risky people but be affordable? What help can be offered and what happens if someone doesn't want it or comply with it? I think we end up in a cycle of collecting and filtering more chatter, deciding we need the powers to do more listening in, and de facto taking less action because.theres too much to act on and we're not very good at doing it.

Yeah well, that's prejudice for you, no need to wait for facts before broadcasting.

No idea about current car attack/accident but previous attacks as follows:

"Police have not confirmed if the incident was a deliberate attack.
But, Germany has endured a number of violent attacks over the last year, which have left several people dead and hundreds injured.
Nine months ago, also in Mannheim and only a few blocks away from where Monday's attack is believed to have taken place, an Afghan man stabbed several people, killing a policeman.
Then, in August, another knife attack left eight people injured and three dead in Solingen. The Syrian man who was charged with the crime was suspected of links with the Islamic State terrorist group.
In December a man rammed a car into a crowd at a Christmas market in Magdeburg, leaving six dead and 299 injured. A 50-year-old Saudi psychiatrist was arrested.
In January, a 28-year-old Afghan asylum seeker attacked a group of small children in a park in the Bavarian town of Aschaffenburg, killing a two-year-old child and a passer-by who tried to help the boy.
And in February, a 24-year-old Afghan asylum seeker drove a car into a crowd, injuring more than two dozen people. A mother and child later died from their injuries.
"

Two people died today

Absolutely. They don't get it and don't implement lessons learned.

Yeah well, that's prejudice for you, no need to wait for facts before broadcasting.

It's just pattern recognition.

I.e "I'm a bigot but I stand by it" is what that post is saying.

I like to read BBC coverage … the carefully chosen words. I use BBC as an indicator - the more the use words to not say immigrant, or big announcement “German citizen”or longer they take to report an item other outlets are covering … the more likely it is a newcomer - citizen or not.

I.e "I'm a bigot but I stand by it" is what that post is saying.

That's fine, if you've got some counter-data to prove that what I'm saying is bigotry rather than a pattern of offending, I'd be happy to see that.

If I were claiming that all immigrants were terrorist attackers, that to my mind would be bigotry. But I'm not.
