Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content.

7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description.

Cars don't belong in city centres.
There's a fair bit of controversy about this here in my locale, insomuch the comment sections (don't breathe these) are lighting up about an old jorno complaining about pedestrian areas
Again, pro-tip, don't visit the comment section on that rag but it pisses me off that I can't even insure/use my escoot still riding into those "pedestrian" areas without threat of 6 points / fine / confiscation. Fucking utter bollocks
edit: man, the censorship on that Newsquest (quest muh arse) article/comments is currently at 12 out of 51 visible unless you visit via /new. Pepperidge farm remembers that Reddit does this for mods viewing modqueues too
Good luck changing that in the heart of the German auto industry.
It's already getting beaten by China so hard that it's questionable whether they should even continue at this point.
I hope he’s AfD. At least it might convince a few more people that they are dangerous crazies.
It was a 24 year old man from Afghanistan.
Germany is now almost guaranteed to have a far-right majority after the next election
The monkey's paw curls
~~The attacker is an Afghan who came to Germany as a refugee and wasn't legally allowed to stay anymore, but wasn't deported.~~
The attack targeted a labor union and there are children among the victims.
This will push everyone but hardcore leftists further to the right.
That’s old information. He has been legally allowed to stay and haven’t been on the radar of the police.
Mistakes happen, but it’s sad that officials in Bavaria failed to check this crucial information and spread it loudly to a wide audience only to backtrack somewhat quietly.

The last times AfD people did this, they still blamed foreigners. They'll never accept it.
They may not. Some who sympathize with them may change their mind.
Some might, but I haven't seen it happen
It's hard to know what's inside people's heads or why they might change their vote.
Well, I'm talking about the people I know & who have told me what's inside their heads
Unless you know what’s inside the heads of every voter who might vote for them, I don’t think that’s relevant. However, it turns out it was an Afghani immigrant anyway, so it doesn’t matter.
Instead of backing into the hypothetical possibility, why don't you share any evidence that this is happening?
Because this all started with me being hopeful about something and not stating anything as fact?
It just drove itself did it?
I disagree with the wording of the title, but as a policy I leave all article titles unchanged. Let it serve as an example of how the media bail out vehicular violence through their reporting.
Understandable
