Germany: Van crashes into crowd, kills 3 and injures 20. Driver then kills himself. Does not appear to have been labeled a terrorist act yet, but it fits the pattern.

Well, interestingly, the driver used the van as a weapon against his victims, but killed himself with a gun.

Which just goes to show that even a bad guy with a gun can stop a bad guy with a gun before he kills again.

So you're saying it takes a good guy with a van to stop a bad guy with a van? But what if the bad guy is driving a BIG van, and the good guy only has a little van?

I want to know where all the bills are to ban assault vans ...

I thought they were coming for my shoes. I stand on concrete all day, and Vans are my shoe of choice for avoiding knee pain. I really wish someone would make a dress shoe with a sole of similar properties.
Maybe a rare occurence, but then you only have to get murdered once to ruin your whole day.

Shooting himself doesn't appear to fit the Muslim terrorist style.
