Fighto!
How or why this vermin criminal was allowed to stay in Germany is beyond belief. These incidents are just playing into the hands of the neo-nazi AfD, and will likely get them elected.
I just hope those injured will fully recover.

The AFD are cheering right now. Failed asylum seeker, eight years in Germany leading a life of crime and displaying Islamist tendances, but German authorities refusing to deport him. It's like they want the extreme right to take power.
Thereby creating a serious security concern in Germany. Great policy, you morons. Those responsible need to be held to account.

Referring to humans, even those who do abhorrent things, as "vermin" is playing into Neo-Nazi hands.
Confusius
This information is actually wrong and has been corrected quite some time ago. More than 5 hours ago the very same interior minister corrected his own claims. The suspect had never committed any crimes before and was not required to leave the country. In fact he had a residence and working permit from the city Munich. So far he had only appeared as a witness to a theft when he was working as a store detective.
So one really big screw up from Herrmann who once again jumped the gun and made a factually wrong statement.
I'm not sure if Google translate or some other tool will be of any help, but you can find up-to-date information here, so you don't have to rely on the outdated article:

*Failed asylum seeker, eight years in Germany leading a life of crime and displaying Islamist tendances, but German authorities refusing to deport him.*
It is an oft recurring scenario. I wonder if the Germans - and the British too, for that matter - are self-hating?

And you believe it.
Whatever, Refugees Welcome has been an absolute disaster, and the body count just keeps going up.

Those attacking cars again.

Most are not. But their powerbrokers are: civil servants, human-rights lawyers, politicians, corporate interests. That's why right wing populism growing. Too many years of mainstream parties pushing unpopular and harmful policies, distancing themselves from a growing segment of the population.

The Germans must be getting sick of foreigners trying to murder them?

Take your multiculturalism..
Europe is dying..

Yes!

The fact another one of their ilk drove into a crowd of innocents with murderous intent, certainly plays into "Neo Nazi" hands. And most people no matter their roots.
If you're disturbed by the name calling, you gravely missed the point.

Scholars of the Nazi Holocaust often say Germany refusal to accept other nations, ie "multiculturalism " was a reason for the abhorrent history of WW2 Germany.
Australia is happily multicultural and better for it.
Fringe elements from some groups oppose it but mainstream support is stronger.

No, I’m not at all. Try to wrap your head around the idea that I can actually be bothered by both the murder of innocent people and dehumanizing people by referring to them as vermin. If you think the reference was aimed solely at the driver of the car, you’re the one gravely missing the point or just pretending to.
Fighto!
I don't care what colour or religion one is.
If you maliciously drive a car into a group of children and adults with the intention of maiming and killing, you are vermin and scum - and should never see daylight nor freedom again.
GuruMick
Fighto...just dont call people vermin...thats what Nazis called Jews.
Not a good look.
