This is Terrorism
of course,
Germany takes its time to say why?

This is among the last things I should be thinking about, but his dyed hair makes me wonder if he's coming back to Doctor Who - he usually has it as its natural grey these days...

Is it time for new car laws? I can't believe countries still have these deadly weapons. Ban cars.

It's really quite ridiculous to compare cars with guns. Cars are an essential part of life for millions of people. A car is practical, useful. What use does an AR-15 have other than to kill lots of people in seconds?

Protect people from criminals who wish to do them harm.

Protect citizens from tyrants who want to enslave them.

There's a 'fair' argument to have about guns, and an American's right to bare them. But comparing cars and guns is just stupid. Makes the pro gun argument even weaker.

and europeans are worried about american gun laws. sort your own bigger problem out first hunnies.

I'm not comparing. I'm sarcastically mocking the people that scream "Ban guns" everytime the news decides to show a shooting.

29-year-old German-Armenian man
was the Terrorist Driver.

A car was driven into a crowd of people, including school pupils, on a busy Berlin street on Wednesday, killing one person and injuring several others, before crashing through a store. People said they heard screams, and a large bang.

The driver, a 29-year-old German-Armenian man living in Berlin, was detained by police following the crash on Wednesday morning shortly before 10.30am.

According to reports, the silver Renault Clio first rammed into a crowd at the corner of Tauentzienstraße and Rankestraße, before returning to the road and then slamming into the window of a Douglas perfume and make-up store on Marburger Straße, about 150 metres away.

A group of school students on a class trip from Hesse were hit, and their teacher died. Several people from the group were injured, some with life-threatening injuries.

Police haven’t said whether the crash was intentional. On Thursday they said their investigations were continuing.

Berlin interior minister Iris Spranger said that “according to latest information” the attack seemed to have been “committed by someone suffering from psychological problems”.

People gathered in the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church (Gedächtniskirche) on Wednesday evening to pay tribute to the victims of the crash.

Witnesses described how the car mounted the pavement.

A 58-year-old man from the Philippines said he was walking on Kurfürstendamm on his way to work when he was almost caught by the car after it veered off the road and into pedestrians.

He told The Local how he saw the car drive into a crowd of people, and heard shouts and screams as people were knocked out of the way.

“Thank God I was walking on the side of the pavement and not in the middle,” he said.

“Otherwise I could be in hospital now. Of course I feel very sad and I’m in shock.”

29?! Jesus, what's in the water over there?
