New York Times ^ | December 19, 2016 | Liam Stack

A truck driver barreled into a crowded Christmas market in Berlin on Monday night, killing at least 12 people and injuring scores more. The police believed it to be an attack, but the identity of any attackers and their motives were not immediately clear.

How you know it was a Muslim. This is written in the report:

“...but the identity of any attackers and their motives were not immediately clear.”

Voter support for Merkel slumped 12 percentage points to 47 percent in July, the second-lowest of her third term that started in 2013, according to an Infratest dimap poll this week for ARD public television. Two-thirds said they oppose the chancellor's handling of the refugee crisis.

I'd love to know what it stands at now.

The German people look at Merkel and say,”You brought this upon us.”

It is time for her to go. Resign Merkel. You have betrayed the German people and all of Europe. Be gone.

A good first step for Chancellor Merkel would be to resign.

Good first few steps for the German People would be to jail her pending trial for treason, and then get to work rounding up her army of Muslim rapists and murderers, while securing the borders of their once-safe homeland.

I would say ALL THE ATTACKS have been linked to Muslim jihadists! Has there been any other group involved?

Probably should remove herself from the country, and then resign, because the steps by the German people may be to forego any trial, and go right to the sentencing phase. Deservedly so I might add.

The Amish are known for their truck driving skills.

Yeah, right. The news is that the police are suppressing information, but it somehow leaked out that that the driver of the truck was Polish.

What they don't say is that the Polish driver of the truck was hijacked and murdered by a Muslim refugee who recently entered Germany from either Pakistan or Afghanistan. One of Merkel's chosen Muslims.

What about the truck attack in Nice, France last July ? 80+ dead IIRC.

Reports say Polish driver was murdered in cab, hijacker/attacker was Pakistani refugee admitted to Germany in February 2016. ISIS claiming credit.

With all due respect, the sarcastic Amish jokes long ago became pointlessly trite. We need to find and use better rhetorical weapons to help reverse the massive betrayal done to European and American populations by the elites.
