Berlin police are apparently reporting at least 1 death and multiple injuries. Seems to have been deliberate.

An off duty Turkish police officer has shot dead the Russian Ambassador to Turkey. That is an act of terrorism and been reported as such.

Yes, I know. I'm not sure how that relates to my post that you quoted though.

I don't consider posting on a forum as showing sympathy, so it's unlikely you will see it from me in here.
It's ok, you don't have to explain yourself on here. Just questioning the morality of others outside of the actual topic is good enough I guess.. we all do our part in different ways.

BBC is always so delayed and behind compared to other news outlets

It's like the Southern Rail of TV Networks
Anyone can read out unsubstantiated rumours from Twitter. It's the job of the BBC to get the facts. Sometimes that takes a little extra time.

What, the 'Homegrown or part of Merkel's refugee invitation program'.

Yes, you definitely play a part.

Exactly. And because of the way the BBC is funded they don't have to run with clickbait.

CNN are now reporting at least 9 deaths confirmed by the Berlin police and at least 50 injured. Driver of the vehicle is apparently on the run.

Much worse now sadly.......nine dead and many injured.

Sounds like a copycat attack to that horrific one in Nice this summer.

Typical DS drooling for it to be a Muslim terrorist attack so it can fuel their prejducies and allow for more Islam bashing.

Emma Rushton British tourist: Sky News

We were 8 feet away. there,s no doubt it was deliberate. Truck was driving through market at 40 miles an hour.

We heard a bang and saw xmas lights being pulled down, everything went dark.

We were very lucky we went into some booths upstairs, people were screaming, yelling, stalls were crushed.

It wasn't an accident, it was going in the middle of the market & showed no signs of slowing down.

Police said 9 have died.

Yes, you definitely play a part.
Or you play a part in not accepting that Europe is suffering death from Muslim terrorists?

I will be genuinely shocked if this atrocity was not committed by some deranged islamist.

Whatever.

It's a serious matter and understandably people will wish to post about it whoever was responsible - and we don't yet know do we!

Not quite sure how you've reach that conclusion, but never mind.

Just reading the truck had a Polish number plate. I see Schengen is working as well as ever.
