At least nine people have been left dead and 50 people injured after a truck ploughed into a Christmas market in Germany on Monday evening local time, police say.
German police say a man suspected to be the driver of the black Scania truck with Polish licence plates has been arrested near the scene. It is also being reported that a passenger in the truck has died at the scene.
It is not yet known why the truck veered away from the road and into the Breitscheidplatz market near the Kurfuerstendamm and the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, a popular shopping area in west Berlin. One eye-witness reported seeing the semi-trailer travelling at approximately 60km/ph as it drove into the popular market.

Our condolences to the victims and their families.
German police have told people to stay in their homes and not spread rumours. So I guess their government doesn't want any complaints or protests.
I wonder what could be the common thread in all this violence and murder of innocents ?...Hmmm...what...could..it...be ?
That it's men doing all the killing? There's that.
I'm still waiting to hear more details before I can say anything since I like facts, however this sort of deflecting obfuscation and inferring it is a man/woman thing rather than something else is intentionally missing the point of the original poster and I think you know it.
Shhhh. Can't possibly be that. Then you're lumping white men in as equals with brown men and we all know how sensitive white men are about that.
Yes of course I know exactly the point that the original poster is trying to make. I'm just suggesting that there are heaps and heaps of other common threads in terms of these killings. Do I actually think that this is even remotely gender related? Of course I don't.
