Several people are dead after a vehicle collided with group of pedestrians in Munster, Germany.

German police have confirmed at least three people are dead and dozens injured around the Kiepenkerl statue in Munster's old town.

Citizens have been advised to avoid the area.

According to local media, a small truck drove into a seated group of people at a restaurant and there are unconfirmed reports that the driver might among the dead.

Several news agencies are quoting Munster police as saying "the driver has killed himself".

According to the Spiegel, German authorities are "assuming" the incident was an attack.

Rescue helicopters have been sent to the surrounding area, with the injured being taken to hospitals or cared for in a designated zone.
Germany's RP has quoted police saying they are "mourning for the victims and the injured".

"Fortunately so far we were always able to prevent attacks in advance, this time that hasn't happened," they are quoted saying.

Munster Police tweeted an appeal not to spread "rumours and misinformation".

It's thoroughly depressing how ordinary these sort of stories have started to feel

bitontheslide 07-04-2018 05:45 PM

you would have thought by now that terrorists would have realised that running innocent people down doesn't achieve anything

It achieves dead kaffir, which is their aim.

Authorities have said there is no indication it is an Islamist attack.

The suspect's motive and exact identity still remains unclear, but German media reported he was a national with mental health problems.

Shame, that two quid could have gone to good use

Not a bad place to put your 2 quid in a country that let in a million ‘refugees’ some of which decided to go out on New Years Eve and sexually assault female party goers,Stab people on trains and killed twelve people at a Christmas Market.
The religion of peace would be a good bet even if not a winner this time.

It would indeed!

Interesting. Even when the terrorist is not Muslim, the entire religion is still a more relevant topic than the indivduals involved.

It is no secret that I like a flutter on the 'gee-gees' now and then, and despite using a degree of what can only be described as 'intuition' when making my selections, like most punters, I do invariably rely on 'Form' to guide me.

It now seems as if this killer was a German with 'Far-right' interests, a criminal record for 'petty crimes', and a history of 'Mental Illness'. Munster police reportedly found a Kalashnikov rifle at the killer's home and other dodgy equipment.

However - and again this is pure speculation on my part - I believe that indirectly Merkel's 'Open Door' Immigration policies may STILL lie behind the attack.

There was a 'Demonstration' carried out by Kurdish Immigrants near the scene of the attack and the attack itself occurred on the anniversary of a similar attack in Stockholm where five people were killed and 14 injured after a stolen beer truck drove into a crowd last year.

Coming back to my '2 quid' bet, I may have lost my money this time but I blame the 'Form Book':

All those innocent deaths, people who would be alive today if Europe had not taken in so many undocumented migrants. How many more innocent deaths will there be before people realise it is too high a price to pay.

Those that died were all everyday people who had little or no say - not those that actually made the decisions. Well it is up to those ordinary everyday citizens to say no more - enough is enough!

This is the latest attack of choice for your Islamist terrorist. We've heard countless stories now of terrorists driving cars into crowds. So it's not a stretch of the imagination when you hear of an identical attack to immediately assume an Islamist is behind it. It's not a crime to leap immediately for the obvious. It doesn't make you anti-Muslim, or racist, or anything. And it really pisses me off when someone comes on the call everyone out on being racists when it is not the case.
