Apparently this chap was a severe threat and they gave him "exceptional circumstances" to stay:mad:

Seems the target was teenagers at a music festival. He was turned away and instead tried to blow up a bar. According to sky, the authorities at first labelled him mentally ill and merely trying to commit suicide. A depressingly familiar response from people who seem to have abdicated responsibility for protecting their electorates.

& Madrid

With someone actually asking the question is the first is so sad in fact, not because of the lack of knowledge its the fact we have had so many attacks now by various methods....

Time to wake up, it is only a matter of time before they strike here again sadly

Wasn't sure if it was a bomb left rather than a bloke with a back pack that's all...

Seems to be that these attacks are by people that have mental illnesses. He had the explosives before he knew he was going to be turned away from the festival. It could have been worse had he been let in.

It is hard to know now who is mentally ill and who isn't, given that German officialdom would prefer this to be the reason, rather than admitting that letting in such huge numbers has overwhelmed the security services, and that, perish the very thought, Islam might be lurking in the background. It is hard not to jump to the conclusion that this character must have had some sort of help to produce the bomb, which, if so, would suggest that he is not just any old nutter, but had been part of a cold, calculated pre-planned attack.
Just spoke with my German relatives, who are utterly appalled that the generosity of the Germans can be re-paid in this manner -and they were only too happy to take them a year ago, regarding it as their moral duty to help. Given that IS seem by all accounts to be losing ground and manpower, these attacks make perfect sense from their warped perspective; each attack in Germany will doubtless bring about much public anger at what the average German understandably sees as betrayal, and thus contribute to a polarisation of attitudes from which they hope to gain recruits, as the muslims in Germany can be portrayed as being persecuted by the infidels. Obviously, the solution is not to react and give them that satisfaction, but life is rarely like that, when people have had enough.

Surely this doesn't come as a shock? Merkel has opened the flood gates. There is no going back now and as IS lose control of Irad and Syria these kinds of attacks will become their only way of fighting. Scary times indeed.

I can't imagine what the parents of young kids are thinking about the world they've bought them into? Everything is in place for massively unsettled and dangerous times ahead and Merkel has just accelerated things. I'm very happy that our borders were never opened all those years ago when Schengen came about. It seemed like a very good idea at the time but that 'time' didn't have millions crossing the Med to get into Europe.

What were the Germans thinking? That by showing hospitality, offering a safe haven and a chance of a better life would change the minds of the fanatics?

The look on the faces of audience members in this TV show is of sheer bewilderment as Angela Merkle attempts to explain her immigration policy .
I can envisage that she to may be seeking asylum one day .

The Germans thinking was guided by basic consideration for their fellow human beings. Had they had 20 years experience of dealing with the IRA like the UK and felt less guilt about 2 World Wars then they might have been more circumspect.
