Man is jailed for life for driving Mercedes into German carnival parade last year, seriously injuring 90 people
2021-12-17
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Maurice Pahler, 31, given life term for German carnival attack in February 2020

  • He was convicted of 89 counts of attempted murder after driving into crowds watching parade in Volkmarsen in Hesse

  • Prosecutors said attack was deliberate, and he filmed it using a dash camera

  • But not motive was given - Pahler has never spoken to police about the attack, gave no testimony, and refused to cooperate with psychologists
    It seems reasonable to assume this was therefore not jihad — jihadis tend to shriek their devotion to the skies.
Deutsche Welle adds:
A psychiatric assessment of Maurice P. concluded that he suffers from a severe personality disorder that includes narcissistic, schizophrenic and paranoid traits.

However, he was not deemed to be in need of stationary psychiatric care.
Unexpectedly.
