The car-grabbers will be out in force again.

Protests, marches, kids doing Hitler impressions.

It is always so tiresome.

The contrast between these images isn’t just black/white vs. color, it’s fear-inspiring warrior vs. laughable neo-pussy. Oh, how the mighty have fallen.

Most often using a gun to kill people takes one shot at a time. Using a van or similar vehicle, one can take out several people at a time. So would the gun grabbers suggest banning all vehicles? Granted, a gun can be “smuggled” into a lot of smaller spaces but those too are dwindling.

I used to listen to the Sunday news summary on DW via shortwave.

about 15 years ago, some young "kid" stole a general aviation plane and flew it around the Frankfurt airport, Europe's busiest, essentially shutting it down, until he landed, all but out of gas.

The news reader finished the story brief "...landed safely, and was taken into custody without incident. The alleged suspect is thought to have psychological issues."

>>I wonder if population density is a factor here. There is a reason that the most pathological of societal forces are concentrated in large cities.

Not really. That’s a contributor, but the real factor is comfort and accessibility of products and services. In a modern, developed nation the cities have everything and it is just around the corner.

The people in their suits and hipster clothing look down on the sanitation or utility workers who labor in their midst. Basically, the modern city makes it inhabitants forget the skills that made cities possible.

The government and corporate decision-makers keep the masses infantile by bringing in the “immigrant” labor that doesn’t mind the work has the skills, and works cheap. That makes the infantile residents even worse since it teaches them that actual work IS the duty of foreigners.

That makes them also feel guilty so they overcompensate by insisting that these foreign laborers are not only noble in their causes, but are oppressed by other people which led to them coming to the city to be saved by the enlightened infantile residents.

Our comfortable, modern life is doomed to being destroyed by people who can exist without it. And our decision-makers will insure it.

Also reading on Twitter the driver was a 49 yr old German. But it hasn’t been confirmed. Also, rumors of one or two men seen running from the van after attack. Press conference coming up in a bit.

The only thing that makes me wonder is the driver apparently commited suicide with a gun. Jihadists don’t usually do that. We’ll see.

Yep. Conservative vs liberal is the same as rural vs cities.

Our hope is that many more people identify as conservatives than liberals.

If you look at the facial structure of the soldiers in those two photos, they could be the same person. Makes the contrast even greater.

I’d be interested if you could find that link.

I didn’t find the video to which I had referred, but I found this article with an embedded video which describes and analyzes the same experiments.

WHAT HUMANS CAN LEARN FROM THE MICE UTOPIA EXPERIMENT

It is a very sobering concept, and difficult to avoid seeing that the same dynamics are going on in societies all over the world.
