Happened an hour ago so news are still trying to catch up.
Someone intentionally drove a car through people at a Christmas market in Magdeburg in Germany. Last I've read emergency services reported 1 dead and up to 80 people injured. They've caught the terrorist (unfortunately alive). He's allegedly a Syrian migrant but no official confirmation yet.
Edit: Latest news say at least 11 dead. Terrorist is supposedly from Saudi-Arabia. He rented the car shortly before the attack and drove 400m through the market.
Edit 2: The attacker targeted the children's fairy tale area of the market according to witnesses. He's allegedly 50 years old, worked at a local hospital and came to Germany in 2006. Police are currently raiding his home.
A couple of days ago police and state media ran a puff piece in which cops searched Christmas market visitors to enforce "no weapon zones". Of course they focused on old White people. They even found a pocket knife on some German granny. Mission accomplished!
unironically, they actually already have this. all cars are internet connected, at least in Europe and the US, and have full GPS tracking. if your car has OnStar, then the government can indeed remotely shut down your car.

"Miigrant"
Is he flying back south for the winter?
The word migration doesn't necessarily imply impermanence.
That can and should be fixed.
I'm talking about nature.
European media and police will doubtless be focussing on tracking anyone who highlights this was completely avoidable…
Car refuting all gun control arguments.
Don't worry, that is why we need the constant surveillance and remote lockdown on cars is what they will say....

If a Sikh had walked by, openly carrying his "ceremonial" dagger, would they have stopped him?

Another reason to keepn the old veterans running, haha
I can't believe a car did this again. Someone stop these cars.
We're they foreign cars? Maybe we should close the borders to stop all these foreign cars from coming to Germany and killing innocent people.
It was a native BMW.
I bet it had a fully automatic transmission. We need to do something about those assault cars.
Ah, that's why. Brakes aren't standard on BMWs, alongside turn signals.
Seriously though, perhaps this does raise some questions about erm, car hire, given that he allegedly hired the “weapon” only a short time beforehand…
Though I’m not entirely sure if “background checks for car hire” is the best idea either…
Now they said he's a Saudi doctor. Who the fuck knows.
For once one of them actually turned out to be a doctor or engineer ... aaaand he's still a terrorist.
We just need to educate harder!
I'm sure they invite them over either to become doctors or to practice as one. Better than training a white man.
Pfft, it's probably from a doctorate mill.
