4 March 2025: Four German Stories

 1.  Mannheim terror attack.  Basically, a German who drove a small Ford car into a group of Germans....two dead.....probably 20 wounded in some way.  Cops detain the guy.  Late PM last night....updated to  say he  had done some jail time a decade ago...physical violence.  Guy appears to have some mental issue. Zero radicalization angle.

2. Internal discussion between  CDU-CSU and SPD...up to 500 billion Euro for the German military over four years.

What can be said....over the past 20 years....the Merkel and Scholz gov't groups didn't fully fund the German Army....except in the last two years where they realized the problem they'd created.

3. The German Anti-Semitism Commissioner spoke up yesterday....suggesting for the deployment of the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (Germany's FBI) at universities.
