Two people have died and others are in life-threatening condition after a car was driven at “high speed” through a crowd in the city of Leipzig.

Emergency services declared a mass casualty incident in the eastern German city of Leipzig on Monday afternoon after a car was driven “at high speed” through a pedestrianised city-centre area. Two people are confirmed dead and several more, likely dozens, are injured, two of them critically, after being struck by the driver’s vehicle.

A suspect, said to be the driver, has been arrested. German daily newspaper Die Welt reports a police source stating the suspect is showing signs of mental illness, and that the mayor of Leipzig stated of the incident: “We don’t yet know the exact motive; we don’t know anything about the perpetrator”.

The more American military is removed from Europe the more room they will have for new Islamic citizens.

“We don’t yet know the exact motive; we don’t know anything about the perpetrator”.

If the cops can’t figure it out, I bet everyone else can.

They can take over the gigantic American military complex in south west Germany

They don’t need us any more. They are effecting an invasion

We need to look at what’s happening in our own country like the similar invasion in Texas- Houston and Dallas, an Virginia, Michigan and Minnesota

They already occupy many of the old US military family housing areas where officers and enlisted personnel lived with their families. There were some huge housing areas in Germany. I suspect many were used for muzzies from the Middle East as we drew down our forces. These are three and four storied buildings with apartments. Thousands available for Allie Auck Bar and his crew to live on the government Mark.

It sounds like “Sudden Jihadi Syndrome.”

Deutsche Welle uses this noncommital language:

“ The driver was a 33-year-old German national…”

Appears to have a mental illness. Does he bow down to Allah?

We don’t yet know the exact motive

Laughing at him, not with him.

This should explain his comment (info per AI) "Burkhard Jung, the Lord Mayor (Oberbürgermeister) of Leipzig since 2006, is a member of the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD)."

"the suspect is showing signs of mental illness"

So they are calling Sudden Jihad Syndrome a mental illness?

“We don’t yet know the exact motive; we don’t know anything about the perpetrator”. We know.

US would have said "But he has no relationship to terrorism."

What is that you “know”?

The killer is Jeffrey Kloß, a boxing trainer.
