Almost 70 injured in German Christmas market ‘terror attack’

Whatever his motives, the information coming out about him is less than helpful as to his intentions.

It's why I mentioned the Lufthansa crash which was a murder suicide that I happened to be reading about before I heard of this. Germany seemingly has a very strict system regarding medical information and privacy. That confidentiality cannot be breached beyond what I'm assuming is threats to self or others.

That means the police or even employers wouldn't have an inherent right to access such information.

That may have changed but I don't see any indication it has. Lufthansa did proverbial backflips for safety after that crash which in itself says the laws weren't going to change.

It'll all come out in time, my hunch says it was most likely a mental breakdown. Again he would've been capable of masking the symptoms of extreme stress but it's also fully possible he was under care but information lawfully cannot be shared. There's so many possibilities when going down those angles tbh.

People just losing their # to a cold world does happen unfortunately. I'm hoping it isn't that in all honesty because it leaves the sour taste you get when reading about coppers being murderers and rapists.

Psychologists are human too, it would be easier to dehumanise him and blame his background and/or upbringing. Things aren't always black and white.

The Saudi link rings alarm bells though.
