I just don't get why. The terrorist has been living in Germany since 2006 and is a medical doctor, you'd think he was well-integrated into society.
- He is apparently a right wing conspiracy theorist and AFD supporter

  Interesting, maybe he wanted to increase hostility towards islam?
  But it sadly doesn't help understanding why someone like him would do that, my previous comment still stands.
  
  It sounds like he has serious mental health issues. Not alone shown by the fact that he is an AfD supporter. The same party Muskiboi is a big fan of.
- It doesn't take me too much imagination to see a path to terrorism after living in the face of constant racism, that got exponentially worse recently, for 18 years.

Why has this started happening almost every Christmas. An unwanted tradition.
- Why didn't they use Bollards? It's pretty much standard nowadays.
  At this point it's just negligent not to use them for christmas markets or other big gatherings
