1 No motive? How clueless can they be?

2 He probably yelled "Aloha Snackbar!". That means we will never know his motive.

3 He drives a VW Passat and attacks Germans with a knife, that doesn’t fit together.”

Huh?

4 My first thought was the VW Passat had some sort of local reputation, like how l3sbians in the US drive Subarus (Lezbarus). But it appears to be a practical German car.

That leaves us with the paradox of practical German transportation choices combined with stabby behavior which is decidedly un-Germanic.

No doubt EC could elaborate.

5 Some claim ~~"die Bullen"~~ the Polizei were actually trying to protect Sulaiman A. from others trying to stop the attack. Why would I not be surprised?

6 But recently, about the last year, I noticed that he had changed.

He was probably emboldened and his attack inspired by 10/7, in a parallel to the Crepol attack in France.

There's some additional information in German media behind paywalls and on X. Some should be taken with a grain of salt:

The attacker came as an Asylum seeker to Germany in 2013. Asylum was denied but he stayed anyway and married a German national. His wife cannot be found.

One of the BPE volunteers is still in IC. There's no information about his health status.

He probably yelled "Aloha Snackbar!". That means we will never know his motive

He was silent in all the video footage I saw.

An "Aloha" would have cleared the confusion about the incident and maybe the Officer would have been more cautious.

This vile creature has deviously, insidiously and treacherously abused our hospitality and our willingness to help.

Our response won't be a "Day of Rage".

We don't do "Days of Rage".

Perhaps we should.

7 The VW Passat is no doubt an appropriate vehicle for a blue collar family car or a manager’s wife’s car.

When Mr. Wife’s career took us to Germany, a generation ago, his company gave us an allowance for cars. It was precisely enough money to buy him a new 500 series BMW/400 series Mercedes, which is what all the local managers drove. Or for the same cost we could buy him a used 525 and get me a used 318. Being American, we chose to do the latter and drive them off the lot rather than spend 50% more and wait a month or so for a new VW for me and a new BMW for him.

Shortly thereafter I went to a coffee morning with some of the local wives, who all exclaimed about how kind my husband was to let me take the family car for the day. They were shocked that it was mine … and second hand. Apparently neither is done among the German managerial class. Very rigid ideas about what is and is not done — but as an American expat things were looser for me.

Have things changed in the interim, European Conservative?

8 This is a link to footage taken in the minutes before the attack that shows the Afghan calmly prowling the area.

This was Jihad, but not sudden.
