Berlin police foil attack on half-marathon race
According to Reuters Berlin police stopped a terrorist attack at a local half-marathon event yesterday. Die Welt says that four people were arrested before they could commit their knife assault on spectators and runners;
Die Welt…said the four men were linked to Anis Amri, a Tunisian man with Islamist militant ties who killed 12 people in an attack in Berlin in December 2016 when he hijacked a truck and drove it into a crowded marketplace.
In its unsourced report Die Welt said the main suspect was known to Amri and had planned to stab to death spectators and runners at the half-marathon.
The suspect had in his possession two knives which had been especially sharpened for this purpose, the report said.
36,000 runners were signed up for the race and thousands more spectators lined the route.

Evidently these 4 Amish youth didn’t get the latest liberal memo: Without guns, nothing bad happens.
It is almost like evil people will use whatever they can to conduct evil…
Angry Roman Catholics?
They gotta be Amish Anarchists!
Free Will Baptists.
Radicalized Episcopalians.
Darkside Jedi?
Renegade Bene Gesserit?
Masdan heretics of the Church of Humanity Unchained!
All 4 were tied to “Anus Amri”…does that mean all 4 were anus’ 😉 I think so!! lol
Nicely done, too bad they didn’t kill these guys during capture…
Love that “especially sharpened” bit. I guess that most add an element of criminality or something.
Military grade sharpened.
You need a permit to buy the stone.
26Limabeans; looks like I’ll have to turn in my Dubl Duck stone that I used to use for sharpening my 3 hollow ground straight razors that I used to use for shaving years ago and the Arkansas stones I used when I did a little gunsmith tinkering. I think I’ll google Dubl Duck and see if they are still in business up in Jamaica Queens NYC, NY
Oh, so it wasn’t a terrorist attack because there was no bomb, or something like that?
Yeah, okay.
When Merkel is shown the door, and I hope that happens soon, perhaps this will come to an end.
What?!? I can dream, can’t I?
But were they carrying say, Military Grade Assault Knives?
Next up for banning by Eurotrash and the leftists here: pointy sticks and scary looks.
In the words of London Mayor Sadiq Khan “No excuses: there is never a reason to carry a knife. Anyone who does will be caught, and they will feel the full force of the law.”

I really wish I had made this up. After guns, now it’s knives. Because there is no excuse for carrying one? I go literally everywhere (except airplanes) with one. It is endlessly handy.
London is turning into a shithole – along with Great Britain.
Once upon a time, the English took away most of the sharp pointy things from the Scotts.
Mason,
How delightfully old fashioned of you that you might want to carry a knife.
I suppose you would use it to be self reliant and cut seat belts if trapped, cut rope if knotted, cut tape or sharpen pencils!
You might even use a knife for self defense if attacked by a criminal or terrorist.
I am sorry to inform you that your overlords have determined that “ no one needs a knife”
