An essential part of cultural enrichment is my guess.

The suspected attacker is a 33-year-old asylum seeker.

Another lone wolf attack, and still no pattern to work from.
I'm clueless on what could be happening across Europe.

That line has worn itself out. Just say a crazed religious freak was trying to kill people. Be honest.

Wikipedia lists 32 terrorist attacks in France during the 21st century, of which this one is not yet in the count. Score: Islam 28, Rest Of The World 4. I'm going to go out on a limb here...

““police have since confirmed the man to be a 33-year-old from Afghanistan, who is currently seeking asylum.”

The asylum will be granted because they will be afraid of being called Racist and/or islamaphonbic.

I heard about it on the radio. The anouncer went out of his way to say it was definitely NOT terrorism. Unbelievable.

The motive was unknown...

He thought the person was a nice juicy steak...😀

Prayers to the victims...and I bet the mass stabber is someone who said (in French) Ally Akbar

#11. re “Darn Hare Krishnas”. Could make a movie out of it with a title such as “When Hares Attack”, starting Bugs Bunny on Meth waving a 2 foot long carrot and yelling, “Bring me the head of Elmer Fudd”.

Honestly I’d rather be shot dead then killed by a knife. France is wacky.
