While the motive is unclear
- both mental health, but one has a violent self help group
This is what populism, scapegoating, and hateful rhetoric have given us.
Ich schäme mich für Deutschland.
- I wonder if this guy felt like he had nothing to live for and nothing to lose so he just took his frustration out on society.
Please let it not be another immigrant.

  Well that doesnt count for much in this matter. The actual question is, was he white/german?
Why “wounded” rather than injured?
Oh, the headline was changed. Good.
Still no lesson learned. F!ck cars.
- so also F!ck knifes?
  
  It's easier to block cars than to do mass screening.
  
  Fucking knifes seems hazardous, but I guess everything is a dildo if you are brave enough.
Wieso passiert das auf einmal so gut wie monatlich.
