If "conclusion jumping" were ever to become an Olympic sport there would be a few potential gold medal winners on here.

[naomi24]

bhg481, what do you mean?

[bhg481]

There are people on here who know what the cause was even before all the evidence has been published.

[naomi24]

You've lost me. As far as I can see most people are following the reports.

[bhg481]

Well, as an example, early on the co-driver was declared a terrorist by some on here. Now it looks more likely that he was an innocent Polish lorry driver who was killed when his lorry was hijacked.

[naomi24]

Oh right. I see what you mean now. Thanks.

[Kromovaracun]

Yep, looks very much like an IS attack. I'm not sure if it was before or after Nice but they have been urging their "fighters" to use trucks.

The attacker's refugee status also makes this look somewhat preventable.

What an awful tragedy. Thoughts are with the families.

[youngmafbog]

Lets not detract from the real issue though.

The driver was an immigrant, let in by Angie, who it appears is a member of that well know religion we are not allowed to discus. In case we are ray-sist.

Enough really is enough. Time to start getting tough, if we can find a politician with a spine that is.

[naomi24]

Krom, it was before Nice. That's what encouraged that atrocity.

[naomi24]

Krom, //The attacker's refugee status also makes this look somewhat preventable. //

Especially since according to the BBC report he is already known to police for committing minor crimes. One has to question why the west tolerates migrants who commit crimes rather than immediately return them to their homelands.

[dave50]

Yes another peace loving muslim refugee simply looking for a better life.

[naomi24]

Dave, as an asylum seeker one must presume that this one has fled his homeland in fear of his life. What a sick joke it all is!

What the world's leaders tweeted

Boris Johnson, Foreign Secretary, tweeted: 'My thoughts & condolences are w/ the people of #Germany following tonight's terrible tragedy in Berlin, leaving so many dead & injured.'

President Francois Hollande said the French people 'share in the mourning of the Germans in the face of this tragedy that has hit all of Europe'.

Germany's justice minister has said that federal prosecutors are taking over the investigation.

Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere said that he's in constant touch with security authorities.

And this from the President elect, Donald Trump

'These terrorists and their regional and worldwide networks must be eradicated from the face of the earth, a mission we will carry out with all freedom-loving partners.'

However, President Barack Obama has yet to comment on the incident as he is currently enjoying his annual Christmas vacation in Hawaii.

I'd back Trump every time for plain positive speaking.

Thats odd since it appeared someone followed him and point out to plod.

Expect to see releases that the person was a white German coming out soon. Cologne media suppression all over again.

[Muntin]

A security expert said on Radio4 this morning that local authorities were pedestrianising areas in towns and installing lorry proof bollards. Where this is not practicable maybe local authority vehicles could be parked as temporary barricades?

[whiskeryron]

Because ''Normal '' people do not go around committing atrocities, can we at long last assume that the perpetrators of these crimes are by definition ''Lunatics'' . This being the case should we now have more treatment centres where followers of the Islamic creed can have their brains treated ?

[Khandro]

'This month, the police union in the German state of Thuringia issued an open letter to the state's Interior Minister, describing the crumbling law-and-order situation amid the rising migrant crime: "[You] are abandoning us completely helpless to a superior force... But what changes? Nothing. One instead gets a sense of uninterest."

Meanwhile, representatives of Arab community were reported telling the police in Ruhr, "The police will not win a war with us because we are too many."

Chancellor Merkel, Germany's ruling elites and the media can continue putting a happy face on uncontrolled mass-migration from Arab and Muslim lands, or suppress news reporting on rising migrant crime, but they cannot wish away the country's deteriorating law and order situation.

It should be evident to even a casual observer that her government still does not care about the victims of its own failed "refugee" policy.'
