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.

Fuck that’s horrible. So many recent attacks in Germany.. It’s terrible to see those headlines

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago

I refuse to believe that those are all just isolated incidents. Someone is pulling some strings here.

[-] Lhianna@feddit.org 21 points 2 months ago

Or, and hear me out here, the current political climate scares people and those with psychological issues can be pushed over the edge more easily. This man has been known for issues like that according to Zeit online.

[-] Daelsky@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 months ago

It could be a more centralized group in Germany since it's always the same kind of attacks. Horrible.

[-] blackris@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 months ago

A group of what? There are people that heard about the attacks and are immitating them. Cars are easy to obtain weapons, sadly.

How would you word the title though? I think the title needs to be very neutral at first, especially when they don't have many details to tell whether it was an accident, and attack, if it was driven by a man, a woman, in auto mode, etc. I'm pretty sure they will report it as an attack if the police confirms it was.

[-] GissaMittJobb@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 months ago

'Driver hits pedestrians with car' is neutral enough.

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.

[-] StoneyPicton@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

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

[-] amino 5 points 2 months ago

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

[-] StoneyPicton@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

I'm not a bigot at all. I'm only questioning how practical mass immigration is in the modern age.

[-] amino 4 points 2 months ago

so you agree with the fascist part? not surprising

[-] shaserlark@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

The suspect is a German with no migration background.

[-] StoneyPicton@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

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

[-] shaserlark@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

Yeah fuck off

How do you feel about child quotas? Japan's pretty strict on their immigration law and seems to be crashing anyway.

[-] StoneyPicton@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

I'm against child quotas but for education on what exactly population growth and shrinkage entails. Let people understand what the implications and solutions are for the various scenarios of the future. Ultimately I see a profound lack of hope for our futures is leading young people to not want to bring a child into the world older generations have built. I am with them 100%. A solution I have introduced in previous discussions is a suicide pill that any elderly that can no longer be supported by society could take to avoid and painful and lonely death. That has not gone over well, lol.

After driving into pedestrians, prosecutors says the suspect shot himself in the mouth but survived, and he is in a stable condition in hospital

Und deshalb liebe Kinder schießt man sich nicht in den Mund. Hoffe der Mongo ist jetzt wenigstens vom Hals an gelähmt....

Ich korrigiere, das Handelsblatt schreibt was von "mit einer Schreckschusspistole"... fuck wie dumm, Schläfe hätte auch damit klappen können...
