Once upon a time I'd see a headline like this and assume it was an elderly person or an impaired driver who had an accident.

Once upon a time being 100 years ago?
Terrorist attacks have been happening since the end of World War 2.

I mean that's categorically wrong. Remember what started WW1.

Why is it always Germany? Maybe it's a false mental association I've made but whenever I hear about a car ploughing into people, I feel like 75% of the time it's happened in Germany.

Driver is German. You can pack your racism away again for next time.

Radio Dresden is reporting it's a white guy and he appeared to be 'mentally disturbed': https://www.radiodresden.de/beitrag/amok-fahrt-demoliertes-auto-rast-mit-person-auf-dach-durch-leipziger-fussgaengerzone-890203/

It is a white guy covered in tats. There is a video on X of him crying when being arrested

Anyone with german citizenship is a german you f****** idiot. We are not a nationalist country with some weird sense of "genetic-origin" or whatever else you have cooked up in your brain.

The knife doesn't kill, the guy holding it does. The bike doesn't kill, a cyclist does.
Why, when we start talking about car drivers, the driver suddenly disappears and the headlines look like the cars kill by their own will? Drivers are responsible for their kills, not the cars.

yeah, why's it always men doing this? 90% of violent crime would vanish if we did something about them.
that's what you meant, right?
