Almost as if they are under instruction to provoke a continental reaction now they have all their foot soldiers in place?

[MJJJones]

So.... no description of the attacker? Let me guess.

[stevenwarne]

police have confirmed the knife has mental health issues

Everybody in the comments is looking at five year prison sentences you are not allowed to be angered at this saddening and disgusting act which is compiled on top of the list of disgusting acts inflicted onto innocent individuals.

No guessing where he came from or what religion he is. The total lack of a description says it all.

[baggie_woodman]

How can the attacker stab through a huge gathering of people and there be no description?! Shut up.

We no longer believe you and know what's going on.

Ahhh the engineers and doctors strike again…

Are you ready for a supreme cosmic irony folks? What was the festival you ask?

It was a festival celebrating diversity.

Did he/they/it/her suffer from mental illness by any chance? Obviously it’s not terror related, it’s far too early to say that, it normally takes 12months to assume that, despite only taking 5minutes to say with great certainty it is not…………

Happening all over Europe is there any surprise this is ongoing.

[sneakyrodent]

If only there was some sort of unifying factor that the media could shine a light on to raise awareness of these terrible and escalating crimes.

Let throwbacks from the middle ages bring their eastern religion and philosophy into the modern day west and this is what you get .

Can you imagine the outcry if a German killed and maimed some muslims. Why do we all put up with these crimes which are happening far too often. Sincere condolences to all who knew the victims RIP❤

I am someone who just wants people to be able to live freely and in peace in our country. That was also the reason why I joined the German army 30 years ago, because I wanted to protect our country, our freedom and our democracy in an emergency. Now 30 years later I feel like a fool because the country that I once wanted to protect in an emergency is now letting everyone into the country uncontrolled. And the people who had committed serious crimes such as murder were not even deported

As the left continually tells us, 'diversity is our strength'.

[cupraJock.]

I still remember the hundreds if not into the thousands of women graped nearly 10 years ago in Germany on new years eve by... our cultural brothers. RIP to the lives lost today 🙏

Hows about Portugal introducing vaccine passports ?? Its a slow creep people best wake up to whats being done here..

[midnightmosesuk]

No one is saying anything about the identity of the murderer yet. Let's just wait and see if our suspicions are correct.

[clivebaxter]

where's the description of the murderer?
