Latest car madness a few yards from my hotel there - I've driven past that exact spot dozens of times in my favourite city in Germany (and one of my favourites in the world).

get used to it over the next decade

24 years old, born in the 21st century. What is going on when someone so young and born into the new millennium world is (presumably) given sanctuary in a thriving western democracy compared to their own poor country and yet feels such anger, bitterness and rage that they want to kill as many innocent people in a few moments as they can. If it's the values of that country they take offence at then the solution is easy, you leave.
Given the immminent elections in Germany, I wonder if the perpetrator did it off his own bat or was put up to it by elements who want to boost the AfD (Russia? far rightists?). Or is he an Islamist and the timing is a coincidence? Perhaps the only positive thing about this incident is that he's still alive, so it may be possible to identify anyone who influenced him if it wasn't all his own idea. An asylum seeker with a car suggests that he's either well off enough to buy it himself (are asylum seekers usually that well off?) or someone gave it to him or he stole it. Reports say he was known to the police for theft and drug offences.

There is lot of it happening in China also.
If you look at Charlie Veitch on Youtube he always comments on "peace barriers".
Good questions Jo, a lot of asylum seekers do get driving lessons, driving is not hard anyway in the first place. I just find it boring.
Some reports say a truck, I drive a pickup truck they a lot cheaper to buy than cars especially on the used market, from only several hundred pounds.
The truck I had before was a Proton pickup, it did me for a few years before the repairs were no longer worth it, I still made a little profit when I sold it on though. Then bought another in Surrey for just over a grand, with a fresh MOT also.
Then again a lot of asylumm seekers do know the underworld, we must not expect they all innocents fleeing horrors of war.
Another theory it could be a car jacking. It's very hard to break in to modern cars and hotwire them.
