Die Welt has made a correction and now believes that the man arrested was not of Chechen origin but is Pakistani.

The Islamic Twelve Days of Christmas
by Kenny Dale Whortley (Twitter: @KDWhortley)

On the 3rd day of Christmas, Islam gave to me,
#BerlinChristmas market carnage,
a mass #zurich shooting,
And an #assassination in Tur-key.

Airing sob story about the Muslims in Syria.

Yes - the POOR Syrian Muslims are being denied the opportunity to drive trucks into crowds of screamimg Western women, children & babies in Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Britain, France and Germany.

And Belgium, Spain and the Netherlands.

But we are told to be ashamed ourselves for rejecting children from Syria. A gun or a bomb in the hands of a “child” is no less dangerous that an adult.

There are four news stories about the terrorist truck in Germany on the Drudge web site. None of the four news storied on Drudge are linked to American newspapers.

Last month I visited the Christmas town in London at it is cheerful, colorful and heartwarming. Tragic that terrorists would look at a Christmas town as a chance to kill innocents.

Terrible. Death toll increased to twelve victims. :-(

I don’t dislike the German people. I lived there for years. I am simply shocked at how far their politics changed to the point that the most orderly folks I have been around have imported tens of thousands of people who don’t like them and have no interest in assimilating.

It makes me sad.

In some ways a confused 12-13-14-15-16 y.o. male would be the most formidable terrorist weapon.
They are crazed, easily lured by girls, and eager to prove they are "macho" to others. Dangerous combo.

But of course, we don’t know if the driver was Muslim. In a sane world, one checks that first.

Two weird things about the article:

Police told Germans to refrain from speculation (about Muslims).
The WH extended its condolences not just to the victims but also the government of Germany.

Elitist government around the world do not want citizens to attack or cajole or fight back against Muslims who would do us harm. They want their pension programs funded despite declining birth rates in the West.

You know, you really don’t want to make the land of my fathers mad (and that includes Russia). They tend to handle things directly

Too bad Merkel wasn’t there.

She might as well have been driving the truck.

The word “unfall” (accident) was used several times by state-run TV (ARD).

The commercial networks all used the word “terrorism” (probably once every two minutes).

The driver was captured...came in the last of the big wave (Feb 2016) into Germany....said to be a Pakistani. Press hints that he has used at least two different names, so you don’t really know who the heck he is in reality. Truck is reported to have Polish plates on it. Owner of the Polish truck said his cousin (Polish guy) was supposed to be driving it yesterday and that the guy’s wife had contact with him at 4PM. My guess is that the Pole driver is probably missing and will be found dead.

My humble guess is that the Christmas Market will shut down completely. No one will want to go back and open up any of the stands. Safety is not guaranteed. If you look across all the Christmas markets in Germany...I would imagine that cities will erect more barricades today and put more cops around them. You probably will see one-third less people around them for the rest of the week.

Sad, but a sign of the times unfortunately. Some of my fondest memories of Germany are the Christmas markets in Nurenburg and Bamberg.

Is this latest attack going to help AfD's influence in next year's election?
