Reading this and the thread about the holocaust you can easy see how people were manipulated into hating a entire population. People not even caring that a "suspect" is dead. One less to worry about.

Scary.

Im not saying Merkel is right, but if you were one of the refugees living in hell on earth in a war zone, you'll be highly grateful being allowed to move to a safer country. It's a moral dilemma and people will naturally choose the side that best suits their own interests.
Well this guy was living in Tunisia, not particukary nice, but hardly hell on Earth. His own brother has stated that he travelled to Europe for economic purposes to support his family. His time in Europe was, by all accounts, a long list of crime ranging from arson to knife attacks, and now allegedly mass murder.

I see no moral dilemma here. This guy should have been put on the first boat back to Tunisia the second his jail sentence in Italy ended. So he could start his jail sentence for his violent robbery conviction in Tunisia.

Does anyone actually believe that this guy was ever a genuine refugee?

And how many others like him are amongst the 100,000s who entered Europe in the last 12 months? Even the innocent Pakistani guy had a record for minor crimes. My God, as a society have we really fallen so far that minor crimes is just shrugged at like they are nothing?

They thought he was still in Berlin !

News conference due in Rome at any moment on the shooting.

Sky News reporting the main suspect has been shot dead in Milan, Italy.
Yes, he's just been identified by his fingerprints. It's unfortunate, any hope of intelligence gathering has gone with him.

Caring? Start shooting armed police and you're likely to end up dead. I care about what I've said above.
I entirely agree with your first sentence, it's remarkably easy and extremists know it.
Welcome to the future of Europe.

If you are really that interested, there are plenty of videos out there. I didn't say on a typical day. On a day to day basis it's probably business as normal. However, if something is done which upsets them, causes offense etc, both very easily done seemingly, then you get what is portrayed on the video. In that particular case, a woman was taken in for questioning after her husband was arrested for a bomb incident.

Why on earth would I visit a Mosque? I am not the slightest bit religious, and I certainly would show no interest, nor encouragement to a religion with such backward views.

The burka is a part of that, and the culture that goes with it. It is abhorrent.
You might learn otherwise but that obviously requires an open mind.
Integration is a two way process and you're admirably displaying how the overriding need of single minded extremists on both sides is to make sure it never happens.

Couldn't agree more. But apparently Tunisia refused to accept him back because he apparently had no ID documentation. Which is really like saying that if one of us was abroad and lost our passport, we'd be refused entry back to the UK, ad infinitum.

Ridiculous.

A two way process how? Should we all adapt and change our ways of life to fit in with newcomers to these shores? How many mosques have you visited Anne?

Why is it ridiculous? Would we like anyone who chooses to be admitted to the UK without identification?

Italian Interior Minister says there is absolutely no doubt that the dead man is Anis Amri.

Praises the professionalism of the Milan Police.

I'm glad for the people of Berlin and Germany that he is dead. I'm glad that the Italian policeman who was shot by him will make a recovery though sad he will be in hospital for Christmas. I'm glad that's one less terrorist in Europe though I'm sure plenty more have sneaked in.

I don't feel at all guilty to not care that a terrorist is dead. I'm more concerned that there are people more bothered about the terrorist's well being and thus pulling a Godwin in the process.

Such hyperbole,

This person apparently killed a dozen people and maimed and injured others for life. He also shot a police officer when challenged.

And you expect us to show sympathy for him now he is dead. Really?

What about all his victims and their families?

What is perhaps most concerning is how he fled all the way across Germany to France and then made it into Italy without being spotted. Schengen certainly needs looking at.

Good riddance, now let's bury him in an unmarked grave and forget about him. Erase him name from the history books so no one can glorify him - which applies equally to the the white supremacists as it does to the islamists.

My mind is very much open, thank you very much. That is why I have never, and never will be dictated to by a bunch of men, who think women are second class citizens, and treat them as such. So please stop with your sly little digs, and have a look at your own shortcomings.

shame he pulled a gun on cops at a road check and chose to deny himself any legal evaluation of his guilt.

personally i would have preferred an expensive show trial and after conviction, that he'd been used for an extensive & humiliating ad campaign targeted at the apt demographic
instead of his "martyrdom" and glamourisation.

His ISIS handler in Germany won't be shedding any tears - it's one less to worry about!

My sympathies also lay with those innocent and murdered by scum..
War on terror has two sides but in your eyes only one side can be innocent.

100s are dying everyday due to the lies of Tony Blair and co yet nothing done to him. We reap what we sow. Bush and Blair started this war and innocent people are paying the price and will carry on paying the price. But in your eyes as long as no one innocent in your country dies its fine.

It seems he came by train.

To Turin, and then to Milan.

Well they were, the poster who felt people are uncaring about a "suspect" being shot and who compared a terrorist who opened fire on police and got shot with the holocaust.
