Machete-wielding man 'screaming Allahu Akbar' rampage in Hamburg supermarket
2017-07-28
We'll probably never know his true motivation
[DailyMail] A man wielding a large kitchen knife killed one and wounded four others after storming into a supermarket in the German city of Hamburg.

The attacker is reported to have screamed 'Allahu Akbar' before running into the Edeka shop where he stabbed one person and slashed at four others while trying to flee.

He was pursued by passers-by who wrestled him to the ground and called the police, who later arrested him.

One officer said there was 'no valid information on the motive of the attacker' who has yet to be identified.

German daily Bild published a photo of the attacker in the back of a police car with a white, blood-soaked bag over his head.

I'm surprised the police didn't arrest the passers-by for assault.

#9  Arabs have a terrible record fighting people who aren't unarmed women and children.Probably the most useless race on the planet.

Kill on the spot is certainly my plan. Why risk a judge's leniency for it? I'll risk the jury instead.

The passers-by should have just killed him on the spot.

Not a clue on the motive? Must be the PC rot has gnawed deeply into the U.K.

#5  The Germans really seem reluctant to say another muslim attacked defenseless women. Sweep, sweep sweep, under the bloody rug.

#3  "Allahu akbar" sounds like some kind of gangbanger lingo.
