... While uncommon as a weapon, in recent years they have been more frequently used to kill or maim people. Cars became prominent as a terror weapon during a series of incidents in Israel amid ongoing conflict with local militant groups during the early 2010s.
The use of vehicles to ram public spaces was supported by the Islamic State group in the mid-2010s. In Europe, attacks in Nice — where 86 people were killed in a truck attack — Westminster Bridge in London, Barcelona and Berlin have been among the most prominent and devastating incidents.
Cars have also been used in a series of attacks in China.
Many of these attacks carried religious and political motivations and came in the wake of several radical Islamist groups calling for potential attacks using easy-to-access vehicles.
The three recent incidents in Germany have no common ideological thread.

"They're very diverse individuals: some might be Muslim radicals, some might be American right-wing activists, some people have mental health problems. The profile of the perpetrator is very hard to define. The main thing they have in common is the act."

Anyone know what the quote refers to regarding 'American right-wing activists?'
“Shared psychology”?? No. Shared Theocracy, yes. By the time the slow learning “leaders” understand this, it will be too late for the rest of us.
Who are they kidding.
Germany’s terror problem the inevitable result of importing Muslims.
Ric Ocasek is Hitler
Yeah, I remember that MAGA hat wearing guy plowing his SUV through a crowd.
If ONLY there was some common thing in these attacks.
Germans, they do a few things very well, and other things they screw up in ways you didn’t even imagine were possible!
Never forget, this is the people who gave us nazism, marxism, the EU, and Prussian bureaucracy. One bad idea after another.
Right.
Like the slow thinking authorities who hear of a news event “Shouted Alahu Akbar. Carried a Qu’ran. Had been part of a radical Muslim mosque he attended daily. Attacked a church. Had 1,241 emails to a group designated as terrorists by the government. Did 239 online searches of topics of bomb making and past terror incidents. Police say they have no idea of the motive.”
Yeah, it’s called terrorism you simpletons.
That is Deutsche disingenuousness... "deutschingenuousness."
Bingo! Erudite obfuscation hiding behind intellectual bullcrap.
This isn’t one but what if someone could influence others like the two Manchurian Candidate movies (Frank Sinatra and then Denzel Washington)?
Or several brainwashing Criminal Minds and other series episodes?
I think they are referring to the Las Vegas incident.
As to the article I can answer their question in five letters:
Jihad

Well, how about giving the public the name and a short biography of each perpetrator? Then maybe the average Joe can figure it out for himself.
Bauhaus, the Frankfurt School, Nina Hagen...
That took me longer than it should have....
When they are good, they are magnificent. Sausages, clocks, machinery, highways, etc. They should really stay in their swim lane.
Islam
That sounds like you're describing me.
Well, it’s just EASY. Any moron can do it. No training needed, no weapons, just turn your wheel and hit the gas and there you go. Instant fame.
” By the time the slow learning “leaders” understand this, it will be too late for the rest of us.”
They know exactly what’s going on. It’s the old aristocracy bringing in new peasants.
