    "An eyewitness told FOCUS Online: "I saw countless people jumping to the side, over 30 people were lying on the street, some of them motionless."

    Men, women and children, God help us. Rest in Peace to those murdered.

    most reports are just saying 2 dead and a 51 year old man arrested, I wouldnt jump to terror attack on that one

    It’ll be a terror attack.
    It’ll be a recently arrived Muslim refugee
    People will make excuses

    We know the pattern by now.

    Says 51 year old German guy has been stopped and arrested from the vehicle. Has not yet been spoken to. Insulin was found in the mans Range Rover.

    More than two dead and also some of the injured are in a bad way. Crazy. Hope they pull through.

    Edit: The thread title is really jumping to conclusions a bit.

    A 3 month old baby among the dead apparently, very sad.

    According to the BBC, it wasn't a person that carried out the attack, it was a car:

    Could be the driver having a heart attack and ploughing into a crowd?

    I know that pattern , but there is also a more mundane one, and there seems to be a couple of hints that its the other one

    A reporter on Sky saying he doesn't know if it was an attack or tragic accident. Anybody who know Trier well would know that if you drive from the Porta Nigra right up to the market square it's not accidental - that's 200 meters of pedestrian street before you get to the square.

    I know someone living there who says they raced the whole way down a street - that does not sound like an insulin drop. 4 dead, 30 injured now. Terrible.

    Sh!t - are they ok? Must have been quite terrifying to be that close.

    even calling it a terror attack - is any of that confirmed, or is it a tragic accident?

    I’ll be the first to withdraw if it’s shown to be that yeah but the first thought must be the usual. Sadly.

    It's a good job the Christmas market didn't go ahead or it could've been a lot worse.

    A terrorist attacker being 51 years old would be quite rare I would have thought.

    Not necessarily - possibly one of the sad ***** who groom the kids in his mosque decided he wanted the “glory”.

    Well according to the Mayor of Trier the driver had gone on a "rampage."

    Reports say a 51 year old man from the area has been arrested.

    When most of us say "social justice" we mean equality under the law opposition to prejudice, discrimination and equal opportunities for all. When Social Justice Activists say "social justice" they mean an emphasis on group identity over the rights of the individual, a rejection of social liberalism, and the assumption that unequal outcomes are always evidence of structural inequalities.

    That's what I was saying. I know that town very well and there's no way you would make it from the Porta Nigra up to the square unless it was on purpose.
