You can hear the sound of the AfD getting a collective erection.
- Are they paying these guys or what?
  
  Since the collapse of the coalition and the new election on its way it would be dumb not to.
  There were three major incidents involving immigrants since the collapse and not one could be linked to a terrorist organization.
  It sounds like a complete conspiracy theory but I think this is too much to be coincidence
This is going to be a political shitshow. I feel bad for all the families who are going to have to watch their loved ones deaths be used as propaganda.
Its sad when these tragedies occur some people instead use it to push promote their right-wing beliefs (ie mass deportation). Shows that they don't really care about the victims.
Even worse that this is the second attack. People already hate third worlders enough :(
- I see no reason to protect some of their beliefs. If you are comming from another culture, you have to accept new rules. I was an immigrant and I got strange looks when I spoke loud on public transport, when I smoked a cigarette on the street and when I commented about specific things. I was in another land and was unable to accept their rules fully, that's why I moved back to my country. They were right to give me those looks and made me feel unwelcome, because I was. My actions didn't suite their society, so I realized I don't belong there. If people started acting like me it would be a degradation for their national identity. The same way I see many immigrants in Germany. They should change their way of living or go back. If their native country is in war, then they should move to another country that shares their values. The world is huge.
I know I'll sound as nutty as a Q Anon idiot, but it seems like a false flag attack. Or something close to it
- Even if you are right, the actions were still done by individuals that should take full consequences. I doubt the opposite side would be able to (even if they wanted) convince a non islamic person to do something like that.
  
  In serbia there were several instances of people driving into anti vucic demonstrations.
  The complainants claim that Vučić previously encouraged motorists to drive through crowds of protesting students.

  It seems you just need an authority figur and willing followers.
