Tend to agree. These murderers are so hell bent on martyrdom and taking as many innocents with them I doubt there is a deterrent.

What is the point of these people doing this, they must be mentally ill?
If they are really doing it for isis, then why, it doesn't achieve anything, a solo attack isn't going to wipe out germany... |

Considering that the lorry has a Polish number plate, I assume you are referring to Catholicisim.

Yes true.
Sky seem to be jumping to conclusions suggesting the second person in the truck was also an attacker. Could be the original truck driver for all they know. This is the most reliable to stay on, https://twitter.com/PolizeiBerlin_E?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw At least they won't be making wild assumptions! |

What are you expecting them to do? Close down all of the roads and erect huge barriers around them? Have you been to a big Christmas Market?

This is just one horrible horrible day. For the first time in my adult years, I am actually very fearful for this world of ours.
This latest atrocity breaks my heart, I care not who or why it was carried out, my heart, and deep thoughts are with the families of the loved ones who have been murdered in such a barbaric vile way. |

Im wondering if the passenger in the lorry was already dead by the perpetrator- the lorry driver killed? Taken along from when the lorry was stolen/highjacked to prevent his body being found before this mass murder happened?

Yep ............absolutely dreadful.
The sad and terrible thing is it could happen anywhere at any time - SHOCKING! As someone up there ^^ said - they're not into showing their sympathy etc. on the internet and I agree it's all a bit hollow but - my heart goes out to the families of the dead and injured. It turned out her reluctance was the usual "but what about terrorists?" stuff. Now I have no answer, but gave myself a verbal slap for fussing as there are now many families in an absolutely terrible, devastating situation this Christmas.

I suppose the issue with this location is the police presence would have been minimal if any at all. With Nice they had police there already who were chasing the truck and already shooting at it. Here the truck probably came to a halt and nothing was really there to take him on.

Edit: Sky now suggesting there may be doubt the arrest IS the suspect. Sky seem to be jumping to conclusions suggesting the second person in the truck was also an attacker. Could be the original truck driver for all they know. And interestingly Sky have seemingly run out of things to talk about and cut away to other news. I guess it's understandable. They were in full speculation mode. |

Sky report it as they see it and update as new information comes through, their brand of news is as it breaks, the BBC is a different format. Choose what you prefer, but I like all the information coming in to be shared, they do warn of what is and isn't confirmed. |

Things can be done to deter such attacks; the difficulty is that terrorists simply change their target. As they do not apparently care who they kill (children, elderly, disabled, etc.), then any building or area frequented by people will do.
