Reports from the scene are reminiscent of Nice.;

Terrorism is horrible and frightening to be sure - Burt the cat

but just to put things in perspective - every year in this country between 3,000 to 5,000 people die in this country due to preventable industrial accidents (think corporate greed and safety violations) yet they never produce the uproar that these terrorist attacks do and statistically you have a greater chance of being shot by a toddler with a gun than you do being the victim of a terrorist. This in NO WAY condones terrorism so please don't lay that one on me.

Key word, accident. Terrorism is purposeful, - meant to cause terror.

I can't even imagine how one can make such a connection.

to be a senior member of the Taliban, police have discovered.

I'm sure it has happened here in the USA.

Thanks Obama!

The police now question his involvement. That would mean...sm - VTMT

the person responsible is still at large and dangerous. Too bad they focused on this man and assumed too quickly it was he.

How can they not focus on this man? - Holy cow!

Most Muslims are not terrorists, but most terrorists are Muslim.

There are far more Christian terrorists than Muslim. - nm

On Monday, a man in a truck mowed into a crowd - in a Berlin Christmas market,

[ In Reply To ..]
killing 12 and injuring 48 others. The attack joins the already long list of Islamist terrorist attacks on Europe, a list that includes the Charlie Hebdo slaughter (12 deaths), the November 2015 Paris attacks (130 deaths), the Brussels bombings (32 deaths), the Cologne sexual assaults (1,200 victims), Nice massacre (84 deaths), the Würzburg ax assault (5 injured), the Reutlingen attack (1 killed, 2 injured), the Munich shooting (9 deaths), and the Ansbach festival suicide attack (15 injured). But what happened in Berlin is likely to impact Germans more profoundly than these.

In the 70s, there were airplane hijacking. Later suicide bombings, and of 9/11.

These are not Christians doing the killing. They are Christians being killed.

Wrong president to thank. - "Thanks, Dubya!"

There's an old fable that address this very thing...of course it's not politically correct today.

Pakistani driver, crashing into a Christmas market - was there any doubt it is terrorist attack

[ In Reply To ..]
Don't think there was ever any doubt by rational people that it was a terrorist attack....

Nice sidetrack but purposeful destruction of life - is inexcusable and unjustifiable.

[ In Reply To ..]
The terrorists hate us so much they would do anything to eliminate us and our culture and "preventable" industrial accidents are ACCIDENTS. Big difference in intention no matter the odds against being killed in a terror attack - for now.

Being shot by a toddler with a gun is a ludicrous premise to sidetrack terrorist actions in this story. Where do you get your toddler gun shooting stats?

To put things in perspective terrorism is INCREASING - whether it strikes home or another country

[ In Reply To ..]
There should be an UPROAR.

The statistics stated mean absolutely nothiing. I should worry about a toddler with a gun shooting me or being in an industrial accident rather than growing terrorism attacks? Nonsense!

In the US, more people are killed by toddlers - with guns than terrorists.

[ In Reply To ..]
Unless you're calling toddlers terrorists. Then you would be correct.

According to the German press, the Polish driver found inside - the truck was shot dead by the Islamic

[ In Reply To ..]
Pakistani hijacker. The Polish driver was a Catholic speeding home from Italy to his beloved wife and children for Christmas when he was hijacked.

Islam has managed to piss of both the Russians (murdered Ambassador) and the Polish and Germans today. This won't bode well for them.

Good lord, he had to kill someone to hijack their truck too? - smh

[ In Reply To ..]
Didn't hear that part. Why didn't he just steal a damn truck.

I guess if you are a terrorist you don't really care how many people you are killing for your cause.

Killing is the goal. Why should truck driver be - the exception to this evil person's agenda

[ In Reply To ..]
What a horrific ugly world we live in that terrorist's only goal is to destroy our culture by any means possible.

Why is that surprising? If he can run over a - crowd of people, of course he would -

[ In Reply To ..]
have no problem killing the driver to get the truck. He obviously wanted a LOADED truck (heavier). He was more likely to find one with a driver in it than just parked at a lot somewhere.

Everybody is even more on edge now since the terrorist - got away. The original suspect

caught last night is apparently not the guy.

Florida truck driver James Matthew Bradley isn't the mastermind of the human smuggling ring that led to the grisly deaths of 10 illegal immigrants in his rig, which authorities found at a San Antonio Walmart over the weekend. He's just a cog in the machine. Bradley may now face the death penalty for transporting up to 100 people crammed in the trailer of his 18-wheeler. But what about the open-borders overlords making a real killing off this insatiable racket? I'm looking ...

That was the highest level since the series started in December 2000 and pushed the jobs openings rate up two-tenths of a percentage point to a near one-year high of 4.0 percent.
