Mannheim live updates: One person dead after car drives into crowd in German city of Mannheim, police say
A 40-year-old German citizen has been arrested and there is no "political background" connected to the incident, police say.
Interestingly worded title - did the car drive itself into the crowd? No, right? Then why would they word it like that?
Anyway, more evidence to support the fact that cars are far too efficient as weapons to be granted as much free rein as they are today. Bollards save lives, implement them liberally throughout any areas with pedestrians.

Unfortunately and as with everything, the actions of a few cause a reaction that affects so many. The rise of the right has been driven primarily by immigration of people looking for the promise of democratic freedom and opportunity. These incidents are used to prevent this migration entirely.
Is this right? Should people have a right to migrate in hopes of a better life? Some you might identify as far left don't feel boarders should exist at all. Others believe that borders should be sealed and only people who would benefit the society within should enter (sadly based on the colour of their skin as well). The obvious answer is that the best practice probably falls somewhere in the middle.
I have two takes on this. The first is that immigration should be ended as we are entering the end of our societies ability to support existing populations with food and shelter, due to climate change. The second is that regardless of circumstances, never flee your country if you don't like what's going on. Fight to change it, even if you have to die trying. That is what I plan to do.

You're asking other people to sacrifice their own life while you pontificate about "sacrifice" in one of the wealthy nations currently facing down fascism.

What will they do when violence begins in the west? Run away again?

oh look it's a suit and tie fascist, they're so polite about their bigotry! here you go 🍪

I'm not a bigot at all. I'm only questioning how practical mass immigration is in the modern age.
-
so you agree with the fascist part? not surprising

The suspect is a German with no migration background.

I saw that but the article also listed many recent attacks that were the case.
