    Horrible and eerily similar to the terrorist attack in Nice

    RIP to all the victims, and thoughts with the families. Sounds like a terrorist attack from the last reports I read- sickening thing to do.

    Friend uploaded a Facebook pic of herself at that market just hours ago. Thankfully she'd already left by the time it happened.
    Another dreadful attack.

    RIP and obviously this is a scandalous and abominable crime...but what constitutes 'not kid gloves' here?

    Apologies if this seems inflammatory in the wake of something so very horrendous...but surely this is a time for cool heads and the accurate application of justice?

    There's been a high profile Islamic attack in Turkey too. The Russian ambassador has been assassinated by his Turkish bodyguard.

    Attack, after attack.
    The sad reality is that this will not end.

    I'm not entirely sure why, but this hit me pretty hard:


    Truck driver murdered for the vehicle.

    Two days ago i booked a trip to Berlin in February for five days. Still feel happy to go. I feel its important to stand with the locals.

    Heartbreaking for all who are suffering as a result of both the shooting in Ankara and the Christmas Market horror in Berlin.

    Sadly, I fear that at least some of the calculation behind both (if both were terrorist attacks) will be that there will be a strong reaction, that can be twisted into a victimhood narrative and "justify" further terrorism.

    Berlin is one of the world's great cities. Don't be scared, but be vigilant.

    Nice lorry attack happened very soon after another attack

    The mate I went to Berlin with in June is currently out there. He sent me photos from that very market on Saturday I think, and told me he was going back there tonight. Turns out he was on the U2, a few stops away when the attack happened. Turns out his missus and him had returned to the hotel for a little bit before going back out to the Christmas Markets, if they hadn't they would've most likely been there at the time.
