New Year Brings Out the Crazies:
Van ploughs into Tokyo pedestrians headed for New Year's prayers
1 January 2018
A small van has ploughed into pedestrians celebrating the new year on one of Tokyo's most famous streets.

The man driving the car fled the scene but was later arrested by police for attempted murder.

Nine people were injured, one seriously, by the attacker who struck in the Harajuku fashion district shortly after midnight.

The street, which was sealed off to traffic, was packed with people heading to a shrine for New Year's prayers.

The 21-year-old driver of the van was identified as Kazuhiro Kusakabe.

Police told broadcaster NHK that he initially told them he had conducted a terrorist act, but then later claimed it was related to executions. It was not clear if he was referring to a specific execution or capital punishment in general.

And in Germany. Apparently a racially motivated attack against foreigners. In case anyone wants to make "religion of peace" comments"

A man has been arrested in Germany after driving his car into a crowd of people, injuring at least four, in what appears to have been an intentional attack directed at immigrants.

Police said the 50-year-old driver of a silver Mercedes first attempted to hit a group of pedestrians in the western city of Bottrop shortly after midnight on Tuesday, but they were able to jump out of the way.

The man, who was not named, then went into the city centre, where he drove into a crowd. Police said those hit by the car included Syrians and Afghans, and some were seriously injured.

The driver sped off towards the nearby city of Essen, where he tried and failed to hit people waiting at a bus stop before being arrested on suspicion of attempted homicide. Authorities said the driver made anti-immigrant comments during his arrest.

“Investigating authorities are currently working on the assumption that this was a targeted attack, possibly motivated by the anti-foreigner views of the driver,” police said, adding that there were indications the suspect had a mental illness.

You are more likely to be the one who makes "religion of peace" comments in an attempt to pre-empt anyone else from making "religion of peace" comments.

Really? As opposed to people that make the comment before any details are known?
