An unknown man drove a van into a group of people sitting outside a popular restaurant in the old city center of Muenster in western Germany on Saturday, killing at least two of them before shooting himself dead.
According to the AP: “A leading German newspaper is reporting that authorities believe there is no terrorist motive behind the deadly van crash in Muenster and the driver is believed to be a middle-aged German man who had psychological issues.”
Via Reuters – […] The vehicle ploughed into people sitting at tables outside the Grosser Kiepenkerl restaurant, which is popular with tourists.
“At 15:27 (1327 GMT), a vehicle drove into the outside area of the restaurant … three people were killed, 20 injured, and six of those seriously injured,” a police spokesman said, adding: “The perpetrator killed himself in the vehicle.”
It was not immediately clear whether the perpetrator was among the three killed, or whether his death took the number of dead to four. A police spokeswoman said separately that there were at least three people dead. (read more)
Horrible.
But not surprising, as the Germans simply refuse to outlaw and confiscate personal vehicles.

Oh, thanks to the Greens, they are. They’re starting with Diesels, first… (I’m only half-kidding there, the Greens are trying to put us back to the 6th century technologically).
The media here is, as usual, saying it’s a psychologically-disturbed German. But those with dual nationalities, and the Burka-brigade barbarian anchor babies (yep, we have them too) are also termed German by our YSM, even though we all know better…
Eventually the truth will leak out. We never had killings-by-vehicle before Merkel’s Coudenhove-Kalergi “Kulturelle Bereicherung” (cultural enrichment) began.
Cultures like that belong in a Petri dish, or removed altogether.
There’s already enormous pressure on Merkel from the Bavarian sister party (CSU) to hers (CDU). There are elections coming up in Bayern, and it could be a big win for our Deplorables, the AfD, or a further move to the right (i.e. back where they used to be) for the CSU.
Something not reported is that there was to be a Kurdish demonstration in Münster today.
The Turks are busy trying to wipe the Kurds off the map, so there were probably a lot of radical types around, and Antifa too…

That story seems to have disappeared from the media, how surprising… not!
About 12 years ago I returned to this country after a long time (30+ years) overseas. I was horrified to discover that “news” stories on my TV only appeared on some channels, and many didn’t appear at all. I mentioned one story to my cousin but said that I couldn’t remember which news program I’d seen it on- and without hesitation he said, “That was on Fox News.”
Oh, come on, I replied; how do you know that, it was a major story so it could’ve been on any channel. “No, the others have an agenda; the only one that sometimes tells the truth is Fox. That story wouldn’t have been on any other network.” I was aghast.
Not long after that, I cut the cable. All these so-called “news” outlets lie, even (sadly) Fox. Though at least Fox makes some attempt to live up to their motto, “Fair and Balanced.”
So since I don’t know what the truth actually is, I’ll remain convinced that there is a reason this story was dropped so quickly: there’s a muslim in the woodpile! And we’re not supposed to know.

It is important to point out at this point that IF the person who did this atrocity IS REALLY a 48-year-old German citizen named “Jens”:
UNLESS there is a clear, documented list of mental issues diagnoses, record of doctors’ visits and prescriptions, times in therapy, etc. for this person—AND autopsy to determine whether “Jens” had high amounts of drugs and/or alcohol in his system at the time of the atrocity:
THEN the German authorities MUST consider the possibility that “Jens” was RADICALIZED by the Koran to perform JIHAD on the Kuffar and then proceed to “martyr himself” to gain his “reward” from Allah.
The Koran and the Hadith COMMAND that Jihad MUST be performed on the Kuffar by the faithful in any way that is possible. This command would include Jihad performed by Muslim converts OR by anyone who swears allegiance to Islam by reciting the Shahadah. These persons would then immediately be considered as Muslims and therefore under the laws of the Koran and the Hadith.

This reeks of misdirection and “false flag”. The fact that the police were there almost instantly is because there was a planned demonstration by the Kurds, who always end up being confronted by the Turks and Antifa whenever they do a demo.
In the German media, there is no real info (as usual); the alternative media (in particular the comments, often from people nearby and/or “in the know”) tell a rather different story.
Consider that in Germany, gun ownership, though not impossible, is VERY difficult.
Until 2015 or so, vehicles crashing into street cafes was unknown.
Folks who are suicidal are referred to the “Psychiatrie” to prevent them from “going postal”.
The only group for whom motorized (or jet-powered) vehicles are a weapon of choice are the Moslems… (cf almost daily attacks in Israel).

The guy was 49 and a local, well known to the police who was a petty thief with psychological problems. At least that is what Die Welt and the FAZ are saying. Needless to say the German press are using this to bash those politicians who initially assumed it was a terrorist attack a la Nice.
It doesn’t detract from the fact you should always be wary nowadays. I am sat in a hotel not 50 metres away from Königsallee where a group of Syrians were foiled by the German authorities in 2016 when they planned to attack it with automatic weapons and handgrenades.
Welcome to 21st century Germany.

Welt and FAZ lean left, sad to say, as do most of the German media. n-tv, mentioned by someone above, is more conservative.
But Merkel and her admin have a stranglehold on the media here; just consider it “media matters” being run by the government itself…
Schein oder sein… psychological problems is a big, big, bucket of excuses for governmental incompetence. And Mutti is only the last of a long line of scammers…

NOT ” The murderer drove his vehicle into a crowded restaurant, taking three innocent lives…”
Pathetic.

This is how Most headlines of tragedies are writtn, nowadays. Focus away from the actual event, and focus on the dramztic, emotional aspects. Start looking for this, and start pondering why this is the case.

That’s Germany’s problem. For however long as it takes them to figure it out. Honestly, when in the last 100 years hasn’t Germany been a problem to the world? Bad judgement, bad decisions, worldwide repercussions, deathly, egotistical, maniacal, etc. etc..
Our problem is making sure their illegal aliens and refugees don’t make it here.

Looking at Google street view, I see all kinds of those post things (bollards, I think they’re called) that are supposed to keep cars from getting through. Obviously not as effective as they thought.
