As Twitchy reported over the weekend, Abdul Ballout, a known Islamist threat in Germany, rammed a van into a Pride event in Berlin, killing one and injuring 29. After a 24-hour manhunt, police cornered Ballout, who charged at them with a knife. He was shot and killed. Ballout was a German citizen of Lebanese descent and had a history of extremism, including prior attempts to join the Islamic State.
We didn't know that Berlin had a Queer Commissioner, but Democracy Now tracked him down for an interview, and he kicked this off by saying that, of course, the far-right was looking for something like this to happen so they could use it as an excuse to blame foreigners. It seems to us the Muslim terrorist was looking for something like this to happen.
