So, these attacks started when ?  After cars were invented or after Muslim immigrants were allowed to enter the country wholesale ?  Hmmmmmmmmm

Cause there were never any people killed in Germany until the Muslims entered....

Starting to sound like the driver may have just been sick in the head:

Quote

The driver killed himself in the cab of the truck immediately after the crash, Andreas Bode, a spokesman for the Münster police said. “What led to the act is still fully unclear and we are investigating in all directions,” he said.

Police also said they were investigating what they identified as a “suspicious item” found in the cab of the truck, but declined to give any further details. They ordered all residents of the inner city and reporters at the scene to clear out while they were investigating the item.

Herbert Reul, the interior minister of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, where Münster is, said the driver was a German citizen.

Several German media outlets, citing unnamed security sources, reported that the driver had a history of psychological problems. According to the Süddeutsche Zeitung, a national newspaper, the man was born in 1969 and had come to the attention of authorities for psychological issues in 2014 and 2016.

Stephen King published Mr. Mercedes in June 2014. i have wondered when the first real 'drive vehicle into a crowd to inflict as much damage as possible' incident occurred. 

i mean, obviously it happened before that date at some point, but when did it seem to turn into a purposeful, common act of terror?

I'm betting it was after "news" became a 'round the clock real-life Aristrocrats.
