Can we talk about Germany for a bit?

[Tankrizzo]

Uh oh...shades of Nice?

[mizx]

Isn't it a bit early to be posting this in such a thread?

edit: on reddit live thread Police have suggested it is terrorism, so it's no longer too early to speculate, there's a thread for this anyway
edit2: turns out this has been contradicted multiple times, that's reddit for you I guess!

Suspect arrested according to Reddit.

how will Merkel address this if indeed it is a terrorist attack.

[Northern Munkee]

In another news, remember the woman who was kicked from behind walking down the stairs in the underground?

Perp arrested, not German.... another shining example of the success of the EU project, and it's free movement of "workers"

Seems the German people aren't integrating quickly enough for some.

I just watched the Bild video. Rehabilitation not needed here. Imagine that was your girlfriend or wife? There are low life but there are those that should be, well, just simply rid of. He's one.  
The wondrous Merkel and EU project, eh?

this turning the other cheek doesn't seem to be going too well at times does it.

seriously wtf difference does it make where the guy came from? If he'd kicked a woman down the stairs in Sofia that would've been fine?

if he'd been from Munich it wouldn't be so bad?

That and large parts of the Geneva convention are so last century. Like an army, perfectly prepared to win the last battle it fought (but not necessarily the next) our means of dealing with the threats of the 21st century are repeatedly found lacking.

I can fully understand and agree with the fact Europe had to take refugees from Syria (and, for that matter, other places such as Iraq and Afghanistan) but the exercise should have been done in parallel with a rigorous and ruthless anti-terror and anti-extremism program. We are failing.
