    Several people have been killed and injured after a car hit a crowd in Germany, according to police.

    Spiegel Online reported that a car drove into a group of people in the western German city of Muenster today, killing several and injuring others.

    A security source said it cannot rule out that the incident may be an attack.

    I was in Münster last month. I live in a city not far from there at all.

    Disappointing and sad, but hardly surprising given the instability which exists in the world currently.

    Get ready for the supporters of the peaceful religion Islam to keep away from this thread for a few days and then appear when things die down to come back on the thread and accuse us of being racist about a religion!

    If you look at the picture of the suspect looks like white German wouldn’t jump to conclusions

    Such instability never seems to hit Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Japan or any other country that thinks letting in people entirely unchecked is in any way a good idea. Funny that.


    Something I've wondered. When an attack happens and we see that ISIS claims responsibility- how is the medium of telling us this verifiably an ISIS commander? A year ago it could be an account that, say, live tweets battle videos, but those days are gone, they no longer have a base as such- what's to stop any random fundamentalist in Bradford or wherever appointing himself as the ISIS communications guy?

    I don't know. Why are Muslims so bad drivers?

    It's hard to see through these?

    Plenty of Bosnian Muslims in Germany. One in Austria attacked pedestrians in a covered up attack in 2015. The German authorities have lied about so many prior attacks that we have little option but to doubt them.

    And we wonder why the Dundalk attacker is "too ill" to attend court.

    Welcome to boards. Was it a Muslim driving? Are you at the scene to clarify? It’s so important to us all what religion the driver was.

    If you are of a gambling frame of mind you will know that past form is the key to current odds. Therefore on that precedent the chances are very strong. May not be a Muslim but the knowing bets are that it is.
    It is essential for us to know the driver's religion if that is his motivation. if you choose to bury your head in the sand you will eventually smother.

    I was in Germany recently with my German partner (who's lived in Ireland for 15 years). Honestly, the demography of some parts of the cities we were in was a real eye opener (Frankfurt and Koln being two of them). There are streets with not a hint of a German flag (but you see plenty of Turkish and North African ones), never mind streets with not a hint of a German person.


    I understand that there are rather unsavoury characters who come to threads like this to basically spread Neo-Nazi propaganda, and that the mods and members of online communities can get fed up, but you don't have to be the reincarnation of Heinrich Himmler to see that mass immigration has developed, and will lead to massive problems in Northern and Western Europe. I honestly forsee large swaths of countries like England, France and Germany resembling Yugoslavia in decades to come.

    More blood on Merkel hands.

    How many more must die because the far left feel guilty about Germany's past?

    I was in Germany a couple of months ago (Munich). There was a Pegida Rally at one of the busiest parts of the city. When I first seen it I thought "here we go, things are gonna kick off". I walked around the city and passed it by again a few hours later. There was nobody opposing it, none of the usual counter protests etc, just a handful of passers-by stopping to listen to what was said. I think the Germans are starting to realise what is on the horizon.

    The number of half wits joking about a mass murder shows just how obscene people can be

    I’ve reported all the “jokes”.

    Merkel is a right wing Christian Conservative. But keep going anyway.

    That would depend how far right you are looking from.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,573 ✭✭✭RandomName2


    Okay, so a serious post for a serious event:

    Just some information.

    A Kurdish rally was apparently planned in Munster for today. Unknown if there's a connection, but although there have been significant tensions between Turks and Kurds in Germany recently, it's probably unrelated.

    The driver has shot himself dead.

    This is the anniversary of the Stolkholm attack.

    One photograph of the scene suggested an outdoor cafe/restaurant was included in the attack (slightly reminiscent of Barcelona).

    I don’t really care wtf she is! she opened the flood gates! another German trying to destroy Europe, Hitler in the 20th and Merkel in the 21st century!

    On the attack police are hunting two accomplices and the driver committed suicide!

    Strange that he would shoot himself rather than bystanders/ attempt suicide by cop. Presumably could only get his hands on a dbl barrelled shotgun and feared being overpowered if he tried.

    Strange, accomplices who weren't driving.

    Probably bent on doing a knife attack after crashing and chickened out when faced with the sight of what they'd already done.

    I do find that a strange detail. Typically with Islamist extremist attacks (which this hasn't been confirmed to be, but every vehicular attack in Europe to date has been such) the attacker usually keeps going until killed or captured by police. Particularly when armed and attempting to kill as many people as possible.... maybe incapacitated....

    It already did in Dundalk. Remember the cover up when FG come around canvassing at your door next time. Gardai are absolutely certain there was no Islamist motive yet they don't even know the pricks name or nationality. Jesus wept.
