Hey, I've got a GREAT idea. Let's accept a whole bunch of these wonderful people here. We'll be able to say we've helped the downtrodden and overrun.

Last month, a Christmas market in the town of Ludwigshafen was the target of a bombing attempt.

Prosecutors said a 12-year-old Iraqi boy attempted to blow up a device at the local Christmas market on Nov. 26. The device failed to detonate, so the boy tried again on Dec. 5.

The device was hidden in a rucksack filed with nails and placed in a bush near the town hall.

Prosecutors said a pedestrian spotted the bag and alerted police, who carried out a controlled explosion.

They are being vague about the suspect.

This is awful news. I've been at that Christmas Market in past years, and it's packed with people. :(

I don't subscribe to the Wall Street Journal. Would you mind copy and pasting the article as well?

A man stormed into a Zurich mosque on Monday evening and opened fire on people praying, injuring three, Swiss police said.They said they had collected evidence inside the building and would make more details available on Tuesday. They declined to comment on the potential motive.

Two of the three men -- aged 30, 35 and 56 -- were seriously injured in the attack shortly after 5:30 p.m. local time (1630 GMT) near the main train station in Switzerland's financial capital, Zurich police said.

A third sustained less severe injuries. All three were brought to hospital.

The unidentified suspect, a man around 30 years old who according to witnesses was wearing dark clothing and a dark wool cap, fled the mosque, police said.

Better yet, why not vet them before entering our country. You know by checking them out on line and calls to "Syria" where we'd get nothing but glowing reports of them ready to accept their new homeland.

Oh wait the RUSSIANS HACKED THE ELECTIONS. Great Fucking security this admin has.

The headline should read: "A terrorist driving a truck plows into a crowded Christmas market in Berlin".

A truck is a tool without a will or agenda.

Technically, the poor security was exercised by Team Clinton and their illegal use of a private email server for official government communications and poor security practices on gmail. I agree the administration has fscked up priorities (not the least of which is their approach to national security) but the Russians, Chinese, and whoever else got got Clinton's emails because she's a retard hiring retards.

Or she allowed the vulnerabilities to be advertised and exploited in exchange for funds to the Clinton Foundation.

They're just saying that because the guy they have is a refugee and they don't want YET ANOTHER attack pinned on a refugee.

Yes they would. This is Europe we're talking about, full of sad impotent people afraid that the goat fuckers are going to kill them and doing anything to keep the baby rapers happy.

How's that open border policy working out for you Chancellor Merkel?

He's not wrong.

That's the flip side of open borders even here in the US. All the politicians know that some number of people/rate will be harmed by their policies. The rub appears to be if and how the media will report that fact.

We all know it's seldom the politicians, surrounded by taxpayer funded security, who pay the price for those policies.

There's a solution here somewhere. (I'll stop talking now)

Now I'm hearing that the Germans let the suspect go, not enough evidence. We'll see what happens.

Nevertheless, the Merkel administration isn't interested in justice for the victims, just like the government here they are interested in PC and perception and making sure they're "on the right side of history".

Slightly off topic, but does anyone know if there has ever been a case of a "civilized" country posting signage warning that deadly force is authorized against unidentified persons crossing a literal drawn line in the sand? And then shooting say 100 people a month at the line until people stop crossing it?

^^ I don't know about a mass shooting, but 80-something people were shot by border guards trying to get out of East Berlin. Course, those people were trying to get out, not get in, over a wall designed to keep undesirable westerners out.

Dunno if it's true or not, but I had a senior NCO who had been in Germany before the wall came down and he said one time they were doing an exercise in conjunction with the German army (West) and they thought they caught one of their role players. So they were "interrogating" him, middle of winter. Dude wouldn't give up his unit info, etc., was in civilian clothes, etc. Well, exercise ends and they call up the Germans and say to come get their guy, who by this point is freezing from having water poured on him, covered in food, etc. Germans reply all their folks are accounted for. Turns out he was an East German who somehow got over the wall and stumbled into their exercise; after his treatment by the US Army, he wanted to go back. Probably not true, but makes for a good story.

I'm not aware of a case on country borders. Of course we have had signage to that effect at protected areas in the US, Russia, etc. and in Singapore I saw signs that not only had multi-lingual translations of "Deadly force authorized" (or words to that effect) but also had stick figures with one guy holding an obvious AR and the other guy crossing the line falling down backwards. Sort of like this:
