Berlin: at least nine dead after truck crashes into Christmas market

[tracktorr]

I really hate those terrorists who spread fear and death to innocent civilians. Hope justice be given to the families of the victims and that they may rest in peace.

Berlin should strengthen and tighten  and they  will not be attacked again by terrorists. Thy should do this as soon as possible

Unfortunately from terrorists is not possible to defend. They are waging a treacherous war. Enemy can win if he openly attacks. How can you foresee what an ordinary man will decide to commit a crime?

Remove or change the ideology that drives them to do these things.  Otherwise, you have to remove the followers of Islam from your country.  And that will not happen.  Germany suffers from post-Nazism syndrome.  They are afraid to go down that path.

People are imprisoned for even criticizing minorities. They have very strong hate laws now. The problem is the government is afraid to use the law when it comes to Muslims.

It's really a problem. They did not need initially to start up on the territory of Europe. Now if hard will not fight with them, the government will begin the riots and this will lead to a resurgence of fascist ideology.

No it will not.  It will lead to rational changes in attitude and behavior.  Rational responses to the new realities thrust on them.   Those responses will be LABELED fascist by people with political objectives.

People need to be freed of the chains put on them by these perverted liberal authoritarian controllers.  They are twisted sick puppies.

Muslims are the evil from which Europe a very long time to get rid of. They cannot adapt to civilization. How many a wild beast not to educate but he is still a beast, and at any moment could attack.

Update on the story, total number of people killed: 12, wonder: 49

Police are now looking for Tunisian asylum-seeker Anis Amri, they found his id document under the seat of the truck.

http://www.reuters.com/article/us-germany-truck-idUSKBN148287
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-38392128

The warrant lists six different aliases used by Anis Amri, who at times tried to pass himself off as an Egyptian or Lebanese.
He is reported to have travelled to Italy in 2012 and then on to Germany in 2015 where he applied for asylum and was granted temporary leave to stay in April of this year.

After being turned down for asylum, the man should have been deported but could not be returned to Tunisia because his documents were missing

The suspect had reportedly been under German surveillance earlier this year on suspicion of seeking to buy guns.

There was everything wrong with this guy and they justlet him walk freely.

There's the €100,000 reward. Here's the photo

And how can you protect people from terrorist attacks? In our time is the problem. Arms so perfectly that it is difficult to detect and it has great destructive force. So many victims. Now generally began to use cars.

Is this real? I know terrorists are assholes but I can't understand how the guy could be dumb enough to forget his ID in the truck.
If I were him, I would just walk into a police station and tell that I've lost my wallet.

by not bringing muslims into your country. guns, knives and trucks are not the culprits here.

Not let them in, ban islam and kick everyone who is muslim. Tho si doesnt have to be that extreme but that whole thing with the muslims got tougher with this mass immigration, now you have no idea who's who, who was here and who got it recently...

Well that's pretty simple, but not neccesarily a all out ban but a nice background check on who's who could do a little better job. The open border policy and the pushing of multiculturalism has made it a lot, a lot harder to do so. Also, people should arm themselves, you can never be too safe in this time.

Here is what the President-Elect has to say.

http://time.com/4611229/donald-trump-berlin-attack/

President-elect Donald Trump on Wednesday called the recent attacks in Germany and Turkey “terrible” and suggested that he does not intend to reevaluate his plans to ban Muslims from immigrating to the United States, boasting that he had been “proven to be right.”

“You know my plans. All along, I’ve been proven to be right. 100% correct. What’s happening is disgraceful,” Trump told reporters Wednesday when asked whether the recent violence has influenced his proposed Muslim ban.

Trump described the attack at a Berlin Christmas market as an “attack on humanity.”

“That’s what it is: an attack on humanity,” he said. “And it’s got to be stopped.”

Trump said he had not spoken with President Obama since the attacks.

“Innocent civilians were murdered in the streets as they prepared to celebrate the Christmas holiday,” Trump said in an initial statement about the attack on Monday. “ISIS and other Islamist terrorists continually slaughter Christians in their communities and places of worship as part of their global jihad.”

That is the point. The attacks are occurring in countries such as France and Germany, which gave asylum to these people. There are no attacks in countries such as Switzerland and Russia, which rejected the asylum claims of these people.

You do not mistake? I have not heard that Switzerland and Russia have offered to host on its territory of refugees. Besides, in Russia a lot of problems with Muslims. And these problems will only increase.

Do you have any proof for this? Both Switzerland and Russia have accepted less than 1,000 asylum seekers from Syria (a lot more have used Russia as a transit point to Europe, though). Now compare that to the figure of 1 million, which Germany accepted in less than a year. The Muslim problem in Russia, is much more manageable than the same in France and Germany.

For those advocating banning entry to Muslims, that might stem the tide but won't drain out what has been left to enter unchecked. Even if no one with links to terrorist organizations abroad enter Germany, these groups now have a recruiting pool in Germany. For example, most of the violence in France are caused by home-grown terrorists.

They should increase surveillance and track German Muslims going abroad where they can be easily recruited into terror cells. They need to implement solutions before people become too pissed off, a far-right radical group emerges, and things get more nasty. I live in the Philippines, you probably heard of our drug war. Though the current administration's authoritarian leanings are definitely troubling, people seem to support the drug campaign. Why? Because we've grown tired of these petty drug dealers roaming the streets that now we don't care if we wake up to see dead bodies in front of our doors. That same thing can happen to Germans, they'd eventually get enough of Muslim terrorists that they'd support anything to get these out of their country.

To those who were hurt, I wish you a speedy recovery. To the families of those who died, no words can ease the pain but I give you my condolences.

Homegrown terrorists from France in most cases, was besotted by the Islamic propaganda when I traveled to Islamic countries. So from the threat of terrorism no one is immune. We need to eradicate Islam in Europe.

This song illustrates the sort of twisted sick thinking we are dealing with.

The Germans experienced the Nazi fascist rule, and experienced two German divisions, now they are a mature nation in the world, with its broad mind to lead Europe, believe they can win the challenge, win.

No point in using the word "homegrown". These people were born and brought up in France, but they never considered France as their homeland. They never assimilated with the native population. So nothing differentiate them from the new immigrants from the Middle East. It also proves that no amount of education and upbringing can eradicate the primitive urges among these people.

And how do you suggest that be done without actually killing innocent Muslims? It's not like they'd suddenly turn irreligious.

Should be immediately expelled from Europe all refugees. Along the border to establish minefields, and the road through the checkpoints on the border to guard with weapons and in any attempt of penetration to open fire.
