A 9-year-old is among 5 killed in the Christmas market attack in Germany

A 9-year-old was among five people killed when a Saudi doctor drove into a Christmas market teeming with holiday shoppers in the German city of Magdeburg, an official said Saturday, as people mourned the victims and their shaken sense of security.
City official Ronni Krug said he didn’t have further information on the adults who were killed on Friday night. He said 200 people were injured, of whom 41 in serious or very serious condition.
Prosecutor Horst Nopens said the suspect, a 50-year-old Saudi doctor, is under investigation on suspicion of murder, attempted murder and bodily harm. He is currently being questioned. He has lived in Germany since 2006, practicing medicine in Bernburg, about 40 kilometers (25 miles) south of Magdeburg, officials said.
“There is no more peaceful and cheerful place than a Christmas market,” Chancellor Olaf Scholz said. “What a terrible act it is to injure and kill so many people there with such brutality.”

If he was Islamophobic why did he attack Germans why is there no evidence that he renounced his religion. Kinda weird to hate Islam but attack people at Christmas.

[@PotentialUnlimited-ggs]

Exactly

[@HopkinsIsNotAVictim]

Remember when the media told us about Darrell Brooks Jr.'s motive? Yeah, me neither!

[@ameer.thelion]

No evidence? He was a public figure he had a whole blog he called himself the “biggest critic of Islam in history” tommy Robinson himself followed him. Just do your research fool

[@Qubert1971]

It makes perfect sense he was islamaphobic and carried out this attack on Christians. Simply put he knew how the world would react once this attack was carried out, which is to jump the conclusion he was Muslim and carried this attack out in the name of Islam. There’s evidence on social media that he was not only an ex Muslim but also anti-Islam

[@Da.R3al.Swim.Shady1]

The dude is Muslim, they are lying.

No this cant be right, CNN and MSNBC told me that guns are the problem.

[@bodhi1462]

Your thinking is so simplistic and uneducated. Typical of that side of the aisle. 😢

[@jadaboots-x2s]

Guns and these people are very big problems. Get both out of your Country.

[@JoshKrone]

Yup, they also tell us that we have a secure border.

[@CorruptDemocratsJ6]

@@bodhi1462 No, he's right, and YOUR "thinking" reminds me of the smug, arrogant, condescending, hypocritical, and often wrong "side of the aisle" that you probably hail from, kid. You know, the "side" that can't even explain what a Woman is. CNN and MSNBC are utter garbage and have been establishment/corporate paid off propaganda for a long time. Where are you from? How old are you? Have you even been paying attention?

Are you gonna stop saying he’s not Muslim. What a joke.

[@CorruptDemocratsJ6]

No surprise. More lies and obfuscation in order to further the global corporate agenda of mass invasion and diversity. Dilute any semblance of freedom and identity while stripping rights away and subverting logic and reality. A rich person's game. America for Americans, United States for US, Germany for Germans, unless they're socialist leftoids, buncha self-hating hypocrite cowards trying too hard to fit in with the wrong crowds.

It’s because people tolerated this is the only reason why this kind of crap happens is because people tolerate other people that shouldn’t be in their country in the first place because they don’t have the same moral standards.

[@hotchihuahua1546]

There are no answers without addressing the signals and having institutions to help those in need ! The fact this man studied and was a doctor of psychology shows it can happen to anyone ! What a terrible tragedy with so many innocent victims , it is sickening !

[@jester886]

Ban vehicles

[@MessyTen8]

Specifically assault vehicles

[@UnicornMeat512]

Idk. Maybe the moments after a terror attack isn't the best time for a pro 2A gotcha moment. Though I agree with your point, the timing is crap.

[@PhantasyKingpin]

This is some high octane George Orwellian propaganda spin right here my goodness.

[@joeblow3206]

They need better background checks for people to get cars. Or ban cars altogether.
