Darkon84 Posted 21 December 2016 Share Posted 21 December 2016 23 minutes ago, Barky said: They shouldn't have stopped looking just because they had a suspect though. From what I've read the only reason they arrested the original guy is because a member of the public suspected him (on what basis I don't know, perhaps simply because he was Pakistani) and chased him through a park. The lorry cab was covered in blood but that guy didn't have a speck on him. Shouldn't have taken them long to at least figure out he might be the wrong guy. Now after two days they've finally found an ID card belonging to someone else. Didn't they search the cab to begin with? I don't know, usually a manhunt is all about providing any kind of image of the suspect, warning people not to approach them, putting emergency law in place and completely locking down the area. There we have Christmas markets reopened with an apparently murderous gunman at large somewhere in the area. Just doesn't add up. I'm sure they didn't stop looking, but whats the point in putting out images when you're not sure who you're actually looking for? You'll just end up getting flooded with bogus calls about someone you're not looking for. With crime scenes I'm sure there's protocol you go through and the correct teams have to come in and evaluate it, instead of diving in head first and ruining it. Though for all we know, the card may have been found a lot sooner and some investigating has gone in to it before releasing it, especially considering he has used several aliases. Speaking of which, it's incredibly helpful of the media to show the picture, but then blur out his face or cover his eyes I had no idea he was a crazed gunman anyway? Are there reports that he went shooting people too? I'm not even going to dignify the 'simply because he was Pakistani' point with a response More information http://news.sky.com/story/berlin-attack-tunisian-man-identified-as-suspect-from-truck-documents-10703902 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have expected cctv to be close enough to where he exited the lorry to be able to narrow down the images to a few people. Usually when something like this happens and a killer is on the loose they are really quick to get images out. I just think it's noticeable how slow this one seems to be progressing and it makes me wonder if something else is going on that the public aren't being told.

Thinking about it, if the suspect is in hiding but wanting to get out the country, if the authorities say they've found an id and are looking for a tunisian man it gives the suspect the opportunity to come out in the open thinking that he's got away with it.

I just think it's noticeable how slow this one seems to be progressing and it makes me wonder if something else is going on that the public aren't being told. True, he did shoot the Polish driver, though judging from the way events panned out, he didn't use the gun on anyone else or around shooting indiscriminately, so it doesn't look like that was part of his plan, and labelling the situation a murderous gunman becomes a little sensationalist. It's all just wording anyway so perhaps not the most important thing here really though 'armed terrorist' would probably be closest to the truth. I'm with you on the CCTV that I'd expect there to be some footage of some sort, even with how dark it was. Though looking a little more in to it, it could actually be very plausible that he wasn't caught on CCTV. Over here, you'd never get away from that without getting spotted as we are one of the most watched countries on the planet, though in Germany they have something called the 'protection of life, health and freedom' which considerably restricts the surveillance of public places and has very restrictive data protection rules. Needless to say, I think that'll be changing after this! There could well be something else going on, but we simply don't have any evidence of that other than it taking longer than usual to release images and a name (after figuring out the guys real name). Considering the whole protection of helth, life etc etc regarding cameras, you can easily start being led down the David Icke line of 'problem, reaction, solution' . Create the problem (the attack), witness the reaction (outrage and demand for more CCTV), then get the solution (more CCTV and the public under tighter watch). Who knows! EDIT: Some of that may well not make sense or be written poorly, I've written bits and pieces whilst still working, so it's probably just pure waffle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barky Posted 21 December 2016 Share Posted 21 December 2016 They must be reading Foxestalk because they've just released some images, though not cctv. Definitely plays right into the hands of people who want more cctv if not much of it has been caught on camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's sad to think like that but you can hardly blame them given they have history for that sort of thing with the NYE's attacks which they tried to keep out the public eye.

Might as well be that they intentionally withheld information from the public at first, I suppose because the police forces and the secret services were chasing after the "Pakistani" as the prime suspect initially or because they wanted to gain a little advantage by letting the true attacker off, lulling him in a bit of a false sense of security.

I suppose you can exercise small bits of caution, knowing the area you are in, where fire exits are etc if you are in a venue. But if you are caught right in the middle of it, in really there is probably little you can do. As for the case, it's gets more and more depressing reading it by the day, arrived in Italy from Tunisia, involved in a robbery, then burnt down a migrant centre, sentenced to four years in prison, released then to be deported, red tape holds that up, takes advantage of German policy, given emergency migrant papers despite having been deported from Italy and then does this. Then this is the result, a load of bodies in a morgue just before Christmas, awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
