I'm not sure why it is so hard for you to understand that my point is, you should wait for the facts before you draw conclusions - or use words like 'most likely', as you did later. Yeah, because there have been plenty, you bump a thread from almost a year and a half ago. What page was this? Page 67? And your expectations about the offender turned out to be wrong - so next time you could at least wait for official reports. "Another one" in combination to use this Muslim terror thread and mention backlash to Merkel is a clear reference to Islamic terror. Don't sneak out here, you could at least admit that you were overhasty and (kind of) corrected yourself later. That's all I'm trying. It doesn't, because I only joined this conversation to show you that you judged too early, not to debate Islamic extremists. You made it a thread about the Münster attacks, that have nothing to do with Muslim terror. If you want to start a conversation about the issues with Islamic terrorism in Europe - go ahead, make a new thread (or pick up an old one). I might join. Come on now: You knew exactly the tone of your first postings on Saturday, everybody here knows you judged the second you read the reports and willingly used the resemblance to former attacks to fulfill your agenda.
Bobby got caught with his hand in the 'blame the Muslims' cookie jar, but it isn't surprising that he won't own up to it. That isn't fun and not that many people own up to it when they make mistakes.
LMAO. Well at least we got something out of this dumbass reaching again—and not owning upto it on top of that.
The fact that it was "most likely" was a given. I didn't think I had to spell that out...then again, I guess I should have considered my audience. Have they? Last I checked they haven't stated the motive yet. Are you drawing conclusions before waiting for official reports? "Another one" was a clear reference to it being another truck attack. Look at my OP, is there any reference to "Islamic terror"? The post was merely about there being another truck attack in Germany....which is what happened. The talk about Islamic terrorism came later when the conversation focused on the other attacks. First off, what "agenda" do you think I have? Secondly, I wouldn't say "everyone here" in an effort to lend credibility to your opinion. There are very few here that have any credibility to lend and most here are childish simpletons. You'd be much better off having your words stand on their own rather than tainting them by suggesting that a group of knuckle dragging r****ds agree with you.

No, you should have considered decency. It was not a given, to you it was crystal clear that it was Islamic terrorism. And since you were proven wrong about it, you could have at least admitted and said something like "Ok, I was wrong this time. Feel sorry for the victims and hope the injured recover. Still think Europe should reconsider their course in dealing with extremists." - But I guess that wouldn't be you. The official motive is that he was delusional and paranoid. If your interested, there's a lot of stuff about him around now (parent issues, aggressive behaviour lately, several minor incidents that are police-known, announcing his suicide in an email to neighbors plus a lot more), but I guess you lost interest in him in the moment you heard he's not a muslim. I repeat: "Another one" in combination with using specifically this thread and immediately blaming Merkel (why would she receive backlash from an incident with a lunatic?) is an obvious reference to Islamic terror. Spreading right wing propaganda like the gun law reference in your first post, while ignoring facts, common sense or decency. Yeah, so most here are childish, unless they share your opinions. Actually it's pretty childish to not be able to admit a mistake (see above), but whatever. The kind of reactions you receive here would make me reflect a little, but that's just me.
Me being right or wrong has nothing to do with the embarrassing temper tantrum that happened in this thread. I never at any point said anything indecent and as far as I know, I haven't been proven wrong about anything...or are you making assumptions before all the facts are out? I have yet to see police determine a motive, so if you have sources for what you are saying, I'd be interested in seeing them. Regardless of motive however, it's pretty clear that the attack was inspired by the previous truck attacks in Europe...which is something I said pretty early on. This being a copycat of previous terrorist attacks doesn't make it any better, in some ways it makes it worse. I repeat. "Another one" in combinations with using specifically this thread about a truck attack in Germany..... Merkel would receive backlash from yet another truck attack because it'e pretty clear why truck attacks were popularized in Europe in the first place. One way or the other, be it a copycat or it being another Islamic terrorist attack, we know when this kind of thing started in Europe and she played a pretty big part in making that happen. You mean pointing out that the anti-civil liberties crowd ignores facts, common sense, and decency when pushing their agenda? That "right wing propaganda"? LOL okay. No, most here are childish unless they aren't childish. There was a time when there were some decent posters here that I disagreed with but over the last few years the left has become increasingly unhinged and that has shown itself here pretty clearly. If there were respectable people here, perhaps I would consider their opinions, but that's simply not the case. I respect well thought out opinions, not rhetoric, fan fiction, or stalker BS. The D&D has been sorely lacking the former for quite some time now.
We could go on and back on forth here for days, but I'm not gonna waste any more of my time. I've made my points clear so this is my final response: You were overhasty and full of prejudice when it would have been appropriate to wait and see. It seems to be your kind of thing to give suggestive messages that you can deny afterwards ("I never said", "I obviously never meant", "It is given", "You are making assumptions"), when everybody understands the subtexts of these messages. The offender was a delusional, paranoid lunatic, so we'll never know 'the one' motive or find out whether he's been inspired by the attacks in Berlin/Nice/Stockholm/Barcelona or thought he was fighting demons or whatever, so making terrorists or Merkel responsible for this attack in an indirect way isn't working out either. All I was asking for was you to wait for facts and confirmed reports, before you draw your conclusions (I know, at this point we're back at "I never said", "I never meant", etc.), but I guess that was asking too much.
what's scary is a large truck is more deadly than even a machine gun, and exponentially easier to obtain and use
The guy in Vegas killed 59 and wounded nearly 500, other gun attacks also had way more victims than the usually below 10 you have with these truck attacks. Let's not turn this into a "let us keep our guns, cars and knives are also deadly" debate.
So is Vegas, club and school shootings etc which mostly have much higher death tolls. Plus's it's ridiculously easy to acquire a gun or assault rifle in your country, so I'm not sure why you think it's exponentially easier to acquire a car. In Europe you're right, but the argument is plain wrong in the US, where all these shootings are happening and outnumber truck attacks exponentially.
